CG'S Mr.Pink.

I just started using it, good suds, slick feeling, rinses off well and just love the smell.
Before Mr.Pink I was using Maxi-Suds, another good soap.
Both only takes a little to give you a five gallon bucket of soap.
Can't go wrong with either one.

That's interesting I have found Mr. Pink to be the worst soap I have in my collection. To me it lacked cleaning ability and had poor lubricity. I really regret buying the gallon. I now only use it for my foam lance. But everyone has an opinion.

My favorites are
DG 901
Optimum
Ultima

I'm a big fan of CG Mr Pink. Cleans well, nice suds, a little goes a long way, and the best smell ever.

The best I've used:

Optimum car wash
Meg's Hyper wash
A***'* car shampoo

The best? Lusso Oro. Slick, luxurious, and tons of suds. Save it for a special occasion @ $70 a gallon. There are so many good ones I'm not going to list them. All I can say, is that if your using a wax, I think it's a good idea to use soap designed for a wax.

... and if you use a coating, use a wash made for coatings, i.e., no gloss enhancers like G Wash., DODO Juice Super Natural or Born to be Mild.
For prep wash nothing beats CG Citrus Red for me.

Hands down Lusso Auto Bathe. No contest.

1 part Maxi Suds + 1 part H20 = Mr Pink.

I've been trying but I just can't do much with it. I've been using it for wheels just to get rid of it.


To the OP, Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo is nice but for general maintenance I have no reason to switch from Duragloss 902.

I am very much looking foward to trying Lusso!
