I have been using a bucket that has the measurements marked on the side. It occurred to me last week to verify the measurements. What I discovered is that the gallon marks were way off--each gallon in fact equals approximately 3/4 of a gallon. This means that for the past year I have in fact been using too much car shampoo. No wonder I haven't been getting the kind of durability from my waxes that everyone else has been getting.

Re: Check your measurements!
I've always used Soft gel(can't find it now,so I just opened anNXT today).
I've always just filled the bucket with a blob of soap and pressurize the warm water into the bucket,and just judge it by the weight.I've never thought about measuring.(right or wrong?)
I have been using Carnauba dc3 and it lasts for ages,and my car is never garaged.Last time I waxed it was over 3 months ago and it still sheets off like it was done yesterday.
Which shampoo do you normally use?
