    Best car shampoo GO!

    Mother's California Gold (currently have but almost out) $9.99 for 64oz on Amazon

    Or

    Chemical Guys "wash & wax" which is $14.99 for a gallon.

    Never tried the Chemical Guy wash and wax but I have their other products.

    Do I stay w the Mother's or try out the Chemical Guys?

    Thoughts? ??

    I like Meguiars wash and wax shampoo. I recently switched to Adams car wash shampoo. The Adams shampoo really seems to bubble very nice, and it doesn't take that much to do the job.

    Re: Best car shampoo GO!

    I tried out Chemical Guys. Right now I have a gallon of Mr. Pink. A little goes a very long way. I use a capful for 4 gallons of water and it suds up well and has a pretty good smell. Most importantly, it works very well for me also. I have some CG Citrus Wash on it's way too so I can do some comparison/contrast soon.

    One thing to look at is dilution factors. If the directions say to use 1 oz for 1 gallon, you clearly don't get the same bang for your buck as 1 oz for 4-5 gallons. Something to consider...

    Bottom line, is it's all up to you.

    Poorboys Super Slick with Suds or Detailer's Power Wash.

    I've used Meg's Gold Class for years, but found I like the other two much better.

    Mothers Cali Gold is a very good shampoo. I have owned the CG Wash & Wax--wasn't the best. That is mostly because I don't like Wash & Wax shampoos, they don't clean as well as the pure shampoos.

    Best cleaning shampoos I've used are Duragloss 901 and Optimum Car Wash. CG's Mr. Pink is also very good, but less "sudsy" in the 2BM than the former 2.

    I've always used CG wash and gloss but it separates too much and, at least for me, didn't seem to ever suds right.

    With the recent BOGO on Citrus Wash Clear, I got two gallons of that. After the first few washes with it, I already love it. It suds up like crazy, it has a ton of lubricity, smells great, has LSP safe dilution along with a stripping dilution, and cleans extremely well.

    Wolfgang auto bathe was nice also.

    I think I'm gonna try to hold off until black Friday to get the best deal possible. I do like the Mother's stuff but I'd like to try something new...the citrus wash from chemical guys seems like it would fit the bill.
