I think the best auto-store soap on the market is Gyeon Bathe, but that isn't offered in larger quantities at Repco, just the tiny 400ml bottle.

While I haven't used it for a long time now, I do remember enjoying Meguiar's NXT, which is on clearance at Supercheap at the moment.

If your Repco has stock, Meguiar's Hyper Wash is apparently very good. From what I have learned, it's not pH neutral, leaning slightly alkaline at around 8.5 or so. Super thick like NXT though, making it harder to measure out.

And, against my normal Chemical Guys stance, their soaps are apparently very good. I have a mate who swears by Honeydew Snow Foam, and Mr. Pink is good also.

Like the Meg's though, the CG soaps are pretty overpriced for what they are. When you look at what NV Snow offers for the money, even when shipping is factored in, it's such a remarkable product for price and performance.
Polar blast
I used it on my ute, although as i said it was hardly dirty as not been driven, worked well.

But on the missus car, it battled to removed much if anything.

Lesson learned.
Ill order some more NV Snow next week, ive loved the results its delivered. Even on missus car thats driven daily i agree its one of the best ive used.

The foam wash isnt 'too' bad ill admit. But had its work cut out on a dirty car, and the foaming aspect wasnt that great.
