What are you guys using for car wash?

I've tried:

Megs Deep Crystal (ok for wheels)
Megs Gold Class (just ok)
Zaino (ok but not impressed for the $)
Duragloss (like this the best so far)

Anyone tried Griot's Brilliant Finish? Was thinking of giving it a shot but Duragloss is hard to top.

I personally use Gold Class.

Adam's Car Wash Shampoo will pamper your finish with its advance luxurious conditioning formula. Just as regular oil changes keep your car’s inner workings healthy, regular exterior cleaning keeps your vehicle’s paint, trim, wheels and glass healthy and beautiful. Adam’s has the solution to your routine exterior maintenance, and it all starts with Adam’s Car Wash Shampoo!

Road grime, acid rain, pollution, insects, pollen, tar, oil and other contamination all attach to the exterior of your vehicle and begin oxidizing and etching the surface of your car. If you leave the contamination too long, it will quickly deteriorate your car’s appearance. Likewise, if you use car wash products that are too strong or inferior quality, they will also damage your car’s delicate finishes.

When used with an Adam’s Professional Wash Pad and Adam's Microfiber Drying Towel, Adam’s Car Wash Shampoo gently cleans the exterior of your car without scratching or removing your wax protection. You and your car will both love the experience, because Adam’s Car Wash Shampoo make mounds of luxurious suds, it's easy on your skin, and it smells great

Worried about the environment? So are we! That’s why our car wash shampoo is 100% biodegradable and earth friendly. Plus, we made it super concentrated to reduce the carbon footprint on packaging. A pint of our product produces more car wash suds than a gallon of the leading national brands.

Safe, effective, earth friendly and economical car wash solutions, guaranteed! That’s Adam’s.



DON’T FORGET: Regular car washing is just one important maintenance routine. Twice a year your car’s exterior needs to be thoroughly cleaned with Adam’s Detail Clay to remove bonded contamination left behind by regular washing. Adam’s Detail Clay is the smart, easy and gentle way to deep clean and smooth your car’s paint.

There are many soaps, so often greater cleaning and others lighter. You also have some with glossing agents and even waxes built in. I still prefer a traditional soap for cleaning, one that cleans and leaves no residue. In no order ...

Duragloss, Griots, 1Z Einszett Exclusiv, Ultima, and Poorboys. I would put Optimum just behind the first 5. There are many good soaps and many price points ...

I'm with you, I don't want a soap with "wax" in it. I really like the feel Duragloss has when working with it and it suds up great, especially at the price point.

Thanks to all for the replies.

Soap performance can also depend on the condition of your water. If you have hard water like we do here in tampa you can add some ONR to the water with your favorite soap and the ONR will help condition the water

I do this now. To be honest I'm not sure I can tell much difference. This summer I'm going to do some testing with and without to see if I can tell for sure.

I do use Menzerna polishes for detailing cleaning/polishing and I love C-Magic detail spray
