Adam's PolishesCar Wash Shampoo (Gallon) - pH Best Car Wash Soap For Snow Foam Cannon or Gun For Pressure Washer & 5 Gallon Bucket, Powerful Safe Spot Free Cleaning Liquid Auto Detergent

I'm a 57 year old detailer with over 40 years of experience. I've used about every car shampoo out there, but I keep coming back to the original Adam's and to CGs Maxi-Suds II .Both are simple car shampoos that do exactly what they are meant to do . This old school Adam's shampoo is just a no nonsense car wash that has a few paint brighters in it without being full of gimmicky waxes ( I do not like wash-n-wax car washes, they are garbage) yet cleans well .This really isn't meant for foam cannons, but works well enough in them. If you want a great foam cannon pre-wash use CarPro lift instead.Do NOT let this dry on your vehicle panels, I don't care what any brand claims, all brands will spot or leave residue if you don't use some common sense and keep the vehicle wet while washing.It smells great, is budget friendly ( if bought in the gallon size ) it produces great bubbles if used in a bucket wash , and if you are using it in a foam cannon while using an electric pressure washer, change your foam cannons orifice from a 1:2 to a 1:1 for shaving cream foam results.There are plenty of videos on YouTube that will show you how to change your foam cannon orifice.If I keep going back to it and I wash both normal and high dollar supercars then you know it works. Adam's is a reputable name in the detailing industry and there is a reason behind that, It's because Adam's works.Pro tip: during cold weather, bring Adam's ( or any other car wash ) indoors in a climate controlled room or it may freeze, separating the chemicals in the shampoo that will turn it into jello.

So what can you really write about soap... well, probably more than you would want to read here in the case of this car wash ("shampoo"). I'll try to keep this as brief as possible.Let me start with the only negative critiques I have for this product: there needs to be a dye and scent free version, and this soap is on the expensive side. There it is.What about the good? First of all, I bought this due to the fact there are too many automotive soaps that are not well-formulated to protect convertible tops, while still cleaning the other surfaces - and every thing I researched showed this was gentle on tops while still being an excellent cleaning agent. My research included numerous reviews, and information I received from the manufacturer.Too many car wash soaps have a lot of unnecessary ingredients that you should never apply to a soft top. In fact - most automotive soaps on the market are more marketing than cleaning agents. This particular automotive soap is simply a great cleaning agent that effectively removes what you don't want on your car, while protecting what you want left on your car (wax, finish treatment - etc). This soap provides the right amount of suds and cleaning action - better than any other automotive soap I have used before. I have used every other major high-end product currently available, but this is by far the best soap I have used to date. Even though it has some dye and some added scent - it seems they are less in proportion than other major brands. There is too much emphasis on how good a cleaning agent smells, or how pretty the color is, than how well it cleans. I would prefer there was no scent, or that the only scent was the unadulterated smell of the chemicals used to make the cleaning agents. I could care less if it was an unattractive color - as long as that was the 'natural' color of the cleaning agents. What I care about is how well it cleans and that it doesn't damage my finish or hurt my convertible top over time. It accomplishes the main functions very well. I would just like the version that doesn't have any unnecessary ingredients that are added for marketing.

You want a great soap for washing the grime off your car? This is it. Gentle and effective. I use it as a body wash too. JK. Great carwash soap!

I jumped on this because it went on sale for 30 bucks and just wanted a good car shampoo for when I do the occasional bucket wash or for when I clean my tires and wheels. I tried 2 oz in a foam cannon and the foam was very thin and runny. I imagine if I added 4 oz it would of been closer to their Mega foam. But for my use it will work just fine. I have the Technicians choice Grape and Glow and Turtle Wax slick and slide that blow this a way when used in a foam cannon and are less expensive. This is normally 50 bucks but it feels like 30 bucks would be more justifiable. It smells good and gets my wheels and tires clean.

I experimented buying all different car wash soaps over the years, so many really expensive ones would lose all their suds and bubbles after a few minutes and just not feel like they were really cleaning anything well. I decided try this soap and noticed a difference just in the way it poured out, noticeable thickness of the liquid, it really is super concentrated and a little bit will go a long way. So much bubbles it overflowed the water bucket with bubbles, so I had to adjust how much product to use and use less than maybe a tablespoon in a 3 gallon bucket.I could feel the soap on the wash rag, smells great, I noticed an improvement in the cleaning and shine with this soap. The car felt cleaner than any other soap I have tried, removed more grime and kept its foam and bubbles the whole time I was washing.I highly recommend this car shampoo, I now only use this on all my rides!

Excellent

Adam's is well known for making quality products and their Car Wash Shampoo is no exception. It foams really well even as a hand wash and leaves a great finish and luster to the surface. This is all we use now after trying several other popular store-bought brands.

Very foamy and does a very good job cleaning. I definitely will continue to buy this car wash cleaner.
