Stopped by our local Advanced Auto. Been awhile. I was amazed by the name brand detailing products they now carry. Spotted the Mc Kee`s 37 Si02 Auto Wash. SOLD! Been wanting to try this unique soap for some time. The only Si02 soap that can be used by washing the whole vehicle then rinsing. Being the truck is coated with TW HS Spray coating, this will be a great time to try it. I recall when it was released, it had fantastic reviews. Looking forward to hopefully using it this weekend.

I guess I`ve been using it for a couple years now. Takes me quite a bit of time to work thru a gallon. The one thing I`ve noticed about it is it gets REALLY thick when mixed with water and then stands for a while. I premix 4 oz of soap in a gallon jug of water so I can quickly fill my foam gun. It gets very thick after sitting for a while. Strange.


Good product from what I can tell; I also like the attribute of it being able to sit for a bit before rinsing. To me, that`s helpful.

I tried it a few years ago and didn`t really see the value, now the Wolfgang SiO2 I have been very happy with. It actually seems to bead even on raw paint which I could never the the McKee`s to do.

One thing to note is don`t expect this to leave protection behind like a ceramic infused soap. That is not it`s intention.

Interesting soap. THICK is right! WOW. Did fine in the foam gun. Really foamed up in the bucket! Almost like a shaving cream foam. Cleaned well. Very slick. Rinsed off well. Did i notice it leaving anything behind? Hard to say. Truck did look stellar after the wash. I finished with TW HS Wet wax. If you compare it to Griots ceramic wash and coat, well Griots comes out on top. But Griots is a true wash & coat soap. The plus of the Mc Kess is you can foam and wash the whole vehicle, not one panel at a time. Would i get a gallon of the Mc Kees? I probably would on sale. It is a expensive soap. In closing, the watermelon scent was hardly noticeable to me.

I guess that`s my disappointment. I recall it being pitched as a soap for ceramic coated car that would also leave additional protection.

It was but it was never stated it leaves protection. I’ve posted this many times.

Anyone -- I usually use Mckees waterless wash concentrate, but recently bought the Wolfgang SIO2 Waterless / Rinseless concentrate.
Question is: Due to the SIO2, do I need to wear gloves when I use this? I wear gloves when I do a ceramic coating or a ceramic spray sealant, so I am curious.

No you do not. But it is going to be up to you if you choose to so.
