Gold Class is really good unless you have very hard water then I prefer NXT Tech Wash.

I've been using Meguiar's Gold Class for 10 years, on everything from a 2001 Ford F250 diesel pickup to a 2011 Lexus IS350. It's a great choice....

Definitely Meguiars Gold Class. I use it and I like it very much. Cheap, easy to find, and effective.

I prefer the soft wash gel to the gold class.

Gold class is probably the best OTC soap there is.. IMO.

Armor All has a reputation against it. Plain and simple

Meguiars is great! I have the one with a wax in it, its perfect for when you dont have time to wax the entire car and a rain is rolling in. Keeps the paint soft and protected. Armor All I'd stay away from purely based of its reputation.

Meguiars Gold for years here. Does a great job plus its easy to find and affordable. I Just recently picked up some blackfire wash on sale so i'm trying that out with the next wash.
