Hi , does anyone here use meguairs gold class shampoo and the ultimate spray wax , is it good and how many cars can you wash in total , it says 64oz , so I'm assuming 64 washes?

AZuser

Instructions say to use 1 oz of shampoo per 1 gallon of water. If you think you can wash your car with only 1 gallon of water, then yes you'll be able to get 64 washes out of it.

I use about 3 oz per 4 to 4.5 gallons of water.

Yeah, one gallon won't be enough for a wash. I use 4 to 5 gallons in my wash bucket.

Ok nice, but when you dilute it , do you use cold or hot water does it matter, and how many caps of the solution would equal 1 oz if you were to measure it?

AZuser

I use water straight from the garden hose so the water is cool.

I don't measure how much soap I put in anymore. I just pour the soap into a 5 gallon bucket (eyeballing it), fill it with 4-4.5 gallons of water, drop in a grit guard, and go. It's around 0.75 oz to 1 oz per 1 gallon of water.

I get them in 128 oz jugs and since they're so cheap (the last 2 I got were under $10), I don't worry about getting exact measurements.

If you follow a similar mix ratio using a 5 gallon bucket, you'll get about 16-18 cars from a 64 oz bottle.

If your concern is cost, use Meg's Hyper Wash

I only use 2 gal to wash my car ... OP don't chinz out on wash soap or proper drying .. that's where marring comes from. I use CG citric , 1 oz /4 gal ratio. Also had good luck for years using TW soap which I would buy in the US for $5/gal. but at 3 oz/2.5 gal.

Meguiars I find too expensive up here.

Can you buy meguairs stuff at Costco?

How would you compare ultimate wash and wax with gold class , if you use U&WW do you still need to spray wax your car? I'm want to know which one is better because at crappytire the UW&W is on sale ?

IMO, I would not skip out on waxing because I am using a soap with wax.
I would not skip out on waxing because I am using a spray wax.

Theoretically, yes, there should be no reason to wax if you maintain it every week or so but durability would be a question.
Combo items and spray wax in general are more for their aesthetics factors than for protection IMO.

Personally, I use designated item for each job whenever I can.

If you're shopping at CT I highly recommend trying out AutoGlym's line of products.

I use the Gold Class wash. Lasts me a while but I don't wash my car every week and it's going to vary with my new job. My dad got a hose nozzle from Harbor Freight with a small container to fill with soap that screws into the nozzle and sprays a mixture of soap and water. Works well for me. I've only used their Cleaner Wax so I can't speak about any of their other kinds.
