Costco brought out a pallet of Megs Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner this week. It was in a 4.73 liter bottle (that's 5 quarts), for the amazingly low price of $7.89. This is the first time I've seen it in that big a bottle, and I have to believe that's a pretty good deal.:lmfao

Eddie how do you like the gold class soap. anything comparable?
 
I have used the Meguiars GC soap and it is a good product. They may be getting rid of old stock due to Meg's new labeling on their GC and NXT line.

The NXT soap is much better if you have hard water. It helps with the water spots, but I think the GC gives more suds for the wash.

Probably lots comparable, and some better. But at that price I had to jump.

I "juice it" with Poorboys APC, and use it mostly through a pressure washer to wash emeron finishes on 10 wheel trucks. Works like a charm.

Right now i use the NXT and PBs SS&S, Beleive it or not i've been using the kit soap for the winter. i had left over from someone else and it provides some good suds and staying power. I used 4 OZs undiluted Kit soap with the FG and that also provided quit a bit of sudsing action.I use to keep from using up my better soaps too soon.

I did buy the whole pallet, and before anyone calls me greedy, I'll tell you why. I live and do commercial detailing and fleet washing in SoCal, and I do this work year round. Costco for some strange reason stocks this stuff at these great prices, but pulls it off the shelf in mid to late August, and it doesn't reappear until early Spring. It's some kind of marketing ploy of Costcos, but I think it's pretty weird to pull a car wash soap off the shelf in a state that has little or no winter.

They had a full pallet in its place today. :)

Excellent idea :thanks I'll bet that little potion really cuts through some tough grime quickly and easily. I've recently read where Steve added Bug Squash to his foam gun solution, which gave the idea to try adding a couple of ounces to my wash bucket for tough jobs. I don't know what impact that would have. Just how much "juice" do you add? Or would you have to kill me? LOL

I mix it heavy. One Gallon APC
One Gallon GC
13 Gallons SOFTENED Water

It's injected at 18-20 ounces per minute through a cat pump that pushes 5 gpm, at anywhere from 1500 to 3500 psi (depending on what I'm washing).

Good soaps are very important, but soft water is key. :)
