Default Washing the car? Which Carwash do you use?

Topic says it all. I have used Griots Car Wash and Meguiars Gold Class and like the results. I am looking for something new to try! :cheers:

I like Pinnacles but the price is high :mad and find it similar to Griot's , 3M, and P21S. Look over at http://www.autogeek.net for some ideas and use coupon code "corvetteforum" to save 10% off.

I do not like Detailers Pride, seem to strip the wax off quickly.

I really like the Pinnacle wash too, but it is too expensive for my tastes. Zaino wash is good, and I even like Turtle Wax Zip Wash.

I like Tuttle Zip also, it gets very sudsy which holds the particles in suspension, the Meguiars Gold doesn't suds up enough for me.

Griot's stuff is great. But does not compare to the Zanio touch.
And thats a fact.

Z7 is the Zaino car wash. I would go the whole route, Zaino, and be done with it.

I have been using Eagle One, but I just picked up a bottle of the Pinnacle, so I will try that next.

Pinnnacle's wash is much, much, much better than Eagle One's wash. :yesnod: I was disappointed with Eagle One wash.

I use Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo. Get the gallon jug, with our discount it breaks down to less then $8.00 for a 16oz bottle.

Where I live we have hard water I use rain X self dry. They say you don't have to dry the car just let it air dry but I blow it dry just don't have to hurry or worry about water spots. It may not suds like some but since I wash my car everytime I drive it not anything but a liitle dust on it anyway. $ 3.99 a bottle
