Suds aren't the best, but then again, sud's mean nothing.
yeah man, I just washed it again tonight...even more depth. I am so amazed by this product...kinda the way I felt when I first used menzerna polishes and swissvax waxes!

haven't used it but its more of a "really sudsy" soap right? (the kind that leaves behind a slight film felt by the fingertips after a dry down)

Is the dilution ration the standard one ounce per gallon?

I'd have to say ONR is really a different product from a basic car wash soap, it's a bucket waterless wash system.

I think any shampoo can remove wax if overly concentrated. For weekly washes, I think CWG should be diluted around 1/2oz to a full oz. Not that much is needed, it is very lubricated.

Try to use Pearls concentrated on a sponge after a wash. Rinse and let it bead/sheet!

I've become really used to use the zaino shampoo because of how slippery it is.. How does this compare? Also where can you buy it?
