Hey guys,
I would like to find out what your personal experience has been with this product. I ordered it through Amazon because it had a 4.7 review score but haven't used it yet. Currently using Meguiars car wash. Your pros and cons would be appreciated.

Thanks.

This isn’t a setup question now is it? Mr. Pink you say eh?

I tried it once when it first came out. It was fine. Nothing crazy. Truthfully over the years I’ve used many soaps and most are all the same and get the job done.

Meguiars hyper wash is actually very good and economical. Have like an entire gallon as I’ve since switched to rinseless.

I buy the cheap meguires from harbor freight. I only started buying it because now I'm running a foam cannon. It takes more soap to run one, and I can't justify the price of the fancy stuff. It foams up well for being cheaply priced. I think a jug of it was $6-7 last I checked. If you are just doing it buy hand without a cannon, then spending a little more on a quality soap would make more sense.

If you catch this on one of their 25% off sales and like $75 free shipping minimum with some wash mitts/towels or maybe a new wax you’ll have that gallon forever.

I haven't used that one but I do use their Honeydew Snow Foam car wash which works great. I'm sure it similar to yours but mine is made for going through a foam cannon. Plus they smell good too. lol

I find it actually takes a lot less. I mix 4 oz soap and add distilled water to my foam cannon. I can get 3-4 washes out of this and I do my wheels and wells first, rinse than the whole truck. With a foam cannon you need to run a "snow foam soap" or it won't foam up much at all. I was using Trinova car shampoo and conditioner for my hand washing and when I use it through the foam cannon there's very little foaming.

Im about done with the gallon I bought some time ago. Decent foaming. Nothing out of this world, but it smells real good and does the job.

Good point. By me saying it takes more soap I just mean vs. just using a 2 bucket method without a cannon.

I use that and the honeydoo snowfoam. They're great for maintenance washes and smell awesome.

Thanks Josh. Noticed you own a Mazdaspeed3. I bought a new 1973 RX3, herschell orange - black interior. These 1st Wankel rotary's were fast! Couldn't find any photos but found a similar one online.

Too cool! Was that stateside? I see a lot of those down under. And I just got rid of the ms3 and m3 for the ranger but I love the Mazda brand. I've watched way too many youtube videos on how to "rebuild" 13Bs.

Yep, bought it from Rich Mazda here in Albuquerque which was then owned by Rich Ford (still here) but they have since sold the Mazda dealership out. Later owned several 626's which were reliable and had quality engineering. Also owned a 99 Mazda B4000 4X4 Truck (Great truck branded from Ford Ranger). My previous Truck was a 2011 Ford Ranger (Great truck). So far, I am very impressed with the new Ranger and really like the way it handles and drives!

A car wash solution with a polishing recipe that you can practice without difficulty is exactly what you need. Do-it-yourself car wash soap is cheaper, safer, and gives you greater control over substances to meet your specific needs.

I just get whatever is cheap at Walmart, usually Meguier's.
I did get a Chemical Guys Wheel Gerbil wheel brush that I like (from Amazon).
