Best car wash soap

[ppendyck]

Have 2017 Mineral Grey M3 with partial Xpel and Ceramic Pro. Looking for suggestions as to the best soap to use with a Foam Gun.
Thanks

After doing some research I picked Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam. Have used it for a couple of years, works great.

Cheers

I use CarPro Reset. I love it. Not a ton of suds, but very, very slick.

I have been researching this over and over and always come back to Meguires Mirror Glaze #62 shampoo and conditioner. Tons of suds and good cleaning power without removing previous waxes. Mirror finish when done.

I wouldn't recommend this with a coated car, as it has gloss enhancers that can inhibit the beading effects of a coating.

For a coated car I'd recommend Adam's shampoo or CarPro Reset.

I like Adams because a.) its formulated for for a foam cannon b.) smells great c.) gets the job done.

I recently used the Adams Strip Wash to remove past sealants/waxes etc. I thought it did a great job as well.

Try Chadwick's Triple Play - it is really as easy as it looks with awesome results.

Yep Adams's is my favorite

I also use Adam's but I'm also open to try something new. They also have a new wash and wax shampoo that I have yet to try but interested.

It also comes down to your wash method to make sure you're not damaging the paint.

Adams in the cannon, Nanolex pure in the bucket.

[TedRoc]

I too use the Honeydew Snow Foam. Works great and smells even better.

[Detailers Domain]

Here are a few great ones

Nanolex Pure Shampoo
Lusso Auto Bathe
Adam's Car Wash

Also a very good coating booster will be Nanolex WashCoat.

Nanolex WashCoat is a product used after the car is cleaned and rinsed before you dry.

This stuff works wonders in a foam cannon too.

Zaino has been in the game a while, they are on the meguiars/Griots level. You should be fine with it but there are a lot of other options out there to use. For my arsenal i have mostly adams products with some old faithful's sprinkled in from other companies.

To second third fourth fifth and sixth
Adams shampoo
Honeydew

I use to strip
Adams Strip
Chemical guys citrus (correct me if i'm wrong i haven't used it in some time)
Dawn dish soap (if i cant find the other two0

Hey, Anyone here who already used Meguiars car wash soap? I would like to hear feedback from you. This is the first time I am going to buy a car wash soap. I read a few review posts, but most of them very generic content. How can I identify the best car wash soap? This website have some list of car wash soap and their top pick is Meguiars. But why they best? I mean what should consider before buying a soap?

Yes Meguiars is good stuff. Unless you are seasoned detailer, I doubt you will notice any difference in car wash soap between the major brands.

So is CG Honeydew Snow Foam okay to use with coated cars?
I've read there is such a small amount of gloss enhancer that it does not affect the coating. The main focus should be ph-neutral.

[XsltAnalyst]

I just use BMW shampoo that I picked up from the dealer. It actually smells good and seems to get the job done.

It does have gloss enhancers but if you use car pro reset once every few months it will remove any of the build up.

I use adams.
