Which one would u use for normal car washing soap. I want to try one of these three. I will also be putting it in my foam gun that I bought at Autogeek this past weekend while attending the Details Fest


Hyper Wash D110 (400:1)
Shampoo Plus D111 (128:1)
Super Soap D112 (doesnt say)


I was thinking Hyper Wash if I'm using the Foam gun b/c of the ratio but what do you guys think?

 

Hyperwash you'll have to cut down like crazy. It'll be hard to get the correct ratio. Where as other soaps that are 128:1 or even 256:1 will be much easier to do the ratio. With 128:1, you can fill the entire canister with soap and just use the correct setting. With 256:1 you can cut the canister 1:1 and use the same setting to achieve the 256:1. 400:1 would be harder to figure out. I don't know if that matters to you or not. Hyperwash is more cost effective. For routine washes I think Shampoo Plus sounds like a better option. Maybe Super Soap if you plan to do any polishing since it doesn't contain any glossing agents like Shampoo Plus.

 

Does Hyperwash have glossing agents? I remember I bought some last summer to use on customers' cars and I was surprised at how well it work for the little amount I added. I was thinking about buying some more since I ran out of my sampler to use for customers again.

 

ESF thanks. Remember that I came to the Meguiars class this weekend so I asked Mike. I'm going to go with Hyper wash for the Foam gun b/c you have to fill it 3/4 with water then the rest with hyperwash. I have sleepy right now and I think that is what he said. I'm going to ask him again on the megs forum. Also I have pics for you guys.

 

ESF then again I may buy them both and try them both, hyper wash and shampoo plus.

 

There you go. Stimulate the economy.

 

lol

 

Hyperwash is my go to for traditional washes if i'm not using onr which is rare.

Pick up the pump for the gallon.. It makes it a million times easier. Rick at ADS has the pump tops.

 

esf I'm going to take you advice and pick up either Shampoo Plus or Super Soap. I spoke to Megs tech support and they recommend Super Soap but I was wondering which one would you go with.

 

I would probably go with shampoo plus for it's glossing agents. If you had a lot of customers that you would be doing correction afterwards then probably the super soap so nothing was left behind to interfere with the polishing. It may be a minor thing but if you can avoid making anything more difficult on yourself then I'm all for it.

 

I actually do this for myself. I don've have customers, lol. I mean here and there I will do a family member car but its usually just mine and my girlfriends. Do you happen to know what the ratio is for Super Soap? I'm going to give Shampoo Plus a try. I take it that I can just put the soap in the bottle with no water and play with the settings from there

 

I use Super Soap in my foam gun for most of my washes. HyperWash is too strong for my liking.

 

Have you ever tried Shampoo Plus

 

That's why I said If you had customers. If you had customers you would be doing a lot more correction. Since you don't have customers, I would go with something that would provide slightly better looks from just a wash.

I can't find the dilution ratio for Super Soap anywhere. Hwm3 should be able to give yo that since he uses it he should have a container on hand. That said, if the dilution ration is 1oz to a gallon of water you can use the 1/128 setting on the foam gun and straight soap. I have PB's SS&S in my foam gun right now and for a normal wash it's recommended 1oz to every 2 gallons of water so I use the 1/128 setting but the soap in the foam gun canister is mixed 1:1. Combined it should be right on (or close considering for 1:1 I'm confident enough to just eyeball it.)

 

esf I appreciate it and I'm going to go with Shampoo Plus like you recommended but I'm also curious as to what the ratio is for Super Soap.
