boutique shampoo/wash with hard water?

I would like to try a "boutique" shampoo/wash, but we have very hard water here. I've previously used meg's GC, and was thinking about trying out the NXT (I read somewhere it'll soften up the water), but just for laughs, thought I'd use something not OTC.



Thank you,

Jed
 
I have tried every over the counter shampoo as well as the sonus, DP and others I can't thik off off the top of my head and have settled for Prima Mystique. It's the only shampoo that leaves my LSP feeling untouched. I have found that other shampoos foam much better out of my foam gun but none other that works as well overall. A close 2nd would actually be the duragloss 901, but is actually more expensive by the gallon.



My 2 pennies worth.
 
Fk1 118sc car wash is great for hard water and cleans extremly well, leaves no water spots in my experience but the nxt is a great car wash too.
 
I've had really good luck with Duragloss #901. Nice suds and good slickness in hard water. Works great in a foam gun too...
 
Hmm.. I bet I'm going to get a variety of soaps here :) I tried a search for "hard water wash" and majority of results yielded removal of hard water stains in the brag forum.



One can get duragloss at carquest, from what I've read.. I will drive there tomorrow to check. Would be easier and quicker than waiting for an internet order.



FYI, I do not have a foam gun, looking for basic applications here... I'm one step below "enthusiast", typical guy that just got his #2 dream car and wants to have a shot at trying to baby it. :p
 
Concentrate on your technique then, and dont wash in the sun. NXT works pretty good with this toxic water here in florida.
 
I think you will like duragloss than. It has almost zero streaking. I find myself constantly wetting the car with anything else on 80+ degree temps.
 
another vote for duragloss... :up
