I think I have posted this here before, but for those of you who may not have seen it the first time....

I have tried almost every kind of car wash solution on the market. None of them seemed to stay sudsy and none of them would really clean the finish while still being gentle. So one day I walked into my local BMW dealership because I needed some parts for my 745i (since sold) and happened to pick up a bottle of "Original BMW Autoshampoo". This stuff is the best I have ever seen! I've used it now for a couple of years and will never switch. It's about $14 a bottle but lasts you a long time. I wash all of my cars with this soap, and I'm sure it's quite gentle on the paint seeing as how BMW also uses high quality finishes such as Glasurit. Anyhow, if anyone happens to be near a BMW dealership, stop in and do yourself and your car a favor and get a bottle of their car wash solution. I'm sure you'll agree with me.

Thanks for the tip. I have been using McQuires soft wash gel, but it seems to loose its suds quickly. I will give the BMW stuff a shot. Does Mercedes make anything like that? I have only used their interior cleaners before.

Jason,

Yes Mercedes does have a car wash solution. Made by Meguiars. It's not nearly as good as the BMW stuff though.
