Pinnacle Body Shampoo. It has coconut oils that bond to dirt and grime which helps to prevent paint marring when washing car. Alil pricey but suds are good and the lubricity of it is awesome. The smell of coconuts is yummy too.

Personally if you plan on doing a complete detailing of the car, I use dawn liquid dish detergent that way I can strip off most of the old wax, then come back wtih a claybar, cleaner wax then carnuba wax. Just don't use dawn if you don't plan on re-waxing your car.

the black magic stuff is terrible in my experience. the other otc wash i've been wanting to try (other than megs) is the turtle wax platinum (green color) as i've heard it's good.

I have been using Rain-X car wash. Best stuff ever. i think a bottle is $4 or so at walmat maybe $5 at an auto shop. Its a blue solution with little green ***** in it. After i wash my car rain flies off no water spots. Also removes bugs and all the annoyances. Good stuff
