Favorite Meguiars Wash & Why

[rick sample]

I currently use there cheapest deep crystal car soap. However, I was thinking of upgrading to either NXT or Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo/Conditioner. Which of these have you personally used and liked?

I personally use the Gold Class car wash Shampoo/conditioner. On my '04 GT, its seems to really enrich the color of the black paint. It has to be in my opinion, the best wash that Meguiar's makes.

To be honest I can't tell a huge difference between any of the OTC Meguiars soaps. I use Gold Class simply because it is the most available.

NXT all the way. Good balance of strength, gloss, and lubricants. Smells awesome too!

Re: Favorite Meguiars Wash & Why

I've used all three.

I like NXT for it's slickness. I have troubles with swirls on the Neon with it's hard as nails clearcoat and every little bit helps.

I also use Gold Class when it goes on sale at Costco, can't beat the price at times.

I ran out of both one day and fell back on old reliable, DC bottle I got in a gift pack

Gold Class for the look it leaves!

#62 because it foams nicely and the finish is awesome after the car is dried. But then again i like gold class and the deep crystal.

I like the Gold Class. I think it just lifts the dirt and grime away. It has alot of lubricity.

I actualy used to use Gold Class (better looks) in the summer and Nxt (better cleaning) in the winter, but now I just use #62.

All Meguiar's wash are very great and high quality.
It's a personal opinion so what you should do is try and try and try and when you've used the one you like the most stick with it

Re: Favorite Meguiars Wash & Why

I used to stock all three OTC soaps. (DC, GC,&NXT) I liked the GC on my black vehicle, and the NXT on the gold one. I used the DC for full blown major assault detail projects. I just happened to see a gal. of M62 on the shelf at a PBE store one day, brought it home and never looked back. It is my new "go-to" soap for all occasions.

Just LOVE the aroma!!

Re: Favorite Meguiars Wash & Why

I only use Gold Class products. Target puts the gift pack on sale around Christmas time and I always buy two, and that gets me through the year. I use the wash and follow it with the spray for extra slickness.

Re: Favorite Meguiars Wash & Why

they all work well:
I use what I happen to have (usually Gold Class), but I am not picky!

I also agree that I can't tell enough of a diference, to be loyal to only one type.

Whatever Meguiar's makes is an excellent product.

Re: Favorite Meguiars Wash & Why

I personally like NXT car wash, but I have been forbidden to buy it until we're all out of GC car wash, of which we still have 1/2 of a gallon sized bottle left. Of course, since I've been washing my car every weekend or every other weekend as of late (weather's been REALLY nice outside and I get sun on my skin instead of getting a cathode ray tan from the computer monitor), I'll probably be finishing that up within the next month.

I haven't tried anything other than the GC wash or NXT wash, primarily because it's easier to get my hands on, but the #62 may be a possibility, since I just found a PBE store in my area. The only problem with that is where to store it; our auto detailing shelves in the garage are all full of products, as are our wash buckets. I feel like a Meg's ad; all of the shelves are full of half-full or nearly empty Meg's products, and nearly full products by other companies that I tried and didn't like nearly as much.
