I still enjoy looking at this post... Gold Class is hands down still my preferred wash. I have 4 gallons in the closet to prove it.

I actually used Gold Class for years... Then I gave #62 a shot.

I sure am glad I bought the Gallon of it.

I mainly use NXT but have used the DC wash and GC. But I prefer NXT.

I am happy with NXT. Never tried the Gold Class or other professional/Detailer line shampoo though.

Guess this is a different soap poll. GC Class for me, followed by NXT.

I like the HW, it suds up and stays that way and the amount of cars you can do per gallon is incredible.

I prefer Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner : long lasting suds, nice clean scent, conditioner darkens up my black plastic mirrors and roof rack, but not my runninging boards or other trim.

I used to use the Deep Crystal which worked well but I now have the Gold Class which is even better.

I finally picked up a gallon of 62 along with 50 lbs of other stuff from ADS. 62 does smell like Brut which I'm not crazy about (and now I smell like it)but it cleans very well and if you like suds you will be very happy with it. I think I might prefer it as a prep before cleaning, polishing, waxing etc over NXT and GC. I rate the following:

Lubricity: GC (way out front), 62, NXT
Gloss: GC (way out front), 62, NXT
Rinsability (even if you let it dry): 62, GC, NXT (a distant 3rd)
Suds: 62 (way out front), NXT, GC
Cleaning ability: NXT and 62 are close with a possible slight edge to NXT, then GC

I still favor GC due to it's superb lubricity, great barber shop smell, low suds and the gloss it leaves and will likely continue to use GC as my summer go to/clean ride wash with NXT probably being my preference for dirty ride/winter use but I'm curious to see how 62 handles a salty ride on a cold day. IMHO gloss is not the purpose of a wash and really doesn't matter especially if you are using UDQ after a wash and suds don't matter as far as cleaning is concerned if you are using mechanical action as with a wash mitt. Voted for GC.
