Car Wash?? Just recently, I switched from using my favorite car wash, Mother's California Gold to Meguair's Gold Class car wash. All I can say is, wow!! The Mother's car wash was good, but this Meguair's stuff is just AWESOME!!! The bucket and sponge stays sudsy the whole car wash!!! Stuff works dynamite. I was wondering if anyone else had used this car wash or something else that worked really well. Just wanted to let you guys know how great this stuff works.

All I use are Megs products. Everything except for Simple Green for the wheels/tires. But Meg's stuff is kickass for the price, and can be found just about anywhere.

I detailed for a Chevy dealer for awhile and the stuff we used was all commercial, but was good stuff. Although we used soft bristle brushes, I still prefer to wash w/ a good old fashioned sponge. Ive never used Zaino or even NXT yet, but Ive always gotten good results w/ Megs.

Ive enjoyed using the Mr Clean Auto Dry wash...its the perfect thing to use for my weekly washing:
1. The soap is light ( i know most dont like this part about, but its one thing I like best), and definitely does not strip any wax, just washes away particles, and leaves a nice shine.
2. If you do it correctly, drying is totally unneccessary. Your car will dry spot free without a single wipe of a chamois
But after reading this thread I decided to give the Gold Class wash a shot (I have used Meguire's washes before, specifically the NXT wash which I use once a month, because it is heavier and does strip away wax).
Well today I washed my car with the Gold Class stuff and I must say...damn, its impressive. The stuff suds up soooo beautiful, smells awesome, cleans well and DOESNT strip ANY wax off. So now Ive retired the Mr Clean, and have hired Gold Class and "The Absorber" drying towel will work overtime. As much as I love the ease of use of the Auto Dry Wash, the Gold Class shampoo is WORTH hand drying my car for. Awesome stuff.

Meguiars GC wash+mitt+The Abosrber=spot free shine
I used the Zaino car wash for a while and it does well, but the Meguiars seems to do a much better job of cleaning the road grime off, as well as reclaim some lost shine. I wash about once a week and am always amazed at how dirty my car was, without me even realizing it.
