Basic 2BW Shampoo Recommendations

Huh, I find the Griot`s lubricity to be very good, but yeah adding the 3D *did* improve the cleaning power. Neither one of them seems to affect my LSPs to a significant degree.

dschribs- If you like the Optimum, and find it slicker (hmm...got my attention there), don`t go back trying the Griot`s just because *I* like it! I might oughta try the Optimum some time.
 
I really like carpro reset because of the good lubrication and feeling when you wash and it cleaning well. Carchem luxury schampo is great also.
 
Accumulator . When was the the most recent ~jug~ you got or are you working off old stock.

Either I got a bad jug, but it`s not as lubricious as the older ones. As the viscosity is slightly different for sure - aka, when refilling smaller bottle from a 1 gal, for sure it flows faster where`as my older jugs was like pouring honey if ya know what I mean...

Yeah, I`d wondered if they changed it when they changed the name.

IIRC I got mine maybe late `16, probably during a Holiday sale. I hadn`t noticed any diffs from the earlier batches, but I gotta admit I wasn`t looking for `em either. It *seems* to pump out the same from a very casual observer`s perspective.

The one thing I *have* noticed is that my pre-mixed concentrate (GG:3D combo) sometimes gets, uhm...floating blobs of viscous [stuff] if I let it sit around too long. Like something gelatinous separates out. Shake shake shake, all seems fine and vehicles wash up just the same as always (including wheels/undercarriages/etc.), not like it clogs the foamguns or anything like that. But I`m not thrilled with that aspect of it and I *assume* the GG is causing it.

Heh heh, I`m not being a big GG defender on this; would be fine switching to something else that`s (at least) as good, especially if the cost is lower (I can use a *LOT* of shampoo). Got many gallons to go through before I`ll need something, but don`t mind thinking about it well in advance.

The 3D pink presumably lacks, uhm....something...that`s in the GG. More of a "straight-up, squeaky clean" shampoo but adding the GG contributes something(s) and whatever that is, I like it. (But then again, I don`t like that gelatinous [stuff].)
 
Accumulator. I highly recommend just trying Reset once, if you have not B)
In all fairness, you might hate it ? Tons of Pink fans, never has worked well for me.

GG was my gold standard for lubricity. Reset is just as lubricious and cleans even better.....
 
I have been around the block

Start PB super slick and suds, ultima, luso, GWash, optimum, glisante, bath, bathe plus, and I`m back to Poorboys super slick and suds. I should never have left.

Let can spend more money but not get a better straight wash. I mix heavy bc I feel is reduces wash induced marring at this price point it`s still economical.
 
I like Duragloss but haven’t done a conventional wash in forever. No hose access in my apartment, so all 2 bucket no rinse washes for me,
 
I will add, 3D Pink soap and PB slick & suds are standouts also. I wash weekly, so HW wins because of it`s dilution ratio. One ounce in the bucket and same in the foam gun. And I find it to be a very good product.

Ah, that`s a pretty strong recommendation!

I thought that Reset was primarily for coated vehicles...I do insist on my shampoos not degrading my (conventional) LSPs. Is it cheap?

I`m still using maybe 6 oz in my Wash Buckets and 7 oz per gallon of concentrate for the foamgun (I use a few gallons of concentrate each wash).

Heh, I knew those 2 questions would come up.....
All my cars are coated, so I can`t say for sure what effects it has on non coated vehicles, granted, the Manuf. is a *coatings* based manuf.

As far as cost per oz, it`s cheap enough for me, but then again, I generally don`t do the whole foam as I mitt technique.
Only 1 1/2 oz per bucket, lubricity and cleanliness is by far top shelf. I would say the only cost if one is running a Excel sheet and looking at cost per oz, it may not be considered cheap, but then again, the admission is well worth the price.

But again, pink has never fared well for me, so what works for one may not work for the latter
 
mobiledynamics- Thanks for that info, I`ll be interested to hear what others think of it on conventional LSPs and how it works in foamguns.
