You'll have to absolutely try this auto soap. Not only does it clean like nothing else I've used but it doesn't leave the paint dull and dry. Instead you'll get a hydrated and moisturized looking finish. My new favorite product of the year!!!
 
Its a good soap - no question there....However, be aware that "something" in it temporarily kills beading.

My guess its the "n gloss" portion, since it shares this characteristic with V7. For this reason, I only use it prior to polishing a car or adding another layer of LSP.

This is one of those tidbits of wisdom I've learned over the years...A few years ago CWnG was tops for me. But, after using various products for a while you start to pay a attention to details like this.
 
 it's an okay soap but it's kinda harsh and i don't trust it at all for maintenance washes (even at at the 1 ounce to 5 gallons of water). i remember many years ago i got it on my hands and felt a stinging/burning sensation and that's not a good thing. plenty of other soaps out there that i prefer over this...
 
I just use this on wheels...a stripping soap that leaves gloss...why? It separates as well and as BigAl3 there are so many other soaps. 
 
My favorite foam gun soap, especially for neglected cars.  I find that neglected paint is a smidge easier to polish after this wash and does a good job at starting to decontaminate a car.  I like it for 2-bucket washes where I'm not using a specific product brand sealant/rinselss for maintenance like colinite as you can adjust concentration amount to your liking.
 
My favorite is this shampoo minus the gloss - it is called Citrus Clear.  It is safe for even a daily or weekly maintenance wash but they say it will strip LSP if you want it to by increasing the amount of soap in the soap to water ratio.  It is also great in a foam gun.  That sort of covers it all and you don't have to worry about it leaving anything behind on the paint.  It cleans really well too.  If there is one problem it is that it could be a little slicker but its okay.  I always use a spray "wax" of some sort as a drying aid and I feel like I am defeating the purpose by using a soap with gloss enhancers built in.  You can pick it up on sale quite often and it comes in gallon jugs making it even more of a bargain.
