Review & How-To: Meguiar`s Car Wash Plus

Update from Meguiar`s:

Nick Winn said:
Yes, one application of our Car Wash Plus+, because of it`s cleaning ability, will degrade a good amount of, for example, a polymer based wax like our Ultimate Wax. It is recommended to re-apply your favorite coat of wax after use.

I don`t know why Megs simply didn`t release a LSP removing wash a long time ago instead of going about it this way

I think this is better, honestly. No other "stripping wash" really does the job, IMO. Haven`t tried them all of course, but I`ve never heard enough glowing reviews on one that I had to pick it up. I hate how hard it is to rinse, for example, Citrus Wash and Gloss. Just feels sticky/slimy when I`m using it at the recommended ratio for stripping LSP as well.

I ordered up a bottle of this Megs stuff to try because it`s just such a foreign concept to me that I have to see what it`s about. It might be a nice little product for doing deep cleans on cars you plan on polishing. I think it`s marketed strangely, for sure, but look at something like D114 - people ended up using it as a panel wipe product. Now when you look at N-914 there are instructions on using it as a paint prep product right off the bat. We have a tendency to find good/multiple uses for products.
 
Too bad they dropped it. I used this Saturday on my spring detail as a pre wash before applying Blackfire Si02 spray sealant. I for one love the product.
 
Sorry to see this from Meguiar`s. This seems to a be the modus operanda for good car-care detailing products they develop, but find a "limited market appeal" (AKA, sub-standard profit margin based on volume of sales). I think there were (past tense) two products in the Detailer Line that are no longer available, but were (again past tense) Forum Favorites of many of you Autopians; D113 APC+ (less foaming for use with carpet extractors) and D114 Rinseless Wash Express. I see that even the "new" D107 Citrus Power degreaser is only offered on Meg`s website, as some re-sellers have dropped it.
