What do you guys use to wash your car?

what soap do you use to wash your car. I have been using zaino, went to use it, and it turned into gel in the bottom of my bottle, but ehh.... its only 4 years old

Any cheap suggestions until I get back into Zaino again.

I've been using McGuiars crystal something or other , seems to work pretty well. I also get a new sheepskin mitt every year and use the good one on my car, and my used one on others cars or my winter truck. It's still good, but i'd rather use new on my beast

Meguiar's Deep Crystal Concentrate. Step up to the Gold Class Wash if you don't mind spending a few more $$$.

I used to use Meguiar's soap but since I've used Zaino I won't go back.

I usually buy whatever wonder-wash is on sale. It's been Zip Wax Car Wash for the last couple of years. It's safe for all types of paint, gets really sudsy, and it has a good smell.

Best carwash, don't laugh until you try it, Pantene pro V 2 in 1 with a capful of olive oil. Laugh now, post up results after you try it.
