    Yup, they sent me a sample bottle. It has a cool little top that allows you to dispense very little if you're careful. Literally 3-4 drops is good enough to suds up a whole bucket it's crazy. Lol

    Their dilution ratio is way off. They also say one oz. to five gallons..if my math is correct that's 1:640, not even close to 1:2000.

    Gyeon Bathe works nicely on our coated cars, around 30ml per 4-5 gallons, $0.75 per wash.

    I know this is more of a rinseless wash than a shampoo, but McKees 37 N914 won't alter the properties of your coating.

    Synergy approach = Optimum shampoo! I'm sure OPT wouldn't make a shampoo that effected their own coating negatively. I love their shampoo personally for any LSP including coatings that is on a vehicle.

    I use the Sonax Car Wash Concentrate. It doesn't appear to have any glossing agents in it.

    Something I just noticed as I tried to provide a link, is the Sonax shampoo sold here is called the "Gloss Shampoo" while the bottle I have is simply called the "Car Wash Concentrate". I didn't buy it here, so I wonder if Autogeek is still working through old stock, and doesn't have the latest version.

    I had to confirm because the term 'gloss' made me think the shampoo does have glossing agents.

    Side topic: Just noticed Sonax has these shampoo with 'drying support' and 'water softener'. Pretty cool.

    You get what you pay for.

    Opti-Coat PRO isn't a cheap coating to have installed. It's worth ponying up a few bucks to have the good stuff to wash it.

    While of course I'm partial to our new Sio2 Auto Wash because it was designed with this application in mind, a lot of the soaps Autogeek sells will "work" and do a great job cleaning your vehicle without leaving behind a film.

    Autogeek almost always has some type of sale going on, be it X amount off or free shipping. There's always money to be saved.

    ^^^ This. I have both Reset and McKee's SiO2 Wash in my cabinet. Reset is a bit more concentrated but the cost of a McKee's 128oz size is still very good. 2oz to 5 Gals' is still a pretty easy ratio and with the sales here it will provide you product at about $.50 per wash. That's cheap in the long run.

    There are many "amazing" places to buy products, but one of the requests here and perhaps rules is we discuss and link to products and sales that support AutoGeek and their sister sites. Jeff Bezos has enough support
