Car shampoo comparison..need opinions

Would using more optimum car wash, say 1 oz per gallon shorten the life span of waxes or sealants?

Dr G. had said no.

You are just getting more cleaning power (able to break down more soiling) but not cleaning aggressiveness (stripping waxes).
 
Has anyone used BOTH Citrus Wash and Clear and the regular Citrus Wash that DI carries? They don't say anything about using Citrus Wash as a maintenance soap, so is it just a more concentrated version of CW&C?
 
Now that is a amazing chart there jlineman, you have done your homework so sure.
That IS an amazing chart, BUT...maximus 20895 is the person that posted it. You can back up to page 1 on this forum and find it. I printed it off for reference. He really should contact Consumers Report as someone suggested but they probably won't use it because they didn't develop it...BUt all of on the forum can and Thanks for it! :yay
 
There seems to be some confusion about CG soaps.

Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss is a concentrated washing solution designed to help you clean the paint safely and add more shine to the surface. Mix one half ounce of the solution with 1 - 2 gallons of water when you want to wash your vehicle and not strip off the current layer of protection. If you want to use as a paintwork cleanser to strip off the current layer of protection mix 2 ounces with one gallon of water.

Chemical Guys Citrus Wash is an extremely concentrated paintwork cleaning shampoo. The citrus based cleaning agents are extremely gentle and safe to use on your vehicle's entire exterior. Just add one ounce per gallon of water to create a paint safe shampoo formula that can remove the old sealant and wax on your paint.

The Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Clear is one of the safest products you can use to strip off the protection (i.e. sealant, wax) from your paint. When used in the concentrated form (2oz per gallon of water) it is a paintwork cleanser that helps clean and prep your paint so you can get the most out of your detail. This process is essential for best results before beginning a full detail. You can further dilute (.5 ounces per gallon of water) the Citrus Wash and Clear so it will not strip off the protection. (Maintenance Wash)

I use Citrus Wash & Gloss as a maintenance soap and Citrus Wash & Clear as a stripping solution.
 
i though maxi suds was 1oz/1gal and glossworkz 1oz/4-5gals
That is my recollection on Glosswerks. IME it is an excellent maintenance wash but if you want foam pass on it. If you want another try Majestic Solutions. Shipping is the same if you buy one gallon or 10.
