What soap to use.
 
Alright I just ran out of the stuff I had for years and they no longer make it. What would you guys recommend for a good soap.

Yea Meguiars is good stuff. Also a good site to go for detailing info is Autopia.com. These people take auto detailing to a new level.

I don't like them for everything but I do like their soaps, quick detail sprays, and their top coat polishes.

Iv noticed some people get it bc they see it on the forums. They either don't know what they are talking about or don't want to go against the flow and just claim it's awesome. This is for any product. Like I said I tried chemical guys and for me it sucked. My ole man builds insane bad ass cars and he is the painter too. He uses dish soap lol. He has had $100k+ cars sell at Barrett Jackson and multiple cars in magazines. He believes if it doesn't look good with out wax there is an issue. I use wax so.., he hates my guts. J/k

Dish soap? Hopefully most of those cars will sit in garages most of their lives. Dish soap is a great way to get the car absolutely clean but it will strip any wax or sealant.

I personally have had great success with most of the Zaino products. I find them incredibly easy to use and they show great results. I have a lot of people ask me what I use on my paint, or that my paint looks great. There are millions of products out there though and I am not by any means saying Zaino is the be all end all, there are many of equally as great or better products out there.

Its all really about doing your own personal research and finding what you like best.

Yea these cars sit in climate control 75% of the time. They will get wax here and there. I just think it's funny that he uses crap soap. He's been doing this stuff for over 35 years and knows what he is doing. You don't have to put 800 layers of wax on a car to make it shine and protect it.

I used Zaino when I had my Firehawk, to be honest I thought it was awesome. Being that my current 2 cars are white, there is no need to do so much to the car. Here are a couple pics of the Firehawk. I use Meguiar's now and it works just fine for me. We will see how it does once I get my porter cable in a week or so. My Camaro needs paint corretion badly.
