No, the Griot's is conventional soap. And a very good one. I have some and really like it. Just not quite as good as my HW......

My bad. When I searched the AG store for " griot's brilliant finish", the only thing that came up was the rinseless version. Only by using SkyNet was I able to find the AG listing for the regular "brilliant finish" car wash. Weird.

I used to go that route—but not anymore!
Instead, I go with the following.
I highly suggest you do as well.

HyperWash has great suds, smells good, is highly concentrated, etc.........
None of these qualities are unique to HyperWash, but here is my one reason for always recommending it:
Before I tried HW, I would wash/clay my truck before polishing in the spring, and always notice how my pads picked up some form of dirt (In the form of "blackness" on the pad face). I always just assumed that a wash soap or clay could not remove all of the grime, and by using a machine, it was the thing that removed that last 1% or so.
Since I have used HW as my soap (and lube for my synthetic clays) my pads have zero "blackness" on them that I experienced with the other soaps.
An eye-opening difference to me on just how good this soap is.

I've had some good results in the past with Stoner's Visible Shine Coating Wash. Cleaning power is decent for a wash & wax and lubricity is decent as well.
The protection it leaves behind on the paint is very good when compared to other wash & wax products that are offered OTC. I attached a beading pic for reference.

hyper wash is not only economical, but body shop safe (IIRC) so it won't interfere or add anything to your LSP (wax, sealant, coating). since you only use about 1 ounce per 4-5 gallons of water, a gallon will easily give you over 100 washes. i don't trust any citrus based soap for maintenance washes, i only use them when i need to prep a vehicle before correction or use it on a really dirty car just to clean it...

Interesting. I wonder what the "special sauce" is in HW ? I looked up all the ingredients via their CAS#'s (Chemical Abstracts Service #) and nothing stands out ... just a bunch of common surfactants and fragrances.

Hmm..... It could be that I spilled a modicum of an Anheuser Busch product into it.
That has happened to me in the past......
Have you tried the HW?

I haven't tried HW but I will give it a go when I run out of my Optimum.
Not going to try the AB "additive" though, that stuff is swill and I only use it for killing slugs in the garden.
oke:
