Default What brand of car wash/shampoo are you guys using?

I've been using P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo, and it's great, but I need to wash the car this weekend and I'm all out. I've only been able to mail order it, as I can't seem to find it locally in the SF Bay Area, CA.

Ideas on other comparable products?

Default I rarely use wax . . . I am more concerned with getting contaminants off the paint . . .

since I do a #7 glaze and sometimes wax about once a month I am not concerned.

Default I imagine you already know this, but glaze is not a substitute for wax.

Default Ha! I was going say P21S, until I read the body of the message!

In a pinch, I'll go to the store and get any old car wash soap they have.
