Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions.

This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Last year I purchased a large bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax and had good luck, but between the Box and my Wifes car and my daily driver I just used the last up.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was curious which car wash concentrate you guys use and perhaps why? Last year I purchased a large bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax and had good luck, but between the Box and my Wifes car and my daily driver I just used the last up. Thanks Dwight

POST 2Original post

Meguaire's Deep Crystal Car Wash works great for my Box and the tougher dirt on my Jeep Wrangler.Very concentrated and little needed.

POST 3Original post

I have been using the Turtle Wax concentrate. More or less what ever is on sale!

POST 5Original post

I use whatever is cheapest at Meijers. A few years back during the cold ugly winter I watched a series of videos on Youtube by a guy who calls himself Junkman. I ended up following his advice and bought a Porter Cable 7424XP and was totally astonished by the results. Worth a watch:
