I really like all optimum products I have used except this car wash. Does not make many suds for me and is not very slick. Has a weird slimy consistency. Does not seem to lubricate well. Much prefer Maxi suds II.

I like this stuff a lot. The suds aren't the absolute best, but they're pretty good and last a while. But it's the slickness, the lubricity that sets it apart.

Great car wash. It has great lubricity and a nice scent. It has some of the frothiest suds I have experienced compared to other car washes. The polymers within the car wash work with with Opti-Seal and Gloss Coat for those times when the vehicle needs a two bucket wash.

It also works well and foam up nice in a foam gun.

Many rave about this but I haven't experienced the level of suds others are claiming and as a result I'm using more product than recommended.

Super lubricating. I used in a Gilmour Foam gun and had some good results. really helps me get off the dirt that can get "stuck on" to my BMW's soft jet black paint. Good shine and mixed with Optimum's Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer when drying leaves the car shining. Highly recommend, especially if you need good lubrication. I will say i think the Chemical Brother's Honey Dew foams a bit better, but for some of the harder dirt i like the Optimum.

Excellent sudsing. Lifts dirt and grime extremely well.I have a black C5 'vette that unfortunately has to spend it's days outside. Just bought a expensive cover for it but in the meantime, I use this car soap religiously. Do yourself a favor though. Get a foaming gun, or what I do. I have a pressure washer with a chemical injector nozzle and just foam the crap out of the car. Wash with a wool wash mitt, blow dry and viola.

I try to leave positive, useful reviews, but with Optimum Car Wash I have to say I would not purchase it again. I used it several times now, diluting as per label. Beyond that dilution (too much water), it lacks bubbles. All dilutions used, I found my skin react and my hands swell up. It also leaves a white film in pooled areas if not dried quickly after rinsing. Back to PoorBoys.

I bought this shampoo to replace CG Mr.Pink for my 2 bucket wash method. I love Mr Pink out of my foam cannon but the suds with a bucket wash are minimal half way through the wash. Optimum to the rescue! This soap for my two bucket wash far exceeded my expectations! Exactly what I wash looking for. I'd like to thank everyone who submits reviews for products. Everyone who wrote a review for this product was spot on! The foam and suds from Optimums car wash looks like liquid marshmallow and has a great smell! I feel much better washing my truck now, knowing that the suds will capture the dirt and easily slide off my paint without scratching it. I highly recommend this for hand washing your vehicle. 5 stars all the way. I used 1.5 ounces per 2.5 gallons of water and still had the same amount of lather at the end of washing my double cab Tundra!

Great lubricity, suds, and cleaning ability! A little goes a long way and it smells very pleasant. This, along with DG 901, will be my go-to shampoos.

Great car shampoo for sure! It has great lubricity, great smell and a little goes a LONG ways. Very easy on your freshly waxed and sealed paint job so no worries of it stripping your hard work. This is the only shampoo I use in my detailing shop!

A friend recommended this to me because he liked it. Bought it and love it. My favorite wash to date. Half of a squirt from the hand pump and the suds will last the whole car wash and some.

Very good stuff. I've been trying many different washes and this easily is at the top of my list. It is safe for my LSP and does not present a problem with the underlying shine.

I have been using PBW Super Slick Suds for awhile and was looking for something new to try. This was a bit cheaper and is on par with PBW. A little goes along way and it smells great! Will buy it again.

One of the best shampoos out there, bar none. Its has really good cleaning ability without weakening the underlying LSP. It has a very nice scent of blueberries and as great lubricity and foam. I little bit goes a long way with this shampoo. I use the it at 1/2oz per gallon of water and it still feels like I'm using too much. I definitely recommend this product!

I've been using Optimum Car Wash for quite sometime now. I love everything about this shampoo. The lubricity, the cleaning action, the suds, the smell, etc. All the cars that come through my detail shop get washed with Optimum Car Wash so that just goes to show what I think of this product.
