Washing cars

[BrianMcLeod]

I wash cars around my neighbor hood and heard from a video that some soap at the stores is not that good any good Quality soap from autogeek btw I'm 14

OTC soaps are good, Meguiars Gold Class for example

Turtle Wax Rinseless has also been getting some pretty good reviews.

Assuming you don't want to spend a lot of money, Meguiar's Shampoo Plus is a nice shampoo that won't break the bank.

Meguiar’s D111 Shampoo Plus, 1 Gallon

Meg's Gold Class Shampoo is normally the OTC (over-the-counter) favorite, but I've heard good things about Mother's California Gold (NOT the wash & wax, the regular shampoo).

The major difference will be your technique. Make sure to wash correctly, there are tons of videos out there explaining the 2 bucket wash, the proper drying technique.

Make sure to get a good microfiber towel to dry the cars. And never use it if it's dirty or if you drop it on the ground.

I am glad to see someone your age with this kind of initiative. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask us if you need to know anything. Youtube has videos on pretty much every single aspect of detailing so it's a good place to learn too.

some car soaps you can buy at local stores are good and some are crap. I have been using turtle wax Ice soap and I really like it. I also use Meguiars ultimate wash and wax.

Im 18 and do the same. I use meguiars gold class with 2 5 gallon buckets with grit guards. (I foam the car first with chem guys honeydew) dry car with leaf blower and then get the rest with waffle weave towel. Gold class is the only shampoo i have used and it has served me well.
