Favorite Soap
Thought this might be interesting. List your favorite car wash soap. I listed the top 3 from a detailing forum I go to, but feel free to chime in with your own.

I recently bought some Meguirs Gold Class and so far no complaints. It leaves the truck nice and shiney, even if I don't apply wax.

I'm using it, too. Seems to work quite well.
I've got some Zaino's that I plan to try after the Meguiar's is gone.

Yup, Megs here to. Doesn't remove wax but still gets the crap off.

I'm currently using Meguirs Gold Class as well. Works OK, but the last couple of times I still had dirty spots. Maybe I didn't use enough soap?
I guess I'm going to try Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo after I finish the Megs.

I use Nufinish about once or twice a year and I also use Gold Class about once a month, works great!

I use Meguiars also, but not their Gold Class or NXT series.. I have to look at the bottle again, but its almost gone. I'm not sure what I want to try next, I've used Gold Class before and I've liked it, and I like the stuff I'm using now. I may give NXT a try..

I used different ones, but now switched to Meguirs too. Great product!

I've tried most of the soaps mentioned in the posts above. But, I have to say the best soap by far is Griot's. I even have tried Menzerna ($$$) and Griot's is still the best. Gets things clean, continues to have suds, very slick, and smells good.

+1 for Griot's Car Wash. It's super slippery and smells like coconut oil. Next best thing is Griot's Speed Shine or Pinnacle Crystal Mist for in between washings.
