Let me know if you want some help with that!

Nah, I got it. I do paint correction for Whiteside Customs most the time. I just don't have my own porter cable and now I will. It helps having a garage too, haven't had one of those in a long time haha.

What? Too cheap for you? Ive tried about 15 different soaps, this works the best, gets car super clean, feela like it was just waxed, and you dont have to scrub real hard for the bugs and tar, road grime that collects on the bottom areas of the bumpers and side panels. Shit almost wipes right off.

i had been using the meguiars gold class soap for 2 years and had thought it was awesome.. well just recently i bought this Meguiars yellow "ultimate wash and wax" http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product/4823
and the results where phenominal. i couldnt believe it had soo much suds and smelled awesome and when i was done it had my car gleaming like a mirror and had the "just waxed look to it"
will definatly be using this for now on as it has the same stuff as thier best carnuaba waxes already liquified into the wash. So killing two birds with one stone was definatly awesome..

Best meguairs wash is also the cheapest. Comes in a pink bottle. Stuff is the best I've used.

Imo thats the worst.. Absolutely no suds at all and more work to get all the dirt off the vehicle.

Are we using the same cause Ive used the Ultimate and it wasnt up to snuff. Think bottle was def more sudsy plus i dont like the wax additive in the ultimate wax wash or whatever. Then again I always use Ultimate spray wax after every wash to extend protection between washes. This may be why the pink works so much better for me.

Stick with what works for you. Im ging to start using Cquartz wax soon away from meguairs.

Guess I'll stop using Dawn and try some of this Gold Class stuff. Question though, why are you guys saying this stuff is pretty much the best off-the-shelf car soap over others?

As long as you use meguairs or mother or a name brand soap there really isnt a bad choice. They all work well. Plus the meguairs has a nice smell. Dont tell me you have been washing you car with dawn soap?...That will take every bit of wax that is on your car right off. If you have been you need to wax that car immediatly.

Yeah I have been. Honestly i don't think the car had wax on it when i boughtit. Paint looks just the same to me. The car needs a full detail so i was nnever bothered.

Put wax on it quickly. Your paint is taking a beating. Nothing to protect it from the elements. NEVER USE DISH SOAP. If it takes grease and wax off of pans and sucj imagine what it does to paint. A gd polish and wax would wonders.

They use dawn soap to clear crude oil spills off animals. Only use it on a car before you plan to do some serious waxing (clay, polish, glaze, wax, etc).

I use Meguair's products myself. Great quality, not super expensive, can be found anywhere. Can't go wrong with Gold class, but have been using the new ultimate line on the mustang.

Also look into the two bucket method for washing. It helps with eliminating any grit and dirt from causing swirl marks.
