    Your recommended car wash soap?

    I have done a search of the forums, but haven't really found a clear answer.

    Until now, I have been buying soap in bulk from a local supplier. It's supplier branded, nothing fancy. Seems to work well enough, but I am wondering if my money might be better spent elsewhere.

    I am located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The cars I deal with this time of year are DIRTY. Covered in road grime, calcium, salt, etc.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    Duragloss, Griots, Poorboys, Optimum, and Einszett are all personal favorites.

    I too like the Duragloss, I like the smell, seems to have good lubricity, and it seems to rinse clean also.

    I've only bought this locally, and at $6/pint, to me that doesn't sound that inexpensive.
    I'm almost out, and I think next time I'll just pop for the big Gallon size instead. I'm sure I can order it. If not, next time I need some goodies from AG, I'll include some in an order.

    If I can get it locally for around the price AG advertises it for (per gallon), then that seems like a better deal economically.

    Otherwise, any other shampoos sold locally here, by mothers-meguiars-etc all seem to have some "wax or shine additive", and I don't want that sort of product.

    DG 901 and CG Citrus Wash Clear are all I use.
    You can't beat DG901 for the price!
