Best OTC wash soap

I've used a million over the years and the two best I've run across are the offerings from Griot's and Duragloss and according to Acc., both available OTC, sort of.
 
Would it make more sense then to buy a 5 gallon bucket of Duragloss 901 for 72 dollars ? I mean it wont go bad after 2-3 years correct ?
 
No, but that's a lot of soap! Wouldn't you rather demo it first before making the big commitment? You could even go over to Burlington and visit them, Silver.
 
While 5 gallons of shampoo wouldn't last *me* all that long (and I'm no Pro, only doing my vehicles and only when they really need washing..), I wouldn't hesitate to buy that much *once you're certain that you like it*. Buy a smaller size and see what you think.

I have shampoos that are many years old (not just a decade) and they're fine. I've never had a shampoo go bad as long as the container stayed shut, even when there was a *LOT* of air space with only a little product.
 
Is there only one type of Duragloss car wash? I was out of soap and ran all around town looking for it after reading stellar reviews about it. I was looking for the small 16oz bottle but a shop I stumbled across only had the 1-gallon jug for $12.50 so I bought that. I presumed it would have been a lot more expensive based on prices I saw on the net so I wasn't sure if I bought the right one...
 
I'm not sure what you bought but it might not be Duragloss.
The 901 is the 16 oz bottle. 903 is the 64 oz. bottle and the 902 is the 128 oz. bottle. The product numbers may be based on popularity rather than volume.
Then there's the very seldom sold 904 which is a large swimming pool size of shampoo. Hard to store in the garage.

The gallon, product 902, is listed on the Duragloss site for around 30 bucks so I'm not sure what you bought. Is there a product number on the container?

In answer to your question, the shampoo with the 900 series of product numbers is the same shampoo.

So what stores are you guys finding this DG 901/902 at? I've been using gold class since Costco carries it but everyone seems to like the dura gloss a bit better. I just used the last of the Meg's tonight so ill need more shampoo soon

Some CARQUEST still carry it, fishers autoparts, and NAPA.

Duragloss 901 is still found at NAPA (CARQUEST's parent company has been purchased by Advance Auto and they are closing locations) and IMHO is probably the King of the mountain. Another soap that I haven't seen anyone talk about is Meguiars DUB Tropical Red Car Wash. It's excellent for OTC; rinses clean, leaves nothing behind, and has no gloss enhancers. Youtube's Acc0rd79 rates Eagle One's Nano Wax As-U-Wash as very good as well, although I haven't tried. Gold Class & Mothers Cali Gold always get good reviews as well.
 
I just got a gallon of CG mr pink, but haven't tried it yet. I'll have to try the dg 901 next time, since most speak so highly of it. Though I really want to try a rinseless wash, too. I had Meg's gold class and it seemed to do a good enough job.
 
I wonder if the PBE (Paint / body shops) carry Meg's Hyper Wash. I went to a local one and they carried a lot of the Meg's polishes but was not looking for soaps. They can be about as prevalent as a CarQuest.
 
Bunky- My local autobody/paint supply places will order stuff from the manufacturers they stock. Don't think I've seen the HyperWash on the shelf though.
