So many options out there... what do you guys use for just a basic car wash?

Meguiers Gold Class $7 on Amazon for a 64oz bottle.

I really love Meguiar's Hyper Wash and Optimum Car Wash.

Meguiars ultimate wash and wax

I love using it.

Another vote for Optimum Car Wash

I use Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II. I love the smell, but some people seem to hate it. Super slick soap, I have gone through 2 gallons over the past years. Definitely my go-to

I would like one which produces a lot of foam w a cannon.

I really like Limitless lather by limitless car care, i purchased Mr.Pink by chemical guys at the same time and limitless lather is my favorite, leaves a nice gloss after you dry the car. I use both of those with my foam cannon. For a cheap wash Meguiars Gold Class works.

Sometimes Costco has it for $11/gallon.

I have been using Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II since 2008. The same gallon!! I like the cherry scent and it suds up nice and is slick. My only complaint is that it often leaves a film behind on the windows (I must not rinse it well enough).

Another one for chemical guys - I personally prefer citrus wash n gloss. Its great both in a bucket wash or fired out a snow foam lance. A tiny bit goes a LONG way.

I've been thinking, when my Maxi Suds is done, to get some Wash N Gloss. It looks like one cap would be enough for a 5 gallon bucket, plus a stronger concentration for detail work.
