If Optimum was a "pure" soap, I'd try it, but I don't think it is.

Autobright Magifoam
is by far my favorite for snow foam washes. Its ph neutral and the results are amazing! It comes from UK so its not cheap to get

Bilt Hamber Auto Foam is WAY more effective.

BH Auto-Foam is my by far favorite prewash foam. On a winter dirty car the BH Surfex HD is even more great at cleaning. Not the most foaming products but how they works as a prewash is very impresive. I have a domestic brand prewash foam that is near BH in cleaning ability. Sadly they also added glossenhancers that interfear with the higher hydrophobic LSP.

I have not been able to test it out yet but have the BH Auto-Wash. Wondering if the corrosive inhibitors is going to mess with the LSP. But if you would have a car with a lot of bare metall or a classic that you wash traditional. I think that corrosive inhibitors could be much worth it. Or if you have a lot of deep rock chips that's down to the metall. I plan on use it as a last step before rinsing on my undercarriage. The dilution of 1:2000 is crazy low dilution.

I have an other brand my eyes on as they are making interesting products. Car soap with lime scale remover which can be effective to coatings if you have a lot of lime scale. That's if dried a little by little can clogg your coating during a longer time. Some from a domestic detailing forum has used it on coated cars with great success. Also the prewashes and cleaners seems to be very effective. Many uses one of their prewash foams as touchless washing and get very good results from it. It's slightly acidic based product. The brand is Ma-fra from Italy and their line Laboscosmetica is for the coating vehicals. A lot of interesting products for sure. If Meguiars products had been more cost effective for me I would have test out more from them. But it's up in cost that Carpro and Gyeon is for you and often even more expensive. But I surely understand that you get Meguiars products in the US. Also the UK brands like BH and Angelwax is very low price for them in UK. So it's much about where you live and the prices they have on imported products.

Reset
Ultima
Gyeon Bathe

I wash both my cars just about every week so i have always gone through the cheap car wash soap i bought from local stores pretty quickly. Last year i bought two gallons of Hyper Wash and i don't think i am half way through the first gallon yet. That stuff goes a long way and works well. Definitely very economical.

Reset is my favorite, works great on coated cars. Optimum Car Wash is another consistent favorite, not as strong of a cleaner as reset, but still good suds and lubrication. Purchased recently Gyeon Bathe Essence, somewhat similar in lubricity as OCW, but not as good on the sudsing.

Will continue trying Essence and see where it lands for me.

I wasn't a fan of Bathe Essence. It's overall performance was quite underwhelming. It turned to almost yellow color and turned into a a firmer gel than when I first got it. Regular Bathe is better. Let us know how you like it.
