I love DG901 as a maintanence wash and as a clay lube. With 20% off and free shipping, a 6 bottle case can be had for $21.60 ($3.60 a bottle!) For pre-correction wash I use CG wash clear and OPC.

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.

There are a ton of good soaps on the market. Without jumping into the outrageous priced soaps (some of which are worth it, most not) I have found that the following are my favorite:

• Optimum Car Wash - Long lasting suds, rich lather, thick
• Ultima Paint Guard Wash - Same as Optimum
• Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam - Best used in foam gun or cannon
• Chemical Guys Citrus - Also called Red or Citrus Wash - Best for stripping the paint prior to waxing. Good cleaning action.
• SONAX Car Wash - Good shampoo from GREAT company.

Honorable Mentions:

• Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss & Wash & Clear
• DG 901/2
• Auto Finesse Lather
• 1Z Exclusiv Gloss (own it but haven't used it yet; heard good things though)

Others that people like that I have not used:

• Dodo Juice Born to be Mild
• P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo
• Others that I have forgotten...

Hope this helps! The beauty is even if you buy one that you don't like, it gets the job done until it's time to re-buy! Happy detailing!

Can you explain to a rookie what "designed for a wax" means?

Can you explain to a rookie what "designed for a wax" means?

It means that it will not strip the wax or protection that is on the paint. It is usually represented by the wash saying "maintenance" "wax-safe" or something of the like. Conversely, a soap that says "stripping," "conditioning," or something like that means it is designed to strip the protection and provide a bare surface in which to work (though there is debate as to if a soap can strip a wax or sealant at all).

That is how I have always read the "designed for wax", but if that's not the case I hope someone else can correct me.

Megs hyper wash.

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.
