I purchased this sometime last year and forgot all about it. A drought will do that. The other day I decided to put to use as I was digging through my cabinet.

3D HD Wash
Product description
Comes in a nice bottle like all HD products. It does come with the red stopper like all of their products that I have used. It does not have a flip top which would be nice. Simply unscrew the cap and pour.
Product description also on the bottle.
It does have a nice dilution ratio. 1 oz per 3 oz's of water.
I filled my bucket with 2 gallons of water. Put 1 oz of soap into it and blasted it with a jet of water. Which was around 3 gallons of water total. It created some nice suds that lasted the entire wash.
I also decided to put 2 oz's of HD wash into my Adams foam gun to see how well it foams. I actually placed the Autopia and Blackfire stickers onto the foam gun instead of the Adams sticker.
I foamed up my mom's Regal which currently has PBL V2. PBL V2 is holding up just fine after 4 months. HD Wash actually foamed up nicely.
I also used it on my dad's car that same weekend. I had enough foam left in the gun and still had plenty of soap to wash his. I reactivated the soap with a blast of water. Here's an after shot as I was putting my equipment away. HD Wash left a nice shine and a little bit of slickness.
Final thoughts:
I typically don't use car shampoo's that leave anything behind. But I was impressed with HD Wash. It has good lubricity. Produced some nice suds that lasted the entire wash. It's about as thick as Meguiar's Hyper Wash. It's not as thick as Optimum Car Wash or Adams Car Shampoo (which is the thickest I have used). I did not have any issues rinsing off the soap from the surface. It's dilution ratio is on par with these soaps which is a good thing.
I actually would not mind having it pink rather than blue to go with the color of the HD Wash logo on the bottle and to go with the other pink soaps in the 3D HD line.
It did leave a nice and glossy finish. It was a dusty week here (Santa Ana winds + pollen) after I had washed them and I noticed the car's stayed cleaner longer. I enjoyed using it and would recommend it to those shine freaks that want that little extra gloss boost.

Thanks for the review! I'll have to try it out once I finish my gallon of 3D Pink Car Soap.
