I currently use Meguiar`s Gold Class Car Wash on my Klassed car, but I find that it sometimes leaves the finish not feeling as slick and glossy as I would like it to after a typical wash. Is there any car wash out there I could buy locally that would leave a super-slick finish while enhancing gloss?

gold class is my favorite out of anything i`ve bought at a store





sounds like you may need to just rewax

Not locally available but if brought in volume 2-3 bottles 1Z Perls fits the bill. :xyxthumbs

My new favorite is Duragloss 901. This stuff leaves a slick finish and no spots. Great lubrication to. Get it at Carquest.

Also not available locally (hope all these "not local" suggestions aren`t bugging you :o ) but *my* favorite on SG- Griot`s Car Wash. It doesn`t *restore/increase* slickness, but it cleans well and doesn`t strip SG (I`m going on 12 months since my last coat of SG, still holding up great on the family beater).



For what you`re after, I`d just use a Klasse-friendly QD after the wash.

The Sonus wash available in the Autopia store was made for Klasse. I like it however I`m still not used to the lack of suds; it is still very effective though.

I just recieved 1z Perls Shampoo, this is the best stuff I`ve ever used, leaves a real slick finish when your done, like no other, it`s a little expensive but I`m sold. Does anyone know where it can be bought locally (any major chains carrying it), or is it only available online?:up

in Weaver, AL carries 1Z products. That`s as local as local can be for an online site. 1Z is not sold in retail chains.

I`ve been using Megs Gold Class, Tropi-Care (old, not tested the new one yet). I here Poorboy`s has a new car wash coming out soon, this should be interesting. I also want to checkout some 1Z Perls in the near future.

One man`s opinion:



Premium



P21S is my fave. 1Z is used periodically and I am using the ultra-expensive Pinnacle on the wife`s Camry. Z-7 before any serious polishing job.



Affordable



NXT, Duragloss, Eagle One Wet



Have fun!

A big thank you to everyone for their input! I tried the Eagle One Wet Car Wash and it is absolutely awesome. It blows away every other product I have tried in terms of suds, shine and overall gloss. Many thanks once again!

I used the EO for a couple of years, and tried the NXT wash last trip to the local, I like it better than the EO, matter of fact I have to go tommorow for some more wash and will get the NXT again. For local / in town , stuff it works great....
