Default What Soap are you using ??

Hey guys I been using the Meg's NXT car wash for a long time but the last two times I bought it, it was really liquidy. NXT used to be thick and with a little I used to wash the car and it would make really good suds. Now I dont know if they changed the formula but Im trying to try something else.

What do you guys use ?


I want something that is thick and concentrated and smells good
After all, I want to smell something good since I wash the car often

I use Mr.Clean auto dry refill soap. It doesn't leave spots. Should I upgrade to Meguires?

Meguiars gold class here also, it lasts me a long time too. When I worked at car quest I would get dura gloss I think its called because they didnt carry meguiars, and it was pretty good too.
