Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash 64 oz Liquid Wash
In stock
pH-neutral car shampoo. pH neutral, so it does not strip existing wax or sealant
Direct answer: is the Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash 64 oz Liquid Wash right for you?
pH neutrality is the specification and it addresses the commonest car care mistake: household detergent and dish soap are alkaline and strip wax in a single wash, which is why a freshly waxed car stops beading after a month of being washed with whatever was under the sink.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: pH neutrality is the specification and it addresses the commonest car care mistake: household detergent and dish soap are alkaline and strip wax in a single wash, which is why a freshly waxed car stops beading after a month of being washed with whatever was under the sink.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone expecting it to add protection — it cleans, it does not protect. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Checked the weight claim
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Weight". The page says 1.9 litres, and that is what turned up. pH neutral, so wax and sealant survive the wash.

Happy with it, but go in informed
pH neutral, so wax and sealant survive the wash. The one thing to know before ordering: Adds no protection of its own. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Does the one thing I bought it for
pH neutral, so wax and sealant survive the wash. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: About 60 washes per bottle at correct dilution. Been using it now for six weeks.
