Default What's your favorite wash soap?

I have to say mine is Poorboys Super Slick & Suds. It cleans well and is very slick so dirt just seems to flow off.

What car soap do you like to use? Why do you like it?

Meguiar's Hyper- Wash is my favorite. Gentle but effective. Suds last and high lubricity make it my choice. I usually try all the new stuff but return to the Hyper-Wash.

My favorite is the P21S Bodywash Conditioner solution (comes in a green liquid). It not only does a superb job ridding the dirt and grime on the car, but also saves the wax that exists on the body.

Meguiar's Gold Class. Has all the qualities listed above, plus a great smell, and it's dirt-cheap (no pun) at Costco.

Meguiar's Soft Wash Gel ....
Reasonable and available most everywhere. Good sudsing, streak free rinsing. Doesn't remove all the wax.

Havent ordered any of the real god stuf yet, but I have used Meguires NXT Car Wash and the Gold Class. I like them both.

I had the RainX soap for a little bit in a small bottle and what a piece of crap that was. Before then I was working for a dealership, so I was using whatever they had. And it was good. I didnt care cause it was free.

I just got my order of Poorboys stuff last week and washed my car with the Poorboys Super Slick & Suds and it was great. The best I have used so far and it smells like candy .
