    OCW is very thick and gloppy. A real bear to pour it from the gallon to quart for convenience.

    Do you mix your soap buckets that way all the time?

    I fill bucket with 3-4 inches hot water, pour in soap and then turn both hot/cold on to mix, plus I am swirling the bucket and sticking my paws in it.
    This stuff is thick.

    Try it that way to make sure you didn't end up with 1 or 2 heavy soap mitts.

    This is what I have found as well.

    I could be wrong, but I still say that the pics Ric posted look different than the OCW I have.

    Re: Optimum Car Wash - Review

    Sorry if it's been stated already, but if you bought the product from a retail shelf, ebay, or some other non-retailer, someone may have returned a diluted product. Probably not, but worth mentioning. Those tamper seals are easy to reseal. I had one reseal itself just from sitting with a tight cap.
    Also, many of the expensive soaps that I've tried such as Dodo Supernatural, Pinnacle Body Wash, Wolfgang's soap, etc all were low foaming and I found myself initially disappointed by that characteristic but liked it in the end because I found those formulas easier to rinse.
    I have yet to find a super sudsing formula that's easy to rinse.
    My 2 cents...

    Agree with you on this.

    Yea I always mix my soap the same way. I don’t allow it to get caught up into 1 mitt, trust me that isn’t what happened.

    I used to mix up the way you describe, but that method doesn’t work too good when you try to follow those suds up by dumping 14-15 wash mitts into a soapy bucket... That’s why I toss my mitts in 1st, fill with lower pressure from the hose till nearly 70% full, then add the soap and hit it with the jet and get a proper soap filled bucket for all the mitts.

    I bought it here on Autogeek. I never shop Amazon. I like Ebay but trying to buy detailing products on there is no bargain.. Pretty much all my detailing supplies are from are bought here on Autogeek.

    Quick question, is there a chance these dozen or so mitts are soaking up all the soapOptimum Car Wash - Review I was happy to buy that Gyeon Bathe+ off of you, I really like the product personally.

    Mitts are supposed to soak up the soap.
    But in regards to what you’re saying, no. Because I wrung them all out after the 1st bucket I made and this is the nearly non existent pile of suds that remained after squeezing the suds out of 14 incredimitts.



    I read 1 of the reviews and the guy said that the suds on his driveway were still there and bubbly the following day... That’s a good 1! Lmao.

    Okay, one more time.
    This is mine, does the bottle you have react like this?
    If it does,I guess you just don't like blue soap



    When I use the foam cannon and OCW, the suds are in the driveway the next day. This is during late fall when I notice that.

    My bottle acts the same, and like I said before...... OCW isn't the sudsiest one I've ever used, but it never acted like what Ric posted.

    I'm still of the opinion he might well have received a bad bottle/batch.
