None of us drive expensive enough vehicles for the kind of soap you buy to matter.
Also for my interior, I throw dish soap in a spray bottle diluted 20:1. Shit works just as well as any other product out there and leaves no streaks on anything.

I prefer the green variety with the wax. Great stuff. I use that or Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All.

It's also just convenience of application with waterless stuff, if you're just touching up to remove some rain spots but don't want to take the time to do a full wash.

Detailing in general is culty. I live in the city and dont have a hose in my apartment garage so its the only option unless I go to an automatic wash operated by third worlders for $30 or an uncovered DIY spray station at the corner of a gas station where I'd get heckled by hoods and homeless.
They say this stuff also makes a good interior detailer. Cool. Rather buy one thing than 35 different products like a reddit sperg.
When I have a hose available I prefer regular car soap but chemists tell me a lot of the foaming action in commercial soaps are excessive and basically theater to make consumers think the soap is working more. To dissolve grime you dont need as much lather as you think.

Just buy a handpump foam cannon and rinseless wash. Spray that shit, dry it off with a microfiber, done. Takes like 10 minutes.

Interdasting, thanks, didn't know this existed.
>Takes like 10 minutes
Big if true. I may wash more than once every 3 months then if I don't have to carry 2 home depot buckets of water to the elevator anymore.

I think of it more as my maintenance mode washing. I do it every couple of weeks, then bring out the pressure washer only every couple of months.

I always hated detailing when it meant using a buffer and having crusty white wax in every nook, this modern shit is amazing and barely takes more effort than drying a car.
I'm guessing "real" detailers would still say I'm doing everything wrong since I'm not paying someone $500 for some warrantied "real" ceramic coating however. Haven't got into clay bar or paint corrections either though I doubt I need it.
Whatever it is, it can't be as culty as the oil dudes and the Amsoil/MLM stans (shit's like a male Avon).

Or you can just choose a brand that is officially approved for use by Royal Families, Police and Ambulances

Foam cannons are kinda a meme though.
Can't clean anything without physical scrubbing.

>>28977291
Official product of the Prince Andrew Bikini Wash. I wouldn't trust teenaged girls with that shit, frankly; they'd just drop the sponge, bend over all seductively, and then just use it on your car, fucking up your paint.

The foam is only there for 2 reasons. It clings to the surface longer so it gives the soap more time to break shit down, and because it has air bubbles they can trap dirt in it and drag it down with it as it slides off.

You can do maintnence washes with a foam cannon but if you're properly detailing you should be doing the whole >rinse > foam cannon > rinse > wash mitt + bucket > rinse > dry.

>My car will get scratched to shit because I'm not using your rebottled made in china shit thats $60 per oz

$15 mcgeuirs works more than just fine.
