I'm a fan of CG Honeydew snow foam. What are you using?

I use Optimum No Rinse. That being said, I've gone through various different ones and they all seem to work roughly the same.

Duragloss 901 makes an excellent car wash soap!

Meguiar's G7164 Gold Class, mostly because it smells so nice I want to swim in it.

I use mothers carnauba was and wax. Tons of suds from start to finish and feels soft ( if that makes sense). I don't think it adds much as far as wax though. I use a detailing wax to dry with anyway, besides normal waxing.

I am about to order this stuff. Is it good? Should I spend a wee bit more on something different?

Gold Class is fine... it is a very budget friendly option.

Be sure to read the directions and follow the recommended dilution ratio for your shampoos and all chemicals you use!
