question: car wash soap, which to get?
Hi, I know it's not that important, but I ask anyway. Hope you guys don't mind.
I used anything available at local stores from black magic to meguiars gold class, meguiars the purple color and I can't tell the different. I am not very sensitive about soap ![]() Has anyone used this wash and wax meguiars thing? Do you really feel any wax in it? http://www.autozone.com/wash-cleaners-and-exterior-care-products/wash/meguiar-s-ultimate-wash-and-wax/64176_0_0/ Thanks.

Just my opinion but I really like P21S. I use Megs on my DDs but the P car gets the good stuff. Very silky and friendly to the 30 year old paint. Yes it feels smooth, not waxy and cleans very well. BTW, I have OCD.

I like meguiars...smells good, easy to find, works fine. Same reason I use irish spring on the man suit.

Costco sells Meguiars in a large plastic jug. Seemed like a good deal at the time.

I've been using Griot's, like it better than the McGuires I used to use. I find it rinses clean easier.

I've been happy with Pinnacle products from Autogeek but have not used their washes.

I have been using Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine for a couple of years now on all my cars. It is the best car wash material I have ever used. Google "Optimum No Rinse" It is made by a company called Optimum.

No soap...! Hot water only. Keeps the wax from being removed. So the paint lasts longer. If you keep it relatively clean and use a real good mitt ( I use Griots), no soap required.

I have a hot water spigot on the side of my house.... Another sillcock and a little plumbing. PO of the house had it for watering his horses in pasture below freezing.
