Your fav start over shampoo

[jeepngli]

My wife's dirty car is really bugging my OCD towards clean cars. She keeps saying she is gunna wash it but it's not happening.

Anyway, it's a newer white Jeep Cherokee. It's gunna need some elbow grease to get all the bugs and crap off it but I'm up for it. Normally I would use CG Citrus wash but I don't think that actually works that well on very dirty cars.

So what do you guys use for soap when someone brings in a newer car that needs a good washing? I will be using two different buckets for this one than I use on my car 😉

Once it's clean, I'll seal it with BFWD or Poorboys so it stays that way for awhile.

My favorite wash soap is Duragloss 901. A good soap for any wash.

Citrus Wash is amazing at 1oz per gallon. If you must 2 bucket and want another recommendation, CarPro Iron X soap would be mine.

just use a stronger dilution ratio of what you have for the initial wash. you can always add some apc to the wash as well, just make sure to rinse thoroughly and prep the paint properly before applying your lsp...

I've never had any issues with CWG and cleaning power. If you still need something stronger, just add some APC as has been mentioned above

IronX snow soap will strip lsp at higher dilution ratios and work on embedded iron particles too.

Thanks guys. Ill try using some more. I just assumed it wasn't really as strong as it says. I have their APC as well so maybe mix in a little of that. Since I'm placing an order, I'll look into the ironx as well. Thanks

I've heard that soap is pretty good.

If you want to go a little more aggressive at it...When you get to the bad areas, bottom half of the doors, front end, the back end, you could spray the area with your APC as you go. A bug sponge would help too, if you have one. Then clay what is left.

Do not pretreat those areas before the wash and let it dwell or it could dry and etch the paint. Also on painted plastics like bumpers and rocker covers, use a lighter dilution and spray the bottom and work up. Spraying APC and letting it run down dry paint under it will give you visable "run stains". More so on white painted plastics.

These "run stains"(I'm not sure what the proper term is) are probably etching, and are actually the reverse of a stain. You'll have a super white, or clean, runs on the paint surrounded by the embedded dirt that it did not touch as it ran down.

Interesting.

I love all CG's soaps. I use Mr pink on my mustang anytime I wash it due to its gentle natural. I like v7 hybrid shampoo for daily after waxing it. Glassworks is good but with the v7 one I don't really use it. snow foam smells awesome but Mr pink is my goto for maintanience washes.

Thanks guys

Just add and ounce of APC (Meguires) with your favorite shampoo and mix well.
