Not in cold climates, the dirt, grit, salt just eats up no rinse products and a zillion clothes.
Powerwashers and TFR are king in the UK, that and spray waxes so you can run inside as quick as possible

LOL @ "and spray waxes so you can run inside as quick as possible"

ONR every time. optimum no rinse.

Rineseless car washes just win. on the rare occasion a customer request a traditional wash with car soap i have some old cheap megs car soap.

GC is a bit spotty in anything other than cold weather. NXT is just a dream, I know that because the missus brags about it and she only like the best in range.
She also loves Detailer APC as its hardcore and does the job, excited to try the new citrus range replacing APC plus as APC on windows is a no-no.

Very old but very interesting read. Something I've been dealing with in my own business. I LOVE Duragloss 901 and 902 better than anything I've ever tried. A close 2nd would be the Meguiars Detailer line Car Wash Shampoo. My biggest Meguiars gripe is ( and the car wash types are a perfect example) finding a TECHNICAL explanation of the various lines.....classic, gold class, mirror Glaze, Nxt generation etc that is not watered down pr stuff is hard. Like a closely guarded national security issue or something.

NXT or Gold Class are for me. Love them both. Been curious to see how the Ultimate Wash and Wax does.

Its great. Esp if you dont have time to spray waxing after. Bit of a waste if you were doing something after.

So is there a big difference between Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and Mirror Glaze #62 Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner?

Not too big. If anything ,the Gold Class is a little bit gentler.

Still waiting on Meguiars to make a soap sampler.

Re: What is your prefered car wash soap/shampoo?

In my arsenal I have:

*3 - 64oz GC Shampoo
*4 - 48oz Ultimate Wash & Wax
*12 - 64oz Eagle One NanoWash & Wax
*6 - 16oz DC Car Wash
*1 - 128oz Clean Mart Super Cherry Car Soap (super thick, like molasses)

I am planning to buy a gallon of Meguiars Super Soap someday this month for $14.99, and only $7.99 for a REFILL on my local Meguiar's Dealer.

I mainly use Eagle One each week when I am doing a NO touch car wash on my driveway. I dilute EO with 3:1 of water, use it on my Home Depot CUSTOM-made foam gun.

I use DC Car Wash on my wheel wells, and my other older car.

Before I got any Eagle One car wash soap, I use to use GC every week. However, when Checkers put Eagle One on SALE, I could not resist.

Finally, I use UW&W everytime if rains or every three weeks (which every comes first).

Even though I chose Gold Class soap, I find it a pain in the neck to get My windows to come clean after washing. It leaves a film that is hard to see in the rain. That said, I really like the way it clean and makes the paint look great!

Likely you are using too much soap, not enough water.

That is news to me.

I haven't encountered anything remotely similar to it.
