I'm planning on testing some other products (waxes, glazes, etc.) on my wife's car and as such am looking for a good wash to use in place of Z-7. I was leaning towards Meguiar's Gold Class but this Citrus Wash and Gloss is starting to look interesting. I like the thought of using it as a paint cleanser and wheel cleaner at high concentrations but don't want to compromise on lubricity when used as a general wash.

lubricity is not compromised when using wash n gloss in a shampoo dilution...if you really want to add lubricity to your car wash just put in an ounce of onr with wash n gloss...they play very nice together and i often foam my car with 3/4oz wash n gloss and 3/4oz onr...super lubricity and great cleaning power... | |

Slickness as in lubricity during the wash...it is good..but not quite as good as griots and 901...remember I used 1/2oz to maybe 2-2 1/2 gallons...maybe 3/4 oz would have been better results...I would say it's lubricity is more than GC as I have used that shampoo also...was not impressed with it..seems the paint felt grabby after GC ....I believe you will like Citrus wash...It could of been me also ..as this was my first bucket wash of the Year...so I may have been off a bit judging it..never know

I just used the Citrus wash today. I don't find a difference between this and Poorboy's SS&S, but then the vehicle wasn't really dirty. My dad's car is really dirty and I plan to try the Citrus wash on it. 1/2 oz for 2 gallons is ridiculously krazy concentration, I couldn't believe it, but it did well  . Now, I just have to make some various cleaners out of it. | |

Oh yes, I love that Pete's wax! The additional two I bought aren't for me, I'm giving them to some friends of mine so they can try it as well. | |

I tried this wash again with water from my other well...much softer water..and It was much better as far as lubricity...this time it felt very much like oil on the panels..the first water I used is hard water...it was night and day between the two as far as lubricity..I used 1/2 oz to 2 1/2 gallons of water and the mitt was just gliding over nicely....much better than the first time I used it...so it is sorta water depended if you want to put it that way...
I like it....But 901 is still my weekly wash ..it just seems to really add justice to the DG sealants...
