Review on 🚘 Meguiar’s Hyper-Wash – Premium Foaming Car Wash Removes Dirt and Enhances Gloss – D11001, 1 Gallon by John Surabhi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A real appraisal from a professional detailer. What really matters.

This soap is simply good. It seems like most reviews are based on how much the soap lathers or how smooth it feels. These properties don't matter if it's very good at removing dirt. #1 as a pre-foam - lathers really well, but who cares. It is very suitable for cleaning because it has a neutral pH. However, the results don't really seem to be that much better than Meguiar's own gold-grade shampoo. Therefore 3 stars for the preview. #2 as a bucket wash - the economy here is among the best as the directions state you only need 1 ounce of the product in a 5 gallon bucket. It's pretty amazing. Again, its cleaning power is average for a soap with a neutral pH. It cleans better than Meguiar's gold-class shampoo on contact washing. I'm interested in this because it has similar properties when soaked. The ingredients should work differently depending on the time. For that I give 3 stars. *Note* I should mention that my contact conditioner is very soft, I don't squeeze the glove just enough to maintain contact. This is how it should be done to avoid swirl marks, so a good shampoo should provide both gliding and cleaning power to get the job done safely and properly without having to go through the same spot twice or MORE in some cases. #3 Economic value is where this product shines. 1 ounce per 5 gallon pail really couldn't be better. It foams a lot and does not flake off. But then again, these things don't matter, instead of my personal opinion and needs. Definitely 5 stars for that. #4 Ease of Use - This product is of medium thickness. It's not as irritating as Meguire's Gold Class, but not watery like ceramic shampoo. I use it with a pump and it's decent. However, measuring in a beaker is annoying as it sticks to the walls and requires running water to wash away soap scum, wasting time; although not as bad as the Mega Gold class. Smells good. Overall, it works MUCH better than other shampoos. I really don't understand how people rate other products so highly as most of them do nothing to clean.
