Car Wash Recommendations?

[zdubsi]

Hi guys,

So i've been trolling this forum for a while trying to soak up all the detailing information I can. I just recently got a G110 and i've ordered a good deal of new buffer friendly products. I used to be a huge Zaino guy but their products aren't buffer friendly so i've begin the expensive switchover to the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line (LOVE the stuff). Anyways, while I was placing an order on ADS I decided to try some NXT car wash (only things I still use from Zaino's line are the car wash and the QD which I am hunting down replacement products for). I do a fair bit of car washing for a lot of people so I would prefer to buy in bulk which Zaino doesn't do as far as I know.

Anyways, back on topic.... I tried the NXT wash and I was not at all pleased. The Zaino car wash has a lot of lubricity to it and I just wasn't satisfied with NXT's lubricity (I am using correct dilution amounts for both products!) Meg's offers so many car wash products and while I could buy samples for each and every one I am only a college student who just can't afford weekly orders from ADS. So I thought I would put out a post and hope for the best and see what kind of response I can get.

I would prefer to be able to purchase in gallons so I am hoping D110, D111, D112, or M62 will be able to fit my bill. Does anyone know what kind of car wash will give me significantly more lubricity than NXT? If anyone has used Zaino car wash and can add in what kind of experience they've had with the different meguiar's washes that would also be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance guys!

I think you'll find the responses almost evenly split between NXT and Gold Class here, with an edge to Gold Class. I think someone did a poll on this not too long ago.

Welcome to Meguiars Online!!
Basically All of Meguiars Washes are good.
Some People Love Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner or NXT
I really Like Hyper Wash and Super Soap!!

Here is a Poll on Car Washes:

Found the poll. And it's actually heavily weighted to Gold Class. NXT came in a distant 2nd.

Which Car Wash do you like the best?

We posted the same things right after each other.
Oh!! How We Meguiars Online people think alike!!

You beat me to it Joel. But you have the advantage of youth on your side

yeah i really like the lubricity of the gold class so you could give that a try and its really inexpensive. However, since you are looking to buy in the gallons i suggest super soap, there is a lot of good stuff out there so maybe if you dont wanna go for one use the ads sampler program??

I love Shampoo Plus. I don't understand how so many of you voted for Gold Class and missed Shampoo Plus. Maybe beacause GC is available OTC.
Anyway, Shampoo Plus is much slicker wash, and offers MUCH MORE lubricity, once you try it, you will love it. It doesn't offer much foam.
For this you can add an ounce of Hyper Wash in your bucket if you prefer additional suds. I just simply use a foam gun prior to the main wash with DP xtreme foam formula...Can't wait for my foam lance to arrive from UK...it will turn thick suds into "shaving cream"...

I've not used Shampoo Plus, but #62 has the better lubricity than any of the comsumer line washes.
