I already have my favorite stripper, chemical guys citrus wash but what is your favorite glosser for maintenance washes?

I like Ultima, Finish Kare Wash & Wax Concentrate, and HD Wash.

The original DP Power Wash formula was the first one to come to mind for me too.

Anyone try CG`s hybrid V7 wash? I want something with NO protection. I like my coatings naked.

If you want your coatings "naked" with no protection; then you don`t want a gloss enhancing soap. The "gloss enhancers" are something that is left behind and are basically a shiny layer of protection.

I always thought glossifiers washed off once it rains and never added protection.

My expeperience with glossifiers is that some are better than others. So some last longer than others. Like with CG Hybrid V7; while it did add a gloss and slickness it absolutely killed the beading of my coatings till I could get it washed off. And 1 rain shower wasn`t enough to do it. I had to do another good wash and I usually had to use a stronger soap mixture or something like CarPro Reset. Now I just was and use Reload or Sonax BSD.

I guess the way that I look at glossifiers could be flawed. (And I do welcome someone to explain it if I am, so I can give and have better information) But I see them as basically a form of a wash and wax. Usually with more shine and less durability; but they are similar IMO.

I`m going to do a comparison,might as well throw the kitchen sink at it!

1Z Xclusive
CG Hybrid V7 soap
PB Super Slick suds
Cpro Reset
BF wet diamond shampoo

Also going to order my fave combo for when I`m lazy with the other cars in the house 1Z perls + Cpro Hydro - the easy super uber glossy protection for non coated cars is insane.
