Meguiar's NXT car wash worth replacing?

**Texas Dave** · 11-06-2008, 10:07 PM

I have an almost full 64oz bottle of this. I'm wondering, how is it compared to products like Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo, Wolfgang Auto Bathe, or DP Auto Bath Shampoo?

Is it worth giving the meguiar's to a friend and ordering some of the better stuff? If so.. which? They all seem to get excellent reviews. I like the proportioner that DP makes for their bottle, will it work on any of the other products?

I'll be washing with dawn this weekend, then claying, polishing, and appying Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. If that'll make any difference on which shampoo to use afterwards.

Thanks for any advice!

Its not bad stuff, but the ones you mentioned are better in my opinion

megs is good but my personal favorite is duragloss 901, fantastic stuff with a great price.

you can get 901 over the counter in my area in a few different locations. Thats what makes it a plus for me.

Well heck, at $5 I'll give 901 a try first.

Thanks guys.

I agree with everyone the other shampoos you name are very nice offerings. My only other advice would be to save the Dawn for the dishes... No need to use something so harsh on your ride. The clay/polish will remove the old wax for you with no issues.

I always like to keep some Meguiar's NXT around to wash cars that are going to get a full detail (clay,polish,protect) because it is strong and does a good job of cleaning daily drivers. For regular washing of my personal vehicle I prefer Poorboy's Super Slick & Suds.

any carwash shampoo you get over the counter is just as good as anything else....without saying carwash soap is carwash soap.....well it is...keep the nxt and when its gone try something else....i personally buy the meguiars deep crystal wash, its cheaper than the other meguiars stuff....after all, carwash soap is just a lubricant to aid in the removal of dirt...
