Recommend best car shampoo?

[PersonalTouchAD]

I try to stay on a budget and can`t see spending a lot of money. I have used Turtle Wax Zip Wax car wash. It has great cleaning ability, has a wax to help with the shine, has good suds and lubricity for washing. Call me cheap but I use it and it works for me and can`t see spending $15, or a lot more on some brands, on a pint of shampoo for the car. JMO.

+1 on the Zip Wax. Works great without breaking the bank. Not to mention you can run down the street and pick it up at your local wal-mart.

Ardex foamy car wash. This stuff is industrial strength foaming action yet rinses clean. It makes megs gold class seem like watered down dish soap.

Let`s not forget about dilution ratio`s. Many washes that "seem" expensive are actually cheaper than OTC choices.

DG901

Smells great
Cleans very well
Very economical

I agree! My local mom and pop hardware store keeps me supplied. I`ve tried others and WILL try Lusso, but DG902 will always be on the shelf!

Having a DG supplier locally just makes having easy access (to one of the best product lines on the planet) that much sweeter.

The best shampoo, there is only one. Lusso Oro is the best. It`s pricey though.

I love this stuff.. Don`t end up using it all the time but it is so smooth, smells good, has good cleaning ability, and the suds LAST.

There are a lot of good soaps to suit your needs: scent, price, cleaning, added shine.

Blackfire Soap
DDJ Born to Be Mild
Auto Finesse Lather
Poorboys

I`ve read some good reviews about lather so I decided to try it. Didn`t like it at all. Lubricious was sub par.

I really like Megs HyperWash as a standard wash for almost all things. But Wolfs White Satin has really surprised me and is one of the slickest soaps I have ever used.

What ratio do u use with white satin?

Usually 1 - 1.5 oz with 4.5 - Gallon of water. (Std is 500:1)


Their Mean Green Rinseless is really good as well.

Broke out a new gallon of CG MAXI SUDS 2 last weekend. Great soap. Good cleaning and dwell time. Mixes up about the same as hyperwash.

1oz per bucket is on the instructions. I use about 2 ounces to about 3 to 4 gallons water and that is overkill but at that strength it really cleans especially the bugs off the front better. So dilution ratio is pretty much on par with most other soaps. So at about $6 per 64 ounces/2oz per wash/32 uses goes a lot further than a 16 oz bottle (BlackFire, Pinnacle, and Migliore are a few that come to mind) that have similar dilution ratios. So yes on this subject OTC beats out your high end mail order stuff any day of the detailing week. JMO.

I think at this point in the industry there are just as many good shampoos as there are good car waxes.
