I need a new job
Hey Everyone, quick question. I'm looking for a strong soap. I use SS&S on my car that stays very clean, but I need something with a little more bite for use on cars that are really dirty. Also looking for something with some degreasing capabilities to use as a good start for a full detail.
 
If you want a strong car wash soap Megs Gold Class can get out some pretty grimy stuff. For degreasing you'll want to use an APC (or bug squash) pre-soak before washing to get the really nasty stuff loose. If you want to strip wax you should clay and polish (things that you'd do anyway).
 
I know that I will get killed for saying this :bb: but dish soap for cutting as a one time process will do what you are looking to do. I've used it for certain applications, but not on any regular uses

Yup, what he said....Also Bug Squash is a great pre-wash for stripping if used 1:1 or Full strength :)
 
Sounds good. I think I'll stick with SS&S for regular maintenance and my GC for initial washes. Thanks to all of you

BTW- Bug squash is some great stuff
 
just add an ounce of dish soap to the mix. another idea would be to add an ounce of simple green. all in thinking u would be stripping the paint.
 
Make sure the APC is safe for painted surfaces.


Personally, I have mixed 4 oz of Costco's APC with 2 oz of car wash and 2 gals of water with pretty nice results. I have had better results, however, just using NXT Wash with a pre-soak of a bug-squash sort of product.
 
well simple green is safe on painted surfaces. on top of that u would be dilluting it 1:258 or something like that. i wasnt very good at math. lol...

it really gives the wash soap s super dose of strenght and allows u to break down dirt without having to grinf hard or do too much extra work.

4 weeks ago i had gotten some bad tar all over my car. some huge suc splaterred it every where including the roof. so instead of hitting every single spot with tar remover i just added sg to my regular mix and followed my paint with ocw after i dried it off.

but just to make u feel safe id get a hold of a friedlier apc like megs apc or kirkland (costco) apc as gsrstilez suggested.
