So What Shampoo Do You Folks Wash With ?

I've tried a few out, decidedly underwhelmed with P21s & the Megs stuff. Poorboys Super Slick & Suds is pretty impressive but I found it left my paint looking a bit washed out. I'm currently using Pinnacle which lathers up nicely & leaves my paint looking very rich & glossy.
 
Pb's sss, gentle, good lubricity, and i think it finishes to a nice clean yet reflective (even w/o wax) surface.
 
Right now I have a few, Meg's NXT, Tropi-Care, FK1 118. I have a few other's, have not gotten to yet.
 
Frankly I buy whatever is on sale. Maybe I'm uninformed but I've never seen much difference, if any, among car wash soaps regardless of price.
 
I on the other hand find that using the right shampoo makes a *huge* difference, especially with regard to wash-induced marring and the shampoo's effect on my LSP.



Griot's Car Wash for me, with Meg's #62 and #00 as my second and third choices.
 
I agree with Accumulator...the Quality does matter....to me the lubricity is what counts...I want a shampoo that feels like oil on the paint....also one that is gentle to LSP....to me NXT is harsh



I use Groit's and Duragloss ..both have superb qualities..slick...gentle but good cleaner...rinses very clean...

These days I use:



1) Duragloss 901 - Excellent lubricity and long-lasting suds

2) Poorboy's SS&S - Excellent lubricity and gentle on LSP's but gallon cost can be many times more than other competing shampoos (~$40 USD)

3) Meguiar's Gold Class - Above average lubricity and very free-rinsing. Unmatched value when purchased by the gallon (under $8 USD)
 
Megs Gold Class. Excellent lubricity, lasting suds and easy rinsing. Very gentle but effective cleansing.
 
Meguiars gold class for me. I find that eagle one wash soap leaves a better shine, but the gold class just makes the car look rich. Also tried rainx soap, mothers', poorboy's SSS, NXT and turtle wax platinum, but the gold class just takes the cake for me.
