car wash soap
looking to buy new soap, but i am looking for one that sheets the water off instead of beading it to help me dry the car quicker.
what is everyone using or recommending, (i would prefer to use ones sold at walmart or canadian tire)

No, I don't play soccer!
After I wash mine, I remove the nozzle and let the water run over it. The water beads less that way. Then I take a leaf blower to get the water out of the rims and other hard to dry areas. One large MF towel and I'm done.
I learned the part about doing the final rinse without the nozzle from the awesome detailers here. Works like a charm.

Why are you wanting something from walmart or OTC? Just curious.
For a little more $$, and I mean a few buck, you can get soaps that are way better for your car.

If you want to dry the car quicker, get a high quality foam core mf drying cloth or a blower. Using DI water helps too.

i wax the car once a month, plus use quik wax between waxes, (black car)
i will try the no nozzle approach.
i am almost out of car wash soap and was looking to upgrade without mail order stuff, just want to go out and pick the stuff up,
hoping there were some decent suggestions

I agree the sheeting method for rinsing will be a big help. If you want to safely remove all the sealant and wax then the Chemical Guys Citrus Wash would be my product of choice. Another option is to try the Dodo Juice Time to Dry Drying Detailer which helps you dry quicker as well. If you have any questions please let me know.

+1 for Meg's Gold Class. If you have hard water try NXT Wash. Both are OTC and great products. Very inexpensive and available in larger sizes.
As to sheeting vs. beading. Watch this video.
