Wash and wax completely replace regular car shampoo?

[Erictski]

I typically wash every two or three weeks, not nearly as much as many of you. My question is can I just use wash and wax every time and completely replace my regular car shampoo or does the wash and wax build up over time?

 

I like the idea of adding some protection every time and just using a little detail spray to dry with instead of using guard and gloss

I don't see why not. Other than being a little more expensive than the regular shampoo I see no reason not to.

I've been since it came out and have no complaints.

I don't see anything wrong with this either.  I'm thinking of doing the same on my wife's car which only gets a 2-bucket wash every 2-3 weeks.

What sucks is I really want to try it but I still have almost a full gallon of blue shampoo, lol! I don't want to buy more just for the sake of trying it out. I'll probably get it sometime next year after it has been reformulated.

Thanks for the replies. I havent noticed a difference in cleansing ability between the two soaps and shine is great with both I was just curious if the wash and wax silica sealant would build up or something. But I do love the smell of the blue soap a lot better than the wash and wax scent so might have to keep using it anyway.

Wash and Wax...to my eye...clearly provides more shine and gloss!

 

I tend to only do a two-bucket wash when my vehicles are really dirty like when driving through rain, etc...

 

My plan is to use W&W solely and use the rest of my blue Car soap for my foam cannon.

Thanks for this thread, it answered my question!

I have used the wash and wax as my primary shampoo for the past month.  I will say my car gets a very deep shine every time i use it.  I get more complements on my car since i started using it.  Great product!!!  I love the scent as well!!!

Wash and wax became my most favorite soap the first time I used it! I decided to use it once every 2 to 3 months though.. It has good protection.

Does wash and wax reduce longevity if you were to dry using H2OG&G?

I would say no. if anything drying with H2O would probably increase the longevity of the protection. Since you would have the wash and wax under the H2O.

Chris,

 

I feel your pain as this is how I have felt before. Send me a PM if you want to try it and I will gladly send you a bottle for you to try it out.

That was worded very poorly by me haha.  I meant if you were to use gloss and guard would ITS longevity be reduced by whatever barrier is created by the wash and wax?  I'm curious to this because I know topping G&G over a wax will cause a reduction in how long the G&G lasts (to my understanding).

I'm actually not the biggest fan, or maybe I just don't see the difference...I got it in a mystery box if I'm not mistaken. It definitely seems like it's great for like a quick wash
