    Murph1083- My vote for "other" is for Griot`s Car Wash. VERY high lubricity, very good cleaning, and very easy on wax/sealants. I really think this soap is something special.

    P21S is my favorite followed by GC. I also use QEW, trying to be environmentally responsible, not that I really like it that much.

    Platinum, Mothers and Z-7 for my three cars which correspond to the wax/sealant I use on them.



    Gold Class is a good wash and very popular especially since it can easily bought in bulk, but I love trying different products. Quite honestly, I wish 8ounces was the standard size when it came to all detail products. It takes too long to go through an entire 16 ounce bottle.

    Prior to Autopia, I had bought Zymol Auto Wash. Oh well, it works for me. Lucky, for me once I found Autopia, the first thing I searched on was that Zymol Auto wash. Come to find out it is really made by Turtle Wax. Oh well, fortunately, the search results weren`t too bad. Lubricity and suds, it works well.

    I am using Eagle One wet right now. I have a small bottle of Megs GC that will be next. After that is finished, I will buy some turtle wax carwash unless I find other stuff for less $.



    Its just soap.

    Z7 on my concours car, which has Zaino sealant.



    Currently using Zymol wash on the Benz, because Zymol mailed me a free bottle of their soap and one of their cleaner wax. (Don`t know how the heck that happened, unless it was because I attended the SC Eurofest last fall.) I`ve been pretty happy with its performance, though it doesn`t feel like it has quite as much "lubrosity" (can`t remember which Autopian coined that perfect phrase!) as the Zaino wash.

    Z7 is the only thing I`ll use on Zaino or Blackfire, and P21s for waxed finishes.

    I am all about American Shine Carnauba Wash when my carnauba wax needs a little boost and all about the Platinum Shampoo if I only have a sealant layer(s) on.



    Last night, my buddy whipped up this mixture of all sorts of stuff...it was the first wash for both of our cars since the snow has melted so we needed to cut the grease, salt, sand and crap off like it was no ones business. I think it consisted of a shot of each:

    Platinum Shampoo

    One Grand QD

    Mist-n-Shine

    AS Carnauba Wash

    and maybe some Dawn...



    I wasn`t paying that much attention, but man, it rocked! :shocked
