I found the perfect shampoo!
Everyone MUST get some 1Z perls shampoo!!!!!!
I got some in yesterday from Phil@DD, washed the M3....WOW!  this stuff is the best shampoo I've ever used! extremely slick, suds just enough. Not too much but it does sud up. I will probably use this stuff from now on for my maintenance shampoo..oh yeah and it made the water bead up tighter after the final rinse I know it says on the label it adds depth and protection AND I BELIEVE IT!!!! EVERYONE ORDER SOME NOW FROM PHIL!!!!!

Pearlz is awesome! I use it on my wife's car and it has never stopped beading, it looks like it adds a layer of gloss each time you use it. Also, you can let it dry on the paint, hit it with a hose, and it washes clear off with no residue, very user friendly.
Suds aren't the best, but then again, sud's mean nothing.

ampbmw, what other soaps have you used in the past? I have been contemplating trying the Perls. I have used a few different one's from Meg's, poorboys, simoniz, fk1, and a couple others.

1Z perls is a terrific shampoo, it does give extra gloss, depth and some protection, however it has a chemical smell and I find Driven to Perfection Protective sealant wash and Driven Quick spray mixed 70/30 to be even better as it does not remove any slickness from the paint at all, doesn't make the trims go spotty and best of all, has lots of protection from the quick spray and the wash
Prima Mystique is my #2 However I don't wet wash much anymore, I switched to Style Magic fruit and vegetable based aussie made waterwise wash recently for cleaning most of my car The wheel arches, wheels, tyres and bottom of doors get done with mystique or driven

How do these shampoos stack up vs ONR? Phil set me up with a gallon of ONR about six months ago and I've been sold on it.
The best I can determine is that the dirt gets trapped in the water beads and half removed by the pad (Schmitt in my case) and half by your MF drying towel. Real amazing item. I have a single stage black paint and after I do a final perfection cut I'll be watching like a hawk for wash-introduced swirls. But I take it real easy on the wash, using only the weight of the mitt to remove the dirt. In my case, it's usually just "rait dirt". I really like the concept of ORN and don't really like getting out the hose and I've yet to invest in any type of foam cannon. Although they look cool, I'm more after results.

I haven't tried the 1Z shampoo yet as I have been using ONR alot. I have been pleased with all of the 1z products I have tried though so I'll have to give it a shot. Wonder if DD has it by the gallon.
