Are there any good OTC Car Wash Soaps?

[m4gician]

I ran out of my Poorboys wash, and was wondering what are the best Over The Counter soaps because I need a shampoo right now for a car that I'm doing and don't have time to wait for a new shipment. :(

[P1et]

YES YES YES! Head over to your nearest NAPA or Carquest store and pick up some DG 901!

As a matter of fact, get a gallon of it!!!

Meg's gold class?

[Surfer]

Duragloss 901 hands down, I use it more then my Poorboys SSS. But thats if you can find a Nappa or Carquest around you...otherwise AG carries it.

If neither are near, I'd say grab some Gold Class or NXT wash, either are a heck of a lot better then Eagle 1 and other otc crap.

blah duragloss not availalble at NAPA or Carquest in Canada. I'll have to use NXT or Gold Class.

If I'm not using waterless wash then I've been using NXT or GC.

NXT is pretty strong, I'd stick with Gold Class.

Gold Class since you can't find Duragloss! I've used it and like it. Haven't used NXT yet so I can't say anything about it.

A good wash thats over looked alot is the Mothers California Gold wash....Gentle to the Finish and cleans very good and leaves a nice finish...I prefer these over the Meg's....NXT to me is very harsh...good cleaner but harsh...GC is a nice wash....but it has some conditioning oils in it and after a few days the paint feels grabby..at least to me....

Also another good OTC wash Is the TW Patinum wash...very gentlle on the wax super slick while washing and leaves a nice finish....

tw platinum eh? Hrm, lol might have to rethink my boycott of their products.

Well if those are the ones that you recommend I'm just going to find the cheapest of the bunch.

I have whole gallon of that Turtle Wax Ice stuff that I had gotten from Costco a while back before I found this website and before I was "educated". Is that stuff garbage or what? I dont really want to throw it out, I have a hard time throwing things out.

[m4gician]

don't throw it out, sell it or give it to someone who wants to get started.

Just return it to Costco. They will take it back, even if it is used and you don't have the receipt.

What is so bad about Turtle wax Ice Wash? I thought it left a clean finish. does it mess up your top layer of wax?
