Just finished a wash of a few cars with 3 diff washes, each car was washed in 3 parts, hood/front, top/doors, trunk/rear-end. A separate WW towel was used for each product
PB's Slick wash (or whatever name you arrive for it)
NXT Wash
Sonus Gloss Concentrated Shampoo
The NXT is a very thick wash, with the PB's being next, the Sonus is the thinnest. Using equal amounts of product in a bucket the PB's created the most suds, the Sonus looked almost to thin of a mixture to wash a car, but we proceeded to test each product ounce for ounce.
Washing the cars showed that the PB's seemed to glide over the surface of the car, the NXT looked to have stronger cleansers and the Sonus looked very watery (no suds on the surface), but slid over the surface much like the PB's.
All 3 products cleaned up the vehicles very well, all cars were all in pretty decent condition, all had at least 1 coat of a carnauba wax on them for no more than 1 week.
When dry it was consistent with all 3 cars that the PB's side felt slicker, followed closely by the Sonus. The NXT dried surface was clearly the least slickest, we all felt that a fair amount of the wax was removed from the cars by the NXT wash.
Bottom Line:
For very little product the PB's wash had good sudsing action, cleaned well kept cars and left a nice slick finish when dried. A very nice product, and my choice going forward.
The Sonus would be next in line of preference but only with using more product to get more suds, washing a car with no suds seems wrong, but we were comparing equal amounts and the label of the Sonus does say concentrated.
The NXT seemed to be better suited for a very dirty/grimy surface, where you did not care if any wax or sealer was removed during the wash.
Good thing a little PB's goes a long way, I have to make my sample last till the real stuff hits the streets !!
