A couple of weeks ago my sister purchased a bottle of Armor All's Power Wash Gel from Wal-Mart. I thought nothing of it, as I am used to using EO's car wash soap. But this weekend I thought I'd give it a try.



Picture yourself washing your car with shampoo--literally. This stuff is thick like shampoo and you just squeeze a few drops on a wet surface and go at it. It lathers up very nicely and smells nice too. I felt like I was giving my car a bubble bath. :) And no buckets involved.



Using the gel wash would be ok as long as you follow up with a wax job, like I did. Just based on how concentrated this stuff is, I doubt any layer of wax would survive after washing with this soap, so make sure you have a jar of s100 handy.
 
Interesting.....I was in AutoZone yesterday, and saw the Armor All. Thought about it for a minute, but decided against it, even though I'm totally out of my Meg's Gold Class Car Wash right now.



I'd have to agree with you......I'm not sure that wax would survive a process like that. Did it do a good job cleaning your car?
 
I'd have to say yes. Washing it felt like washing your hair with shampoo: so nice and foamy and full of lather. Heh, but too much is no good.
 
LOL! It left the paint with extra volume.



I did apply some to the wash mit before using it on the paint. I doubt it would scratch the paint unless your car is really filthy and you didn't rinse it good enough.



Like I said, I wouldn't be using the stuff frequently.
 
I tried it once and will never use it again. If you don't rinse it off good enough, it will leave a haze on your finish.



Would only use it as a last resort.
