Car Soap

For those who haver their own washing station at home, what car wash soap do you like the most?

I tried so many, and recently I settles on the Chemical Guys CWS21264 HydroSuds Ceramic SiO2 Wash Soap -->
Amazon Amazon

Is their a better option that you all recommend? I prefer PH balanced soap as two of my cars are fully PPF'ed with built-in ceramic coat (Llumar Valor PPF "same as SunTek Reaction PPF").

Sonax car wash shampoo. Great suds for 2 bucket wash. Low viscosity makes it easy to pour and mix in cold temperatures. Made in Germany, like my car!

This thread would be a perfect topic for a servicing, cleaning, and detailing forum.

any good name brand will suffice.
find one you like the smell, price etc..
then use it and wash properly.
Good bucket with grit guard on bottom to hold mitt off bottom is a must.
Good mitt that is SOFT and CLEAN.
Proper technique - Start from top and work way down - plenty of suds - out of sun - do not let dry
Fo more see Autopia forums and manufacturer websites for good info
