Your favorite Car Wash Soap

That’s the next soap on my list. How strong is the smell? I like 3D pink but the scent is almost non existent while using it. While it’s not an important part of soaps performance, I do enjoy the scents.

It's mild but nice; definitely not overpowering. It's claimed to be cherry scented, and it is, but not the strong (stinky) cherry scent that most things seem to be. My wife can't stand most things that are cherry scented but she finds this wash pleasant and enjoyable.

The smell of Duragloss 902 is why I never bought another bottle. Its SO strong. In fact its one of the strongest smelling car shampoos I have ever used.

I just couldn't handle it anymore. Its like having some cheap cherry candy or cherry cough syrup hanging under your nostrils.

Here's the Renny Doyle in action. It's pretty thick this is after about 4 minutes. I like it .

I’ve got a month of stand alone protection out of it. I bought it BOGO, so $5 per bottle. Great stuff! Great bang for the buck and I dig the smell.
 
A month is good .
I'm ready to re wax before then anyways.
I got some Colinite 845 I want to try .
Need for bead on top of that should be a solid combo.

To chime in, I've gotten into rinseless washes and I really like Wolfgang Uber. Very easy to use, and leaves the paint shiny and slick. For the old two bucket method I have some Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss - it is OK, not sure I'd buy it again. When it runs out because of my experience with Wolfgang Uber, I think I am going to try their normal shampoo with the SiO2.
 
Uber SiO2 Rinseless is my favorite so you’ll like it. I like N-914 at 0.75 oz per gallon for a periodic thorough rinseless cleaning. And then Reset every month or so when it isn’t too cold out. And McKee’s Coating Prep Wash before applying a coating. Yep, too many car wash soaps. I blame all of you! :)

Meguiars D110 Hyper Wash or CarPro Reset are the two I use.

Ditto. 2 great car wash soaps^

If we’re living in the good old days where we could appreciate a car wash for all its worth I’d pick and sorely miss Meguiars Gold Class and Meguiars Shampoo Plus.
 
My go-to is still Adam's Car Shampoo. I use it in a bucket and my foam canon. I have to wash in the sun and it has always done well with water spots. I tried P&S Pearl last summer. It foams nice, but it was terrible at water spotting when washing in the sun. I also use Koch-Chemmie GSF on occasion. It foams up great and rinses nice. I don't leave it on long, because it specifically says "do not let dry on paint".
 
I’ve been using Griots Surface Wash in my cannon. It’s very forgiving to drying, even in the sun.

I have been using GSF a bit lately. It's a nice product, mixes easily, smells great and as mentioned, rinses well.

I found Adam's Car Shampoo too thick to mix easily into a foam cannon. The cost of Adam's products in Australia is extortionate, a 16oz bottle costs $24.99 compared to $9.99 in the USA.
 
I don’t always use soap, but when I do I use Meguiars Gold Class. Normally I will just rinse less wash with ONR.
 
I switched to CarPro Reset a couple of years ago. Haven't yet seen anything worthy enough to make me switch.

It's extortionate in the US as well. Optimum Car Wash is $11.99 for 32oz / $30 for a gallon. Hyperwash is $35 for a gallon. I've always be curious about Adam's products, but the prices have kept me away.
