what are your recommendations? Ive been using some Armarol shampoo, supposedly waxes as you was (i bet its bull****). It has done a decent job of cleaning my car though.

Anyone use the meguiar deep crystal or Gold Class? Any good?

 

i use herbal essences.

 

I use the Gold Class.

 

+1

Meguiar's Gold Class (although it costs twice as much as Armor All)
and
Herbal Essence for myself.

 

Poorboys or Pinnacle

 

meguiar's gold class

 

poorboy's super slick suds
meguiar's gold class
chemical guys maxi suds
optimum something that doesn't strip sealant/wax

all good stuff and won't strip your protection. i think meguiar's is the only OTC one though

 

The Zaino wash is good... I used it on Max's car last weekend and I really like it.

What do the detailers use to put suds all over the car before they wash it, I have seen members post pics of the car covered in suds.

Just wondering if its a special soap, or a nozzle for the hose.

 

that's quite strong for a regular soap

that's called a foam cannon and it serves a different purpose. that's not the only step of the wash they do. they usually pressure wash it from a distance afterwards then hand wash it after that

the purpose of the foam gun is to remove the heavy grime. Since most detailers have their work cut out for them, and i mean they really do, the foam provides lubrication for dirt to be carried off by the suds. You don't need this for your everyday wash. Just be careful on how much soap you are using. can't hurt to use more soap but it can hurt to use less

 

I understand thats not the only step they take when washing that car, but I would really like to get that for when my G gets super dirty.
