    Car Wash Shampoo for DP Paint Coated Car

    My personal vehicles have all been coated. One with Opti Coat 2.0 and two with DP Paint coating. My normal wash routine is Megs D114 for as rinse less and currently just using Duragloss 901 with 2bm for hose/hand washing. Would it be beneficial at all to switch to a shampoo without gloss enhancers to maintain the coatings? If so what shampoo's would you all recommend? CarPro Reset and CG Citrus Red are the only two that come to my mind. I also have read where some folks add a little apc such as Megs 101 to the wash bucket, is that wise? I have done my search due diligence and didn't really come up with much and even less in regards to non-gloss specific shampoos.

    Carpro reset is amazing on coated cars. I don't habitually add apc to my wash unless there's some serious grime build up.

    I normally rinseless wash with onr blue though.

    Never coated my car, but I haven't noted anyone having an issue with DG901. If you'd prefer to use a shampoo without "enhancers"; Optimum Car Wash, CG Honeydew/Mr. Pink, Dodo Juice BTBM, Megs Hyper Wash, and 3D Pink Soap should work.

    Get yourself a nice fire hose nozzle or pressure washed and remember to rinse often. This is greatly reducing the chances of contaminating your wash mitt or sponge and scratching your point.
