What is the best car wash shampoo and why??

**Garry Dean** · 03-09-2008, 07:33 PM

As the title says. I usually use Blue Coral wash and wax f$$or customers cars because it cleans well and its inexpensive, but I offer my Premium package where I use all premium products. Im looking for a good car wash shampoo that you can tell a difference with. Got any suggestions?What do you think of Poorboys wash shampoo? Is it worth the $35 per gallon??

I still really like Megs Gold Class a lot.It offer awesome sudding and leaves the paint slick.

Nufinish car wash also looks good,similar to CG`s citrus gloss shampoo.

there are alot of good OTC car wash`s (DG901, GC/NXT, EO1, etc)...

I`ll only comment on the OTC shampoos I have used. I really like GC. The NXT I didn`t feel was quite as slick. It does smell amazing though.

I like Bubble Bath from TOTL for cheap and OCWash for the overall fav.

`i\`ve only used 6-8 shampoos and so far the gold class was the best. it seems to have the best lubricity. blue coral for the price. and I got a free jug of mequires the other day (the pink stuff) when I bought the NXT 2.0, and it was ok`

What is OCWash??

**stiffdogg06** · 03-09-2008, 08:14 PM

I believe both of these soaps provide awesome sudness and slickness...

- Poorboys SSS

- Duragloss 902/901

I will be trying Z7 this Spring since I get it locally.

Gold Class for me, its lubricity is good for me, suds great, and leaves suface slick.....oh yeah, it smells wonderful

**SYDWAZ** · 03-09-2008, 08:42 PM

Well I had Gold Class, then just switched to DG 901. DG was IMO way better on the suds. It keeps suds for a very long time, I was impressed. DG 901 is now my favorite shampoo!!

Nah, you can get great shampoos for 15-20 a gallon. Auto Magic`s is good, and CG`s Citrus Wash n Gloss is good too. Not sure you can tell a huge difference in end results though. Most of the difference is in ease of using the shampoo.

That`s good to know Tim. I`m now relieved knowing I`m not cheating my customers by not utilizing the expensive products some might suggest I should use.
