Car shampoos/washes

[Rocket]

I`ve been doing a little reorganizing over the past month and I got to the cabinet that holds my car washes. I didn`t realize how many I had until I got into the cabinet. I normally buy car washes in gallon sizes but I had several that were smaller sizes.

Normally I keep a couple 16oz bottles in my bucket so I don`t get into the cabinet much. Right now I have Boackfire, PB, Ultima in my bucket. In my cabinet I found a gallon of DG 901, more Ultima, CG HoneyDew, DP Xtereme Foam, ShowroomFX car wash

I like using different car washes, I think its nice to use different products just to change things up. I have favorites that I continue to buy and others that I tried once and won`t buy again once I run out. Does anyone like to switch car washes or do you normally stick to what you like?

I was at a phase where I tried them all and had tons of shampoos. Now I have about 3 I really like. I do switch between those three as it is nice to use different shampoos to keep the wash process fun.

Can I ask what your favorite 3 are Jim? I have and have used quite a few different soaps. I am really liking Meg`s Hyperwash.

I think car washes and waxes are the only thing I really have a variety of. I stick to what I like on most everything else.

No.

I have a variety since they are inexpensive and you can use them regularly.

My favorite has been Optimum. It has a great smell, cleans well, inexpensive especially at 1/2 ounce per gallon, easy to acquire (everyone sells it), and generate lots of suds if you like suds. I am not sure it is the easiest rinsing but not a major issue,

I also like Do DO Born to be Mild and have CG Maxi Suds and Adams that I use. I also have some CG Citrus Wash and Gloss that I have used for stripping. Plus I have Mothers, Wolfgang, and Pinnacle.

Blackfire is very nice and would pick up more on a good sale. Ultima is also nice.

On the shelf to try: CG Honey Dew, Auto Finesse Lather, Wolf`s White Satin.

I have found the dilution has a lot to do with the experience. Mfg recommendations are often vague such as inaccurate capfuls or add soap and fill a bucket.

No.

My top washes are:

• Duragloss 901
• Meguiar`s Hyper Wash
• Ultima Paint Guard Wash
• DP Xtreme Foam Shampoo
• Chemical Guys Citrus Wash

I bet I could guess one or two of Jim`s favorites just from his older posts


I have a few favorites but there still others I hear great things about that I want to try. Several of the ones in my collection I got for free or at a huge discount so I figure it doesn`t hurt to keep buying when I find a good deal

Well since u asked Bobby.........


1: Auto Finesse Lather
2: Optimum
3: CG Citrus Wash and Gloss

I do agree with you guys about Meg`s Hyper Wash.... Very nice shampoo. Actually Bobby, you sent me a healthy sample a few months back and I have gone thru a gallon since.

Dodo BTBM is also awesome but the unavailibity of the 500ml bottles has turned me off of this shampoo.

BTW jk Troy!! Hehehe
