It's like wax and water beading in that beading does not automatically = protection. I'm sure Z7 is a great product, I just would not judge it based on the suds.

My bet is there will still be enough suds in that bucket for at least one wash!!

Default Ok...I see your point, however....

It has always been by understanding that the suds aid in lifting the soil both off the paint and from the wash mitt.

From the Zaino site:
<i>Z-7�,,� Show Car Wash is a concentrated blend of special cleaners, conditioners and our famous Show Car Polish ingredients that clean and enhance the gloss of painted surfaces. Z-7�,,� Show Car Wash gently cleans your car without using harsh detergents, alkali or acids. Plus, our special water-based lubricants buffer the paint to prevent scratching and reduce the risk of swirl marks, even on black and red cars.

Our unique formula produces loads of suds, even in hard water conditions. And, the suds last and last. With Z-7�,,� Show Car Wash, you won't have flat wash water before you're finished washing your car.

To keep your car looking its best, Z-7�,,� Show Car Wash includes Ultra-Gard�,,� UV(40), to renew protection from the sun's harmful rays, and several polymer ingredients from our Show Car Polish systems. You will love the results.</i>

From Proper Auto Care:
<i>Use a car wash shampoo specifically formulated for automotive use. Look for a shampoo containing surface conditioners and/or natural oils. These oils act as a lubricant. Sand and abrasive grit slide off in the rinse water without scratching the surface. These shampoos cost a little more but are worth every penny if you own a dark color car.</i>

If I stick my hand into the suds in the Zaino shampoo, and rub, the suds are as slick as the water...more so. I stick my hand in the P21s bucket and it is cold water. No lubrication.

That's all the proof I need. YMMV.

Default Someone stole your P21S water overnight!

That must be the better of the two if they chose to steal it!
