    Car wash soap

    If you're looking to use a foam gun, I'd go with 3D Pink. I've seen it in use and the foam is simply amazing. So thick it'll bury a grown man in seconds.

    Some people have suggested D110 Hyper Wash, [400:1 dilution ratio] but I use 3 gallon buckets for washing.. And the thought of measuring out .5 [half ounce] of car soap sounds more like an inconvenience than anything. Hyper Wash's dilution ratio is geared toward actual car washes, which use professional metering systems.

    What soap are you currently using?

    Re: Car wash soap

    I use hyper wash in buckets. Does anyone measure that out?
    I feel most people eyeball it.
    I was a bartender and we had to free pour 1 1.25 1.5 ounce etc and got tested on it so..

    One pump of the dispenser I have on the gallon bottle straight into the bucket. Makes it really easy.

    Re: Car wash soap

    I haven't used 3D Pink Soap. But I do use Hyper wash. It works fine in a bucket and in a foam gun/foam cannon. You don't need to strictly use it a foam gun/cannon.

    I also like Optimum Car Wash. That has a 1/2 oz per gallon dilution. It's a tad thicker than hyper wash

    It's not sold here but Adams car shampoo is nice. It's thicker than either of these.

    Lol sorry but I have to completely disagree. This is a bogus statement in my opinion.

    Yup, that'll work.
    I have pumps for my gallons, but I tend to use them less nowadays simply because in order to return to my cabinet I have to re close them, which results in a bit of wasted product during that last pump & turn.. But that's just my own personal issue.

    Thx to a tip from someone on this forum, I've begun to use these self cleaning spouts for some of my gallons. And best of all it easily fits in my cabinet. The only negative is they pour Really slow... It took almost 3min. to fill up this 12oz bottle from empty just now.

    Little bottle is marked @ every 2oz. for easy precise bucket washes.👌🏼

    When I 1st set out to buy in bulk, I called Megs Hotline and asked about Hyper Wash because it almost seemed too good to be true with its dilution ratio & price per gallon. I was wondering why I hadn't heard more mention of this perticular car wash. The Megs rep informed me it was because Hyper Wash is marketed towards professional car wash businesses that use metering systems.

    That same info about D110 Hyper Wash can be found on numerous websites across the internet.
