What are your thoughts on mixing wash gels? I was going to use Pinnacle wash gel in the bucket while using Megs GC in the foam gun (since the foam gun sucks up gel a lot faster)

pros and cons?

I don't see anything negative about it :). THe foam gun really likes to eat the gel? Do you put water AND the wash gel in the resovior?

the only thing I personally would watch is compatibility when it comes to washes for sealants, and washes for carnaubas. One might be stronger than another, and if mixed could strip some wax. Doubt it would dent a sealant, allow if the polymer additive was in car wash it might not work properly with wrong product also.

How would you know if the products were incompatible?

For the washes, I own:
P21 body wash
Pinnacle Shampoo
Megs Gold class (Im trying to stick to this one if it works well since its so cheap.)

i use the Poorboys ss&s in the bucket, and DP in the FoamGun, works great.

How is the P21s body wash?

P21S wash is not all that special. I would choose Duragloss, Poorboys, even NtS7 over it. Pinnacles wash is perfect for carnaubas specifically.

one offers wax protection also (limited version). Just stick with the original suds, it is always considered a top 5 product for washing.
