    What's your favorite car wash soap?

    I have used a few different products...currently I have rain-x and it seems to work ok.I was just wondering what others are using and what brands to stay away from.

    I would avoid the Meguiar's stuff that is like pink/purple in color. Can't remember the name, maybe "Crystal Wash" or something? Sucks, doesn't get sudsy, leaves the car looking unclean.

    I really like the Rain-X product.

    Turtle wax Ice car wash, great sudsing when you want it to. Over a long period of time has made my car bead water off of it like it has been waxed on a regular basis. Keeps my exterior rubber and plastic looking brand new!!!

    Griotts Garage car wash, $40 per gal. It cleans and rinse clean, the biggest factor to me is, it does NOT hurt or strip your LSP (waxes or sealants). Also Finish Kare 1 car washit too rinses clean.
