Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash, 64 Oz

I've tried a lot of car wash soaps over the years, and Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash has quickly become one of my favorites. From the very first wash, I could tell this product was different. The rich, thick foam provides excellent lubrication, allowing the wash mitt to glide smoothly across the paint while helping lift away dirt and grime without scratching the finish. One of the things I appreciate most is that it cleans thoroughly without stripping away wax or sealant. After rinsing, my car looks incredibly clean, and the paint has a deep, glossy shine that almost looks like it has been freshly detailed. The conditioning agents really make a noticeable difference, leaving the finish feeling smooth and looking vibrant. The 64-ounce bottle is also a fantastic value because a little goes a long way. Whether I'm washing by hand with a bucket or using a foam cannon, it creates an abundance of thick, luxurious suds that last throughout the wash. It rinses off easily, leaving no residue or water spots when dried properly. Another big plus is the pleasant scent, which makes washing the car a more enjoyable experience. I've used it on multiple vehicles with different paint colors, and the results have been consistently impressive every time. If you're looking for a premium car wash soap that combines excellent cleaning power with paint-safe conditioning and delivers a showroom-quality finish, I highly recommend Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash. It's become a permanent part of my car care routine, and I'll definitely continue buying it. Five stars without hesitation!

This simply the best all around soap out there for washing cars. I've been using it for years on various cars, and I've yet to find something that works better. It helps bring my Evo to a show worthy clean and shine. A couple cap fulls of this in my pressure washer bottle suds up great, same with my Gilmour Foamaster. It does a great job at cutting through mud and dirt, and even bird droppings if you get to it soon enough. Where I live it rains 2-3x a week so I try to keep my car waxed to reduce washes, but I still end up washing it down once every 1-2 weeks. If I stay on top of it, with this and my pressure washer - I don't have to touch my car with a mit or towel for cleanings. This works that well to clean a car of all dirt, grime, and bugs. However if you let it go a month and it's not waxed, then you'll probably have to mit clean it. The only time I use a different soap is usually the first couple weeks after a wax (assuming it's not caked on dirty somehow) I use Meguiar's Wash and Wax - 48 oz. to preserve the wax job and bring it back to a little more of a shine. To wash - I highly recommend a cheap electric pressure washer with a soap bottle. You can find them around 100-150$, and if you frequently wash your car it's well worth it. My philosophy is the less times I have to touch my car the lower probability of miro-marring and swirl marks. If you have to mitt clean, do as high powered of a rinse you can with a hose to get off the bulk of dirt. I then recommend the Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt , use two cheap 5 gallon buckets (you can get them for a couple bucks from HomeDepot), with a The Grit Guard Insert (Red) - Fits 12 inch Diameter Bucket at the bottom. One bucket is clean rinse water the others your soap dunking water. The important tips I've found for avoiding marring is to frequently rinse and soap your mitt - don't let it start to get dry of soap/suds. Every single time you're about to rinse the mitt run your other hand over both sides and do a visible inspection, pick off ANYTHING you see. Rinse it, scrape along the grit guard if you need to, re-soap the mitt, then do another run of your hand against it and visible inspection. I can't tell you how many times I've picked something off the mitt, like a small piece a dirt or pebble or leaf/twig part that would've likely marked up the clear coat. Also usually you do not need to apply a lot of pressure, even for caked on grime. Lightly drag it so if there is dirt on the mitt it's less likely to scratch. The only other advice I have is to use at least 2 mitts per car. Reserve at least one for any hotspots on the car that get a lot of dirt - like around your rear wheel wells, rear bumper around exhaust, maybe even your front bumper if you've got it caked with bugs from a long road trip. I save those spots for last with the separate mitt so it keeps all that gunk out of the buckets and off the rest of my car. It's also useful to have another mitt if you drop yours on the ground or it touches any high dirty areas, it's great to set it aside for the washer and use another for now. I usually use a CRSpotless DI filter system to rinse the car off afterwards to a spot free shine. I have however used this and just hosed it off afterwards, and it does a pretty decent job by itself at leaving a fairly spot-free shine (obviously not completely). I'd say it's better then the Mother's wash I tried in this regard. Otherwise it's pretty comparable to the Mother's wash, although I tend to think this cuts through caked on dirt just a bit better. If you don't want a CRSpottless system you can buy the big blue filter housing and a DI filter to build your own for around 100-200$ (I did this after my crspotless system cracked over one winter). If you go the towel dry method I'd recommend Meguiar's Water Magnet Drying Towel - you'll have to ring it out a couple times (maybe buy two), but it's soft and pretty safe to use. Just make sure you don't let it touch the ground or anything else covered in dirt - or you will mar/scratch it during drying.

I purchased this to use with a foam gun and to replace my previous Bubble Gum scented one from Chemical Guys. I noticed wasps were attracted to my car after I finished washing it, which made me think that the really sweet scent had something to do with it. Well, it must have because once I started using this one, it never happened again. It smells good, but it's not a sweet scent like the previous one. It also foams a lot (which I love) and rinses off easily. It leaves my car shiny and clean. If you're using a foam gun, I would recommend that you be careful with how much you use because a little goes a long way, and then it takes forever for the suds to turn to clean rinsing water. So test it out. This big bottle is going to last me a long time, so it's also a great value. Highly recommend!

Good except cap disintegrated after few months.

Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner is a great choice for keeping your car clean while protecting the paint. The pH-balanced formula gently removes dirt and grime without stripping wax, and it creates a rich foam that helps prevent scratches. It rinses easily and leaves the car looking shiny, smooth, and freshly detailed. Overall, it’s a reliable and affordable car wash for maintaining a glossy finish.

Pricing was reasonable. Item arrived promptly and as expected. The actual car wash is exactly what a detail enthusiast would want. Just a cap full in hot water 💧 and you're good to go. This wash really cleans the finish. I clay bar my car immediately after washing then wash again. It really makes the finish shine. Love this stuff.

I’m new to washing cars but so far no complaints with this soap, I’ve used it on my Tesla Model Y a few times and haven’t had any issues with it. It foams enough for me, seems like it’ll last a long time, and gets my car looking nice. There is usually some crud that I can’t easily get off with it but I assume that’s a normal limitation of gentle soap+microfiber cloths

The quality of this product exceeded my expectations. I use it with my pressure washer, and it works wonderfully. The shine I get after washing my cars is impressive, and I even get compliments on how clean they look. It smells great, foams nicely, and has excellent cleaning power. I like to let it soak for a bit before hand washing, which helps even more. I typically wash my cars once a week in the summer and twice a month in the winter, and this product performs consistently. Pros: Excellent cleaning power and foam Leaves a shiny, polished finish Pleasant scent Works well with a pressure washer Cons: Requires a bit of soaking time for best results Conclusion: Overall, this car wash product is high-quality, effective, and leaves vehicles looking impressive. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to keep their car clean and shiny with minimal effort.

Works great, love it

Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner is an exceptional product and one of the best car wash soaps I have used. It produces rich, thick foam that lifts dirt effectively without stripping wax or damaging the paint. After washing, the car looks noticeably cleaner with a deep, glossy finish. The shampoo is gentle on clear coat and leaves the surface smooth and streak-free. A small amount goes a long way, so the 1.89L bottle offers excellent value. It also has a pleasant scent and rinses off easily without residue. Highly recommended for anyone who wants professional-level results at home while safely maintaining their vehicle’s finish.

Good stuff

​Parfait pour le lavage de mes véhicules ! Ce shampoing mousse généreusement et tient très longtemps sur la carrosserie. C'est un excellent produit, très efficace pour éliminer la saleté tout en respectant les surfaces. Je recommande les yeux fermés !

Este shampoo de Meguiar’s Gold Class se ha vuelto mi favorito para lavar el coche. La calidad se nota desde el primer uso: deja un brillo limpio, profundo y con muy buen acabado, sin resecar la pintura ni dejar residuos raros. Lo que más me sorprendió es lo bien que funciona con espumadora. Hace una espuma densa, uniforme y fácil de trabajar, que ayuda muchísimo a remover la suciedad sin tener que tallar de más. Terminas el lavado más rápido y el auto queda con un acabado tipo “detailing” sin esfuerzo. El olor es agradable, el rendimiento es buenísimo y honestamente rinde bastante por la cantidad que trae. Es de esos productos que compras una vez y luego ya no quieres cambiar. Si quieres algo confiable, de calidad y que realmente se note en el resultado, lo recomiendo sin duda.
