What conventional wash soap do you all prefer?



I had been using meguiars soft wash gel and like it, but the suds dissapear too quickly



I tried meguiars GC and LOVED it, but as of late have been having a hard time finding more. I was going to order it off one of the sites I use but figured I would get some other insites to one of the most basic things we use. So, whats your favorite?
 
I just recently tried out a few soaps...my current favorite is the new NXT soap. I like it alot...my current all around favorite. I DID really like the Wolfgang sample that came in the evaluation kits...but it just doesn't seem practical for the kind of money they're asking. Sonax was nice, too...but harder to find than NXT. I tend to use products that are easy for me to actually get my hands on...local. I'm not interested in paying $50 a gallon for soap..and another $9.95 in shipping.......just not for me. The NXT works very well..smells good....medium amount of suds...but..it has alot of lubricants..and it rinses off nicely....and it's under $6 at Wa*&rt or Tar$%t
 
I have been able to get the Mequiars GC Wash at our local Target for $9.99 Gallon, great stuff :up Heard some others talk about Sonax (sp?) wash and hear it is good also? Not sure and don't even know where you can get it at?

Yeah Target should have GC. I'd give the slight edge to NXT wash over the GC wash though. My favorite- 1Z Perls w/ some Pinnacle mixed in.
 
NXT Tech Wash is my top pick.



I've tried Mother's Gold, Turtle Wax Wash, and Ibiz Car Shampoo.



NXT just seems to have them all in lubricity, sheeting action, cleaning action, smell, suds, and adds shine too!
 
can't find the NXT wash here for some reason. I've been using the cheap Meguiars Deep Crystal and it seems to do a good job.
 
Tried that deep crystal but didnt like it. The lubricity didnt feel great and it streaked really bad for some reason. I picked up some NXT wash today. :xyxthumbs
 
I have a question about NXT car wash...does it add any wax or items that we may not want in a pure soap solution?



For example, I use P21S on my car and I would not want ideally any wax or other enhancers in the soap....



If not, I definitely will give it a try.
 
Zaino Z6 is the best car shampoo I've ever used.



Duragloss 901 is my sleeper fave.



Eagle One WET shampoo is an excellent store bought product.



Ya can't go wrong with any of the above, IMO.

Z6, huh? Amazing! :D



I'm going to need to buy some Z6 and Z7.
 
My Einszett Pearz arrived today and will try it out Saturday morning. Have used EO, Pinnacle & Mothers to this point, with Pinnacle having a slight lead over EO. Will keep everyone posted of my HO
