need some car wash soap recommendations?

[proveitwithdata]

I am running out of car wash soap, and my usual strategy for cleaning my dirty rides have been traffic film remover bi annually (purple power vehicle and boat wash), followed up a iron decon again biannually, and then meguiars ultimate wash and wax regularly.

However the combo is feeling cumbersome, and I see alot of new contenders.

Any recommendations and experiences with soaps I should look into, like bilt hammer autofoam or touchless. wash chemie, or gold class?

I like this one. Has an orange candy smell.

 

[JeffKeryk]

I use ONR or whatever they call it. Easy peasy and fast!

 

[Lubener]

I buy whatever make the best economic sense. It's just car soap.

They don't call it Gold Class for nothing.

 

[AutoMechanic]

This is one of my favorites. Works great.

Adams car care. They also offer a foam cannon that works great if you don't want the bucket method.

Turtle Wax Zip Wax works on my vehicles.

After the ancient gallon of Turtle Wax soap was used up, I bought this:

Recently, I've started taking the car to the Mister Car Wash (weather permitting); I like the underbody rinse. I do an occasional hand wash just so I can at least inspect the exterior of the vehicle.

Any experiences with bilt hammer auto foam or touchless? Seems like a great idea to minimize contact during washes?

If you're ready to move beyond Meguiars and chemical guys that you can find at walmart, Griot's is the brand:

Griot's Garage 10866 Car Wash (Brilliant Finish) 64oz https://a.co/d/hYJvrkx

its like 7 to 9 dollars depending where you go, it's cheap, and works great.

I use whatever is under the sink for dishes. Same stuff for hands and in the shower too.

Probably been 7 or 8 years since I've washed anything beyond firing up the Hotsy and spraying.

Nothing wrong with that, although it may be detrimental to whatever sealant/wax's longevity on the paint.

You have to order it online, but I like to use Meguiar's Hyper Wash. It's a little spendy, but you only need 1oz per 5 gallon bucket of warsh. It foams up very nice especially if you have a water softener or rainwater cistern setup.

…and then when you realize that Griot’s is mostly a marketing operation - all hat, no cattle - you can grab some Meguiar’s products at your local Walmart

Walmart? I had to go to a Chemical Guys store to get one. I like the stuff. I'm running low on it and plan on getting another bottle.

Griot's does make a couple good products. I like their ceramic wax and quick detailer. Their soap is kinda meh, especially for the price.

I guess i left out some key requirements

Im going to be using it in an electric foam lance to snow foam the car. 1L bottle.
In addition i need it to have dirt dissolving properties and not just a boat load of foam to look cool.

The main objective is to remove stuck on particles, and also forgo the 2 bucket method/minimize the contact wash
