Hit a Plateau on Shampoo Options

[Accumulator]

re: product . I`m fairly careful with -most- of my stuff ... What started my whole -pov change- was with my tin can 1z polish, lids tight, etc solvent outgassing out

Gee, that surprises me! My 1Z stuff in metal cans (and I have a scad of it) is staying OK despite the temps in the storage room getting kinda extreme (at least relative to the rest of the shop).

JustJesus- With your water restrictions, that bucket of 3D will probably last you forever! If you try mixing the PB with it, I`d sure like to hear how it works out. And I *DO* appreciate your sending it to me, just haven`t gotten around to trying it yet

And yeah, the 3D seems to have zero effect on my LSPs, doesn`t even (completely) kill SprayWaxes, at least not with just one wash (I never get the durability from those that others seem to experience).

The Duragloss is actually a good one, too. But it seems to have some leave-something-behind stuff in it. It`s up there when it comes to lubricity. The gloss enhancers do add a little to the look. I `believe` it has some type of "drying agent" in it? Not sure about that last one.

haha. YES! I`ll have the 3D forever! I`ll report back, somewhere, if I do end up mixing the two. And no worries, Accumulator, I totally understand not getting around to trying some gifted products. I have at least 3 of those on my shelves. Actually....probably 5-8. Oh man.

Ultima paint guard wash works really well on coated cars. It can be a bit harsh on delicate Nuba tho as reset it. I think it’s better and cheaper than reset. If I recall it’s like a 500:1 dilution also but don’t quote that.

Oh dear. I totally forgot. I *think* I have that one. I bought it to use on a car that I polished using Ultima products. I wanted to try that soap on that car. Oops

JustJesus- Yeah, if the DuraGloss didn`t have that Cherry scent (that I`ve heard about) I`d probably try it. That`s a deal-breaker for me though

It`s been years since I`ve used it. But I think it`s more of a cherry medicine scent. That`s actually worse, right? hehe.

I still have an unused gallon of it.IIRC the scent was really rather mild. Otherwise I wouldn’t have used it. I might as well go ahead and use it once my Pink runs out.

JustJesus- If it`s artificial *enough* I might not mind so much.

Bill D- Mild huh? Eh, I`d hate to gamble given my usual, uhm...threshold of significance..to such things

[Fishroes]

I have a gallon of it
it cleans pretty good
foamed nicely in the foam gun also
people like it on Autogeek forum
the only reason I bought it was because autopia was out of the optimum car wash at the time

Hyper wash plus a little apc

Nice comments. Since we`re on the topic does anyone have a recommendation for a shampoo that plays well with hard water? I`m about out of my Adam`s blue and it`s been fine, but I`m curious if there`s anything better out there. I care most about lubricity and preventing water spots, suds aren`t really a priority.

I battle the same issue as far as water hardness goes.....have yet to find any one soap that`s any better than another in that regard....I`ve read (haven`t tried it yet) that adding ONR to your bucket helps
