What car wash soap are you using?
I hope that no one says Dawn, but what kind of car wash products are you using?

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
am using turtle wax soap right now i generally look to see if something goes on sale or rebates are good //havent really noticed much difference between brands tho

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
I have used the blue corral with great results, and I am currently working on a small bottle of Meguair's I received in a gift pack. I think cdowns is right though, I haven't notice much of a change between the products, aside from any real cheap car soap which didn't remove very well.

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
My wife and daughters keep plenty of car shampoo in the garage . They usaully just buy it when they are at the store , so i get whats on sale . They like clean cars .:lol:

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
Everything for cleaning I use from
http://www.eagleone.com/pages/products/ because it is convenient as this is what we sell in my parts dept..:metal: Great stuff very inexpensive... |
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
I actually use Dawn in the spring.I think it strips most of the old wax off and cleans well.I usually w3ash it again with whatevers on sale then wax as usual.I probably should do it again in the fall but usually just wash well and wax it again.
BTW I usually put 2 coats on each time and some times 3 in the fall,more to make sure I didn't miss a spot than because I think more coats are better.And I usually wash it after waxing and do a final buffing to be sure I don't have residue. |
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
I go down to my local market and buy the cheapest, off brand dish soap I can find ($1.99 32 oz. bottle) and I wash my dishes/truck with that. Works great! I use a soft terry cloth rag to wash and a phony-baloney chamois towel to dry. Then I use Turtle wax in the Bottle to wax and I got the shiniest 70 C-10 in town.(maybe the ONLY 70 C-10 in town):lol:

Duragloss 901 or Zaino Bros Z7. I'm about to give Surf City Pacific Blue a try also.

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
I use the mequiars car wash liquid. it is pH balanced and it does not hurt your finish. I purchase it by the gallon and ave money that way.

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
Try Palmolive :lol:
Just kidding. That will eat the wax off your paint faster than anything else. I use Mark V detailing products. They are a wholesaler to detail shops around here, but also sell to the public. |
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
the Meguire's i've used, the suds don't seem to last long
|
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
It could be my well water quality, but the meguires has always left the most stubborn water spots on my black paint.:cuss:
I switched to blue coral and still have water spots, but they wipe off a lot easier than they did with the meguires. |
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
rwolf9653... do you have any wax on the vehicle? This might help to keep the water spots from forming on your vehicle. I know what it's like to have a well filled with all kinds of minerals, but have always had good luck with the Meguiar's products.

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
for the dawn and palmolive etc, as long as it's not liquid detergent it's ok.
liquid soap = good liquid detergent = watch out! while the liquid detergents will strip wax, they can/will also damage/strip your paint!!! I typically use whatever inexpensive liquid soap is around. I think it was 'dial' the last time I washed my truck. I've used the blue corral too, it was given to me, seemed just like normal soap :haha: I'm a cheap bastard, so it's usually the cheapest liquid soap... |

Have you considered using the Mr Clean Car Wash system? I haven't used one personally but I have a friend that used well water and had great results with it.

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
Used the Blue correl today and it does work good . Has alot of "slickness" to it .

Re: What car wash soap are you using?
I know this is about soap but I thought this was interesting. My uncle read somewhere that you could use pledge as wax and used it on his last new truck he owned for about 4 or 5 years. He claims the clearcoat is basicaly a plastic and thats what pledge is for. We're in the south with alot of bugs plus his truck was silver and it looke like brand new, and that truck never stopped from Alabama to Iowa and back and down to Florida and back many many times and I've personally seen him wash bugs off the front with a water hose. I haven't used it because I don't have anything with paint worth waxing but thought maybe some of you would find it interesting. He swears people are wasting time and money on wax.

I have tryed it all, I like Armor-all car wash soap and McGuire's cleaner wax. I have tryed it all, this works best for me. I wax once a month or more and dirt and dust wipe right off.
|
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
I have been using a bottle of Meguiar's with excellent results lately. After waxing, the paint is as smooth as glass.
|
Re: What car wash soap are you using?
Yep, the Mequiar's pH balanced soap is great for the paint and cleans real well. I use the Wizard's paint sealer and only have to do the paint around twice a year. I have no problems with the winter goo, either.
