Ferrari 599 Correction Detail

Cannot decide, going in ciircles choosing a soap. I did a search and read a ton. What do you guys thik of 00 Hi tech wash compared to GC?
 
I switch back and forth between the two. The Gold Class creates more suds than the #00 Hi-Tech. The #00 seems to dissolve more easily in the water bucket, while the Gold Class needs to be agitated for best results.



Both are good quality car washes. I think Gold Class is a better value, especially if you have a local Target store ($10 for a gallon).



Just my 2 cents.
 
I used the soft gel wash before too and it is a bad product.

I also used Eagle one soap long time ago and liked it. But now I use Z7:xyxthumbs
 
Gold Class is my favorite over-the-counter soap. I find myself using EF Power Wash a lot though due to its stronger detergents, which work better in my sap environment.
 
Anyone used Turtle Wax's concentrated car wash? I was wondering how it performed compared to the GC.

Just a question, How are you guys testing the performance of soap? I find it very hard to judge. The only thing I can tell a difference in is the amount of suds they produce. I can't tell if one cleans better than the other.
 
Recently completed job, this "New" to my client vehicle came from the Chicago area. The interior of this beautiful Ferrari was in great shape, however the exterior had the usual "Black car issues" with deep RIDS, sand scratches and hologram buffer trails.

After a thorough wash/decon the vehicle correction commenced, brought Tony Ito in who worked with me as our detailer at my shop I used to be a GM at(Performance Art) as my schedule is filled up nicely.

Tony backed his "Transit Connect Van into the shop as he likes to use "His gear" to work with lol.

World-Class results for an equally awesome car and color !
You guys absolutely hit it out of the park on this one - the pics are stunning to see and I am sure in real life, the car was one-of-a-kind blinding out there.

Thanks for all the hard, detailed, perfect work you do, and then the time taken to share it with us!
