Default Car Wash Soap

What are you all using out there for car wash soap? Any favorites? I've used the Zaino product. A bit over-priced IMHO.

Eagle 1 was on sale at Sams. The soap isn't as important to me as the polish - Dish soap is a nono unless you want to remove the polish/wax.

When I use soap I use Zaino Z7, but most of the time I just use plain water.

I use Meguiar's Deep Crystal car wash. It says it preserves wax protection, and indeed it has so far. It doesn't prevent water spots, however.

Auto Zone sells Turtle Wax Ice car wash for $10/ bottle which claims to prevent water spots.

If Ice really does eliminate water spots It will be a runaway best seller! Has anyone tried it?
