Out of Mystic

Can anyone recommend a product for washing the car that is like Mystic. I am out and I want to wash my baby. Something that can be bought at Pep Boys, etc. I have plenty of Hydro for drying. Thanks.

I've not had anyone yelling at me too loudly for using Mequiar's Gold Class car wash soap.

Of course you could always order more Mystique...

I have been alternating between Mystique and Griots. But you would need to order both.

Gold Class is fine, although NXT Car Wash is closer in function to Mystique due to its polymers in the wash.

*Just remember that the soaps you buy at parts stores (including any of the Megs soaps above) are going to be much less concentrated so you'll have to use quite a bit more than Mystique per wash.

+2 ?? LOL

Good point! Meguiar's soaps require 1oz of soap per gallon of water where as Prima's are less than half that amount. Like Black Wow, don't judge a product by the size of the container it comes in. =)
