Today the weather finally let me wash my car, after a few days of rain it was a much need processes. I decided to crack the bottle of Victoria soap and give it a shot. I also promised a review so here it is.
Review subject: Victoria Wax Super Soap
Color: It is a goldish yellow color, very nice looks almost royal. I really liked it
Price: The bottle was $11.25 can for 8oz or $1.40 an oz. It is very expensive for a soap.
Texture: This soap has a very smooth silky texture to it. It seamed very slick before I poured it into the bucket. It reminded me of a mix between California gold and Megs gold class soap. I again liked it, nothing amazing but nice
Smell: I’m not quite sure what the smell is, but it was very fruity it was probably the best smelling soap I have used thus far. I honestly think it was an amazing smell. Although I don’t normally care about the smell I think this one had to have mention. Its not a reason to make of break the review but I cant stress how much I liked it.
Directions on bottle: The directions were a little bit hazy, they said to use until you see bubbles, but I wasn’t sure what they meant. Things like how thick the lather should be and how many bubbles to I want. To solve this problem I asked my local supplier and he wasn’t much help. He said he just squirts some into a bucket and normally adds a little more to become satisfied
Use: I measured out 2 oz of soap and placed it on a wash mitt that was placed in the bucket. I chose 2oz because this is a boutique soap and I know from experience that most boutique soaps uses 2oz for a 5 gallon bucket. I then added water using my fire hose nozzle on the hose. The suds were amazing they filled more then ¾ of the bucket and this is in an area with hard water. I was very impressed. I personally thought it worked better then SSS or Adams (2 boutique I have tried)
Richness of suds: These suds seamed very very slick, they felt nice and smooth between the hands. Much like the feel of baby powder when it slides between your fingers. (no there was no solid to the soap). I could tell that these suds were going to do a nice job.
Use on car: When I got a nice full mitt of suds I started to wash my car (top down with 2 buckets) I could feel the mitt sliding over my paint. It was almost like there was a gap between the paint and the mitt, it was very nice to use.
Over all thoughts: I feel this was the best so I have used. It is very expensive for a soap IMO. However I defiantly think it was worth it. It is a must try for anyone serious about slick suds. I cannot guarantee that you will be happy with the products however I sure was. I will defiantly use it again on personally vehicles regardless of cost. I also know I will end but buying a 32oz bottle to save some money. This ranks as my number one soap right now.
Thank you for reading. I would appreciate any comments or questions. I hope I include everything and if I get any suggestions of additions or I remember something I will make sure to post and add-on post. Thank you
