What is your favorite car wash?

[sohail99]

I really like Meguiars Gold Class Car wash.

Its perfect for the painted panels.

For other areas like under hood areas and back of panels + door jambs etc. I use Sonax car wash shampoo in a spray bottle.

I'll be getting a pressure washer with a foam gun attachment soon!
Will compare foaming action of each of them!


Recently I tried Eagleone easy dry car wash and I think it contains some water softening agent. It dries easily on protected paint. Cleaning power is average though!

Poorboys, Griots, Duragloss or Optimum ... all work great in foam gun, clean well, and dont leave any marring.

I have a few favorites! DP has been working great for me and is my go to wash....Lost of suds/lubricity, a great value on BOGO and smells good too! Dodo Sour Power... has a touch of carnuba in but still doesn't smear windows after repeated use! And Dodo Born To Be Mild......cleans awesome and rinses off beautifully...no gloss enhansers or waxes to alter the apperance. I find myself using this mostly after a recent waxing as it is very gentle even on Souveran!!! I need to try Ultima tho!

Meguiars Hyper-Wash at 2 oz. per five gallons of water. Great suds and is pretty slick at this ratio.

Dodo Juice Supernatural and Zaino Z-7.

I have been trying the SONAX out lately and I like it.

I am usually a over the counter guy for the car wash and believe it or not I like the Turtle Wax Ice car wash. I am going to give the Megs stuff a try next time I need some but now that winter is here I go through a touchless car wash and then go home and ONR for cleaning.

Not hearing too much on Optimum (just a couple comments). I just purchased some but haven't used it yet. Any further comments on it would be great. Will post back with results as well.

Shane, this would have made a terrific poll!

• Duragloss 901
• PS21 Bodywork Shampoo
• DP Auto Bath Shampoo

My favorite would be the Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo. It's just simply perfect. I mostly use the DP Auto Bath Shampoo due to the size, price and quality of this product. You really can't beat the BOGO special on the DP.
