1. Majestic Solutions Ultra Gloss.

2. Pros: Very slippery. Can produce lots of suds, depending on how you mix it. For big suds, I set the hose nozzle to something with a lot of velocity, and hold the hose a foot above the water line in the bucket. Smells nice enough. Leaves paint feeling nice and slick.

3. Cons: None for me. This place is local in Raleigh and mixes a lot of their own chemicals. They say they sell over the internet, but I've never tried that. So, it might be considered "hard to get" for some people.

4. 1 Griot's ultimate wash bucket, one standard bucket, brightly colored MF wash mit
