Default Optimum Car soap

Whats everyone's opinion on Optimum car soap? I've used almost all their products but this one. How much do you use in say 3 gallons of h2o?

Thanks,
Heath

Amazing. It is Super-Slick (A bit more slicker than duragloss) and leaves a beautiful shine.
I highly recommend it. Detailed a Lancer Evolution X with my friend HAN and it turned out amazing. It's the soap I use on my car and what he uses as well.
You need about 1oz (30ml) (1 little medicine cup full) per gallon of water. We use about 4.5 oz everytime we wash. If you are using the foam gun the foam it generates is ridiculous. I would recommend filling the bucket with 3 gallons of H2O and then adding the soap and foaming it up, otherwise it will be all foam.

It smells good it, I want to it...

Optimum Car Wash is very nice and slick. I'm glad I picked up a gallon of it. Interesting banana smell too...it's pleasant.

Still waiting to hear Gemini's thoughts on it...

I'd be surprised if you didn't like it Cooter.
