What is your favorite car washing soap?

[Treburkulosis]

I've been using the Adam's Mega Foam lately and like it. Combined with the Adam's 2.0 pressure washer and Adam's foam cannon it does a good job of breaking down a lot of dirt and bugs prior to a contact wash.

But, I only use it for foam. I prefer the TW Hybrid Ceramic wash for the contact wash. It has a lot of lubricity and adds another layer of protection.

Have you tried adams Graphene Wash? I use it on my Charger.

No. If it's anything like their graphene coating then I am not a fan.

I have used the graphene shampoo...it is amazing. I have also used Adam's ceramic graphene spray coating. I used it on part of my vehicle, the other part was meguiars ceramic spray wax. The Adam's has lasted way longer.

I only use it on my Charger due to the cost vs CG Extreme body wash and wax which is what I use on my truck and wifes vehicle. Its really good surprisingly.

Adams is good stuff. I do love my chemical guys stuff, but when it comes to the paint Adams is all that touches my vehicles.

I also like the extreme body wash and wax. A little bit goes a LOOOONG way. I think I might try meguiars ultimate wash next. Ive been watching Pan The Organizer on youtube. He has some great comparison videos for different products on his channel. Going to give 303 sealant and TW seal n shine a whirl here soon!

I tried out Adams mega foam and its ok. I still think I like Extreme wash and wax better. Better foaming and seems to pre clean the paint better. I do like the smell of Mega Foam. Reminds me of a big red soda lol.

Dawn, the rest is just marketing. If it's good enough to clean pure oil off of birds when theirs an oil spill it's good enough for a RAM. If you're thinking..hmmmm...try it.

So, I have say I do like Adam's wash and wax. I have a 2019 Ford Explorer, daily driver, and I have never waxed it. I usually run it through a touchless wash. I washed it last week with the Adam's WW and it looks like I waxed it. There is more shine and depth to the blue paint, plus it looks pretty shiny. Almost as shiny as my wife's Mazda, and my Ram 1500, which get waxed.

I’m torn between CG and Adams when it comes to soap. I tend to prefer CG. You are correct the shine they bring out some awesome shine!

I use Carpro Reset and during the winter months I hand wash with a battery powered pressure washer and 5 gal pails of water. My black truck came through the winter looking as good as it did before from a scratch perspective.

I tried to add a topper after the winter but there was too much contaminant on the paint so I took it to my detailer in June. Since then I've been maintaining with IGL premier on the hood and Echoshine as a final drying agent for added protection.

Portable pressure washer, great for winter washing!

This is a review of the WORX Hydroshot Ultra WG649. 725psi I was looking for a way to clean my black Ram 1500 during the winter without a hose and I thought I'd give this a try. First, all the weight is in the motor which you set in your water source..a 5gal pail in my case, so the pressure...

Yeah same here. I don't use dish soap other than stripping before I start a full detail.

I like using Adam's Wash & Wax.

What is a good soap to use on a ceramic treated paint

 

[Bigs]

A good real ceramic coating is tough and will probably outlast any soap you give it. BUT, I would basically stick to any car wash soap that doesn't strip, I like to stick with Chemical Guys, Adams, Car Pro or even some new SIO2 soaps like Turtle Wax.

Been using a lot of CG soaps lately and I like them a lot. The TW as well but there are basically no suds, but man it brings a nice shine! Check out my thread in here on the TW brand lineup of SIO2 products. There are tons of good soaps out there, just find one that floats your boat!

Opti-Coat has some good soaps. My HCWB is ceramic coated and I was told to use this stuff. Ceramic coated vehicles (I've been told) are not supposed to be hot when you wash them. I use this stuff in my garage. A couple good microfiber towels and a small bucket. It doesn't take much more than a cap full. You can feel it on your hands when you wash it. Just my 2 cents.
