Default what is a good soap to use?

looking to wash say once every few weeks so nothing that will take off too much wax?

what do you suggest?

i know a lot of people suggest dawn for complete wax removal but what else comes close?

i was planning on trying the p21s car conditioning soap

My favorite shampoo for the stook is Zaino Z7. Tried quite a few, incluing P21s, meguiars gold class, and CG. Z7 suds like it is noones business.

I use Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner. It's very common at automotive stores.

The poorboys makes copious suds with a very small amount and will make more with a shot from the hose when low. plus it has lots of lubricity which is key to help prevent swirls from washing!

Of all the stuff I have used locally available, the Meguiers Gold Class does the best for me and keeps the swirls down.
