Your carwash soap

Smokinfastlegend · 03-26-08, 12:15 AM

Ok Guys, out of curiosity, what are you guys using to wash your cars?

For me, im using Meguiars (of course i would lol.) Im torn between their gold class wash and this new wash i picked up. Meguiars #62 wash thats pH balanced. Works well too. SO what are you guys using?

California Dreaming Car Wash...my mechanic tells me it's good for dark colors (minimizes water spots) and is environmentally friendly.

CDUBB1 · 03-26-08, 12:52 AM

i use Poorboy car wash

Meguiars NXT Gen car wash! Works great!

RedLegend92 · 03-26-08, 02:14 AM

I use GM (chevy) car wash with wax..used to work there..got it for free

GrumpySteelMan · 03-26-08, 02:35 AM

Everyday washes: Kit Carnuba (Cuz it smells nice)
Pre-Wax: Dawn Dishwashing Soap (Strips wax as well as other nasty stuff better than most car washes)

meguiars gold class

FF Drifter · 03-26-08, 05:17 AM

I use Meguiar's Gold Class usually. I have a bottle of Meguiar's NXT Gen as well ~ although I like how it smells better, I am not as happy with how it cleans.

When I get tree sap or severe crap all over my car, I use regular dishwashing soap followed up with clay bar and wax.

Meguiar's NXT Gen does smell good, lol

samblaze · 03-26-08, 12:03 PM

The California Dreaming has carnauba and smells good too. I use dishwashing soap before the monthly clay bar. I only wax once a month too, is that enough? car gets driven 2-3 times a week (~7000 miles a year), only in nice weather.

I use good year's mr clean formula. You put it in a special hose fitting and you can switch between water and soapy water. Its not mcguiars but I'm cheap and it'll clean your car.

gunna try this one out

I use all Griot's Garage products.. I have yet to use something that works better. It may cost more but its worth it.

prominance1 · 03-26-08, 05:14 PM

either Meguiar's Gold Class or this expensive stuff called Very Berry, no joke.
Its red and its probably the best smelling thing you've ever put on a car. Used to get it intermittently from a detailing product distribution guy I know, haven't seen it anywhere else. It goes a long way and includes the wax that others have. Quality is the name of the game. And guys, can you quit it with the dish soap, use a compound for a serious problem you have, dish soap was not designed for a cars surface at all
