Ah right, didn`t think about water hardness at all. My house have very2 hard water, not just calcium but i think it is almost salt water. Now, my problem did take one level ahead : Water Marks.

I dunno if you`re likely to have both "hard" (minerals like calcium) and "salt water" (sodium). Softening really hard water can maybe do something like that as it replaces the calcium ions with sodium ones (IME softened hard water is murder on certain, but not all, plants).
3D pink is a very nice soap. Decently priced, good lubricity, foams well (if your into that, I am), and it leaves nothing behind. I`ve used a lot of different soaps but always seem to come back to 3D pink. Poorboys SS&S is a very close second for me. Just my .02
We are getting off-topic somewhat, since this thread IS about car soaps , BUT:
Just to be clear; "softened" water is much "different" than de-ionized water.
Which is WHY discriminating Autopians use a CR-Spotless De-ionizer Water System rather than using "Hey Culligan Man" home water softener.
Also, for the "more-than-I-really-needed-to-know" Autopian, please see: Zero Water vs Distilled Water

Lonnie- I don`t use my CRS all that often, but it`s great for pressure-rinsing vehicles that aren`t too dirty. Without the softeners I`d have some real hard-water headaches, so the garage and house each have dedicated softener (and filtration) systems. Even with the CRS, I mix my IUDJ with distilled. And man do I hate recharging the CRS, just one of those chores that`s no biggie to others but bugs me something awful. Did just replace the batteries in its meter though, so I guess I use it a bit for them to need that.
I haven`t used mine and with the release of PFM towels I think I`m never going to use it again. It`s a hassle and an unwanted expense for me.

Nope still a very foam gun centric approach

Last week used Gyeon plus worked great not a ton of suds but very good lubricity, this week broke out my old trusty Adams car wash soap worked just as great!

Wanted to add, if your looking for a soap that will maintain your LSP, McKees 37 POWER WASH is perfect for this. I have used this in the past and it really does a fantastic job while further protecting with real wax in it.

As far as the best wash that I have used to date I would say Ultima Paint Guard Wash , I look forward to using it every time.
I mainly use Meguiars gold class both in the foam lance (when I want to add some fun to the wash) and in the bucket along with a couple capfuls of ONR. I can pickup Gold Class locally at a number of stores and it has always worked well for me so I have wandered far from it. I do occasionally use Reset. Poorboy`s and Hyperwash will be next on the list.
Experiences differ. I had the opposite from Gold Class: it didn`t clean well and it lacked lubricity. It`s too bad because I can use a good locally available wash. Can`t get Duragloss locally any more afaik
