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 only use Zymol products, they make a whole line and all their stuff works great.

I found all the NTX products to work great!

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.

Another vote for Meguiar's Gold Class.

+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.

One more here.

I use the 2 bucket method of washing my truck (when I'm able to wash it!). I use Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo from autogeek.net. I bought a 64 oz. bottle of the stuff 2 years ago and I have over half of the bottle left. I'm sure that's because we are still under water restrictions here in Atlanta.

I also use one of their sheepskin wash mitts and microfiber and chamois to dry my truck.

I use Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant also from autogeek.net. I usually put on two coats and it'll last about 4 or 5 months. The truck looks good and water beads off the truck nicely. I'm of course being optimistic about rain here in Atlanta this year.

Seems that I am in good company for using Mequiar's Gold Class as well. I used it on my Lexus and now the T4R gets it. I've been very happy with all of the Mequiar's products that I have used.

I have an odd ball for the group. I hate Turtle Wax products, but man their Zip wax car wash is cheap and works amazing.

I did professional detailing for a few years and nothing could comapre to the Turle wax Zip Wax. I have probably used everything out there and this stuff still surprises me. Its very gentle, doesn't leave residue, and its cheap!
