    I have a gallon of CG Citrus Wash and although i strictly keep to the dilution..i figure my truck never gets dirty enough to need CW. I am looking for a great shampoo for weekly washes that wont be so hard on my LSP..i know citrus wash wont strip as long as i keep the dlution correct but i just dont want it taking its toll after about 3 washes or so.....so to my question....what is your favorite weekly wash shampoo...im interested in Duragloss 901 and CG Extreme BodyWash....any ideas...i would like to be able to buy in bulk if possible

    I think you answered your own question: Duragloss 902 it is! That is the gallon version I believe of 901.

    I still use CG Citrus Wash but even at one ounce per 5 gallons, it can be a *little* harsh. Nothing to fret over though. I'm almost out of my gallon but will be ordering another one soon. That stuff is the best.

    My current fav is Optimum Shampoo (not ONR, the shampoo). I also really like the DG product.

    I like Duragloss 902 (same product as 901, but 902 denotes gallon size) a lot. Pretty slick, cleans well, etc.

    Does everything a good soap should do.

    Johnson's Baby Shampoo? and you only use it WEEKLY??? I guess you don't need good personal grooming habits to get some love :hug: if you've got a Lambo...

    j/k - couldn't resist.

    So Optimum and DG seem to be at a consensus....i really like the idea of a glossing agent in the shampoo because of the shine i get after using CW and so that is why i had my eye on Extreme Bodywash.....are the lubricity of the DG and Opt comparable or which one is better?

    I read that the dilution for DG is 1 ounce to 3 gallons of water

    Extreme Body wash is 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water....

    Optimum seems to be "1 ounce or less per gallon of water"

    Is it smart to judge the "harshness" of a soap by its dilution rate or no?

    To be serious I like both Poorboy's Super Slick & Suds or Duragloss 901.

    PB SS&S recomends 1 oz to 2 gallans of water

    DG 901 recomends 1 oz to 3 gallons of water

    I would go with DG 901/902 as well. I just got a gallon of it and it seems good so far. It also foams great too .

    I think Optimum is the slickest shampoo I've ever used, slicker than DG or PB SS&S.

    I recently ordered a gallon of Adam's car wash after trying ti and several others. I agree that the DG 901 would be great for a car that doesn't get that direty. P21s and Prima Mystique seem to be a little more on the "cleaner" side of things for when you have a real dirty one.
