    Hello guys!

    Price is not a factor to me. I want the best.. thats it.

    Are you doing a conventional 2 bucket wahs or using a foam gun or lance?

    Reason I ask is that you said you wanted "lots of foam"... Only in a gun or cannon would foam be of great help.

    Now if doing a conventional wash I would be more concerned with lubricity.

    So tell us what method wash you intend on doing and I/we can properly assist.

    Oh yeah... Welcome, your English is fine!

    One of my favorite shampoos is Chemical Guys Citrus Wash...it's really nice and slick and foamy. The Citrus Wash can become more powerful if you put more product per gallon of water.

    First of all welcome to Detailing Bliss. Finding the best really comes down to pwersonal choice, I mean I like a certain product and if you try the same product I use you'll have your own personal input about it, you may not even like it or think totally the oposite of what I think of it...well what I'm trying to say is that till you try things for your self you'r only going to get personal opinions...which is good, becuase it can atleast give you a direction where to go...but finding the best takes lots of purchasing and trying...I've done lots of that and I'm finally setteling down on things I consider the best.

    Now most of the time I use Meg's Gold Class Shampoo, it works well not something I consider the best but it gets the job done..now I have other products that I consider good. Pinnacle is one of them, Pinnacle shampoo is really gentle and wont strip the LSP currently on the vehicle. Then the product that to be a really good product, but that's just my opinion on it is Zymol Clear Auto Bathe, it's gentle suds really good and it's extremely concentrated so a little is all you need. It really leaves your car clean...but I only use this one vehicles that I consider worthy..but like I said that's just my :2cents:

    Hope this helps and sorry for the lengthy response :chris:

    Ok.

    It seems to be CG Citrus Wash and gloss who is the best... ?

    What do you guys think about Meguiars NXT Tech Wash?
    Is this a good shampoo for my car, en whats the differents from Meg. NXT and Chemical Guys?

    Edit: I'm just wonder folks: Are all Chemical Guys, good products... also top of the line? or is it some products from CG you don't want at all?

    Thanks for all the answers folks!

    First let me welcome you to DB.
    I just ordered a bottle of CG (CW&G) to find out for myself how good it is,here we all try to let others decide for themselves how they like or dislike a wax/sealant ,etc.
    Opinions are different and you go crazy to come to consensus on a product,some will tell you its the best and some will say they hate it.
    My guess on this product would be very good .:mounty:

    Well I've only tried the Meg's Gold Class Shampoo I think I've tried the Meg's NXT Tech Wash but I honestly can't remember I've only tried it once and that was a long time a go....I've kept on using Meg's Gold Class, not sure if this helps maybe sneek (who's a big Meg's fan) can chime in and share his thoughts on it.

    Im just wonder:
    Do Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss remove waxes from the paint? I heard this is a wery strong soap, so i just wonder.

    The wax i use is Pinnacle Signature Series II.

    depends on your dillution ration. Just use about 1/2 oz in a ucker and fill it up with 2-3 gallons of water. Stronger solution will remove carnauba wax.

    I use this for normal washes and haven't experienced the wax being stripped off. As long as you use 1/2 oz of product for 2 gallons of water you're fine. In fact to strip off the wax, the instructions say 2 oz of product per gallon of water, so you'll need a lot of product to stri pthe wax. Make sure you use some sort of measuring instrument. I use one of those measuring cups that come with cough syrups.
