    I need to order a few gallons of car wash tomorrow morning for regular maintenance washes. I know there's a ton of threads on car washes, but I was wondering if anyone has used both and which one they liked more or not really a notable difference? The few bucks difference doesn't really matter. Thanks!

    I got the CWC, it's a fabulous car wash and foams like mad, super slippery and smells great too. You can dilute it for either a maintanence wash or use it as a paintwork cleanser to remove built up grime or old wax.

    i have and use both relatively regularly lately. for maintenance washes and not stripping off protection, i would go with optimum wash all the way. its super slick, and smells just great. i love using it.

    Optimum Car Wash is very nice. This is what I use as a maintenance wash. I also have CWC and use it for LSP stripping/pre-cleaner type applications.

    Am I using too much CWC when doing paintwork cleansing at 10oz per 5 gallon?

    Pretty sure thats too much. Forgot what the recommended ratio was.

    The ratio was 2oz per gallon, so thats 10oz, but to me that felt like WAY too much

    I recently bought CWC and I love it ... I'm sure that the oz. ratio for LSP stripping is 2oz per gallon, so 10oz for a 5 gallon bucket is correct.

    My next purchase is either going to be the Valugard AB or the Optimum Car Wash even though I know they serve different purposes.

    i thought i was doing something wrong when i poured 10oz into a measuring cup before putting it into a 5 gallon bucket, felt like over kill since the normal maintinance wash requires only 1/2oz per 2 gallons.
