Very good
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really good car wash. Smells good and seems to really clean the surface of the vehicle to a slick finish. Happy with car wash.

Super slick suds!
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This shampoo is great -- tons of suds, super slick, and smells good too. I use a one bucket -- many mitts method and had zero problems shampooing my car. The suds glided over the surface and cleaned it with ease. Rinses away easily too. What's not to like? I used a little bit more than Optimum recommends -- about 1.5 oz for two gallons. Will use and buy again. Highly recommended! ... show more

Great car wash shampoo
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great car wash shampoo. I used it in my wash bucket as well as in my foam gun. Its not as sudsy as other car wash shampoos however it does the job well in providing lubricity to gently remove the dirt off your car, preventing marring and scratches when washing your car. It also provides a nice slick surface after the wash. ... show more

Great soap! Someone got fired for how much I paid for it!
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First off, there was a glitch in the matrix. Amazon had it at $2.91 for 32 oz one day and I just happened to see it. I bought two, should have bought 10. It was back up over $15 the next day. Someone got fired for that for sure. This checks off every box for me. Worked great in the foam cannon, great cleaning power, super lubricated, rinsed off super easy, and if it matters to you it does smell like blueberries or raspberries, nice scent. Probably my greatest purchase on Amazon for the price but it really is a great soap. Would absolutely recommend it! ... show more

Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I had been using Chemical Guys soaps almost elusively for about 2 years prior to trying this soap. Initially, I loaded it up into an MTM foam lance and I was disappointed by the lack of foam it produced and for what i perceived to be a lack of lubricity. I put it on the shelf for a little bit and didnt re-use it for a while. The second time I used it I did so with the traditional two bucket method, and I was extremely satisfied. It cleaned better than anything I have ever used from CG, lubricated extremely well and left the car looking better than I was accustomed to with other soaps. My process now involves a Foam soak with a CG soap followed by a two bucket wash with the Optimum Car wash. Buy it, you wont be disappointed. ... show more

Another great product from Optimum!
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I'm definitely a convert to Optimum car care products. I've previously used the ONR no-rinse car wash and this works great with the two-bucket system when the car is not too dirty. I tried this normal car wash for the full hose wash-down when the car is a bit dirtier. They work great to remove the dirt and it feels like it lubricates well when washing the car. I've also tried their spray-on car wax, and the instant detailer product. Both are very easy to use and they leave a nice shine and finish on the vehicle. I'm not paid or affiliated with them in any way. I just think they have great products for car care. I have two black cars in the family, and black cars look awesome when clean but crappy once they get dirty. And with not too much work, the Optimum products help me to keep the vehicles looking nice. ... show more

#1 car wash
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best carwash around. Our car detail guy recommended this to us for in-between detail washes. It is a great find. Easy to use with no sticky residue and dries quickly. A little goes a long way.
