Best wash soap for harder water?

[Icarus]

Any suggestions for a good soap to wash my car regularly? I've been using microfibre mitts, and Meguiars Gold Class and Mothers Cali Gold wash soaps, but our water I think is on the harder side so it barely suds up at all no matter how much I use. I know with a mitt you don't want tons of suds, but its like nothing at all

Been looking into a garden hose filtration system, but not bought one yet and probably won't till the the summer or later...

Thanks for the help!
Happy New Year everyone!

Best advice I have is use a quality shampoo of your liking and add an ounce or two of Optimun no rinse to your wash bucket. That will counter any hard water issues.

Watching this thread. I also have hard water but I'm more concerned about water spots than suds. CR spotless isn't really an option.

Optimum No Rinse...commonly called ONR! I also have hard water and I use a cap full when I two bucket wash, works great...and it's very reasonably priced.

ONR up here is like $54+ a gallon :/

Any rinseless/waterless wash concentrate should suffice. They all contain water softeners.

ONR will kill suds of your traditional car soap.
Meguiar's NXT Car Wash is good option since it contain water softeners. Here's a line from its product description

"Engineered water softener helps reduce deposits in hard water, leaving behind a spot-free finish."

USA has not had NXT car wash for a long time now. A shame, too. Great soap, NXT is my favorite smelling detail line to date. Wish they had an air freshener.

I've never seen the Meg's NXT either
Sucks being up here at times, lol...

From Mckee’s sight but available on AG. Believe The almighty Ronkh (RIP) tried it with good success.
