    Thinking about buying some wash soap from chemical guys but dont know which one..

    Here are a few of my options:
    HoneyDew Snow Foam- Premium Auto Wash -It's Foam Party Time (1 Gal)
    EXTREME BodyWash & Synthetic Wax/Gloss Enhancer -SHAMPOO (1 Gallon)
    Maxi-Suds II ~SUPER SUDS SHAMPOO-Superior Surface Shampoo (1 Gal)

    Help me out guys, i need a wash i can use weekly, without stripping any wax/sealants, maybe even enhance.
    Am leaning towards the honey dew snow foam since i am using a foamer and that wash soap seems really good.

    I bought some of the Honeydew to try and was very impressed with it. It foams well, has small wet suds, good lubricity and smells nice. Seems to rinse clean easily as well. Highly recommended. Have tried Maxi Suds as well and its very nice as well. Tough to beat the price.

    You cannot beat CG soaps for the value, ive used Maxi Sudz and Citrus daily and like both, citrus is a little more gentle then maxisudz and is perfect for maintenance washes.

    Maxi Suds is great. Never used the other 2 though.

    I really love chemical guys car washes. I have used the Snow foam alot lately in a foam cannon and its awesome. It washes off quite easier then maxi-suds and to me seems alittle more gentle then it as well.

    I like Honey Dew. It's the only CG soap I've used but it's a nice soap.

    I've got Citrus daily, honeydew snow foam, citrus wash+gloss, glossworkz, and maxi-suds.

    Of all those, I like citrus daily and glossworkz the most. Honeydew snow foam is great too!

    You can't really go wrong with any of them.

    Citrus daily contains no gloss enhancers which is good if you're just going to clay/polish anyway and in stronger dilutions, it can aid in stripping wax.

    Honeydew is awesome in foam cannons as well as a maintenance wash.

    Glossworkz is great for just washing your car but it's the priciest of them all

    is maxi suds PH neutral? or will it strip wax? i have hyper wash from megs and use it when the car is heavily soiled but can tell the next time i wash that it doesnt have the same water sheeting ability..Leaning towards glossworkz or maxi..My adams shampoo is low and need to buy some new shampoo :thumb:

    From what I've observed, any time you's more soap than what is recommended, you will strip wax despite being pH neutral or not

    I do believe maxi-suds is pH neutral

    Have used wash a gloss and just picked up maxi suds for gilmour gun. Been using optimum for awhile but decided to go a different route. Can't wait to pick up a Kranzle so I can foam the 'right' way lol

    citrus wash and gloss hands down a great soap at an incredible bang for buck if you google son1c synopsis wash gloss my review on it should come up
    I'm not the biggest fan of glossworkz however many love it
    I've really been enjoying wolfs white satin as of lately and I would definitely recommend checking it out, and its lsp safe!

    Foam gun user here. HoneyDew works better than MSII. MSII is slicker but it is harsher then HoneyDew. Citrus Wash and Gloss (stripper) is so so. I just prefer using dish soap and or APC for LSP stripping.
