I have the same issues with wash and wax formulas. The wax mixture dillutes the cleaning power of the soap.

I cleaned my fiance's car the other day with the TW ceramic wash and wax and had the same issue cleaning panels. It does leave pretty good intial protection with beading/sheeting for a one stop solution. I just worry it'll scratch paint more easily.

I don't remember the last time i had to scrub my paint. If you need to do that you probably need to use a better sealant/wax/whatever. Everything just melts off my car when i douse it in water. Griots ceramic spray is some seriously impressive stuff. These new fangled spray waxes are just amazing.

Most of the time i just spray my car down with a hose and drive to work and let it air dry. No water spots except here and there on the glass, which you can hit with Invisible Glass.

Bought some of this at Costco, good stuff. I'm impressed in the regards it's better than the red stuff I have. Shh, I'm finishing up that stuff on the wife's truck.

It is indeed good if you want to do a quick wash/wax. I would still recommend your favorite soap when it comes to deep cleaning, Gold Wash from Meguiars in my case when I want to do a full detail a few weeks after just doing Polymer Washes with no graphene wax.

I usually do the same thing as you and use gold wash since it foams up a storm (I like a lot of foam) and leaves me with a clean car to deal with when applying sealer or wax. And now I want to buy a new car. I'm thinking of getting a loan, but to get a car loan, you need to have a high credit score. Many banks refuse to give a car loan because of a low credit rating. Reading earnin review by Fit My Money on how to choose the best lender helped me. Then you can take the necessary steps.

About half way through the bottle now. I agree, it's not a deep cleaning soap product for detail prep. But I do like the water repellency it provides through PNW valley rainy winters when your car never stays clean long. I wash it once or twice a month, maybe.

Wish I had bought a few jugs of these while Costco still had it. Finished my first bottle and can say I have been satisfied.

I believe Costco should have a new one, but this one is from Turtle Wax. I've only used it once, but the results are just about the same as the Polymer wash. Good for some light washing in between wax periods.

I did see this yesterday. Thanks.
If it goes on a slight sale, I'll get it for sure. I do have other soaps I'll be trying out in the meantime. It's really never ending but I have my go-to products

I actually used it yesterday and I didn't notice it the first time, but it smells like a piña colada lol. All I keep thinking while foaming the car was how much I need my beach vacation to come sooner.
