Mixing carwash soaps

Someone on this site said that the "Mister Clean" soap should be thrown out, well I'm not sure that is true but don't mix it with Megs gold class. It turned into a sticky mess that even stuck to the inside of my foam sprayer bottle. It left crap all over the car that I ended up taking off with IPA. It would not wash off.
 
Just remember that anytime two chemicals with completely different formulas and / or functions are combined, at best the effectiveness of each chemical is reduced, and/or the chemicals may not be compatable.

its best not to mix cleaning products-you don't know what chemical reaction or toxic vapor might be created-especially if a product has amonia in it
 
I use Meguiar's #62 in my foam gun and have used different soaps in my bucket without any ill effects. The car looks just as clean if I were not to use the foam gun so I don't think any chemical in either soap is not working properly. I use the foam gun to reduce marring the surface not to add any kind of gloss or extra shine.



I chose #62 because it is so mild. I would use #00, but don't really see it for sale anymore.
 
Just choose your mixes wishly.

I mix Z7 (great cleaning power and suds) and 1Z Perls (aids in rinsing and prevention of water spots) all the time. I use this protocol unless I plan to apply a layer of Z polish.
 
I use the Mr. Clean soap in the gun and also have a bucket of Meg's GC mixed with some Mr. Clean soap and water for additional soap/lubricity. I have never seen any sticky gooey mess--and my car comes out perfect every time.



Now, I'm not putting the GC in the gun, but it is mixing with the Mr. Clean soap in the bucket and all over the car.

I use GC and then the Mr. Clean when I'm lazy. The Mr. Clean soap is pretty much mandatory if you want a hands-free dry.
 
After about 4 trips around the car I think I finallly have all the stuck on goo (dark spots and splashes) removed from windows and paint. What a PITA. IPA and clean cotton cloth seemed to remove or dissolve them but they were everywhere.
