Default Suds

I have been using Zaino for over a year now and I'm very satisfied with the results. I only wish that Z7 had more suds. I know suds doesn't wash the car any better but I like to see them. Any other washes out there that produces more suds?

I really like my Z7, however An excellent alternative is Duragloss. Try it - you can get it in a ONE GALLON jug, so you don't have to be stingy when using it

Suds suspend dirt. Menzerna Car Wash has been the sudsiest (?) wash product that I have ever used.....everytime you spray water into the bucket you get fresh new suds.

I find that Z7 has an ample amount of suds. If you decide to use another brand of car wash be sure that it doesn't contain a wax in it. A lot of car wash products advertise that they contain wax for a quick "wash and wax" in one easy step. Since Zaino bonds best to bare paint or itself, if you use a wash/wax product, your durability may suffer.

If a soap isn't foaming it usually means that the elements in hard water ( calcium, magnesium, iron and other trace elements) are being concentrated on, therefore more soap is needed to conteract this.

Z7 makes lots of suds in my opinion. Put one or two capfulls in your bucket and spray your water in hard on top of the Z7. I almost get too much this way.
