Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Foam is a gallon-size shampoo and conditioner that goes a long way, mixes easily in a bucket, and works well in a foam cannon. The conditioning agents are praised for helping shine and appearance, and the soap is described as gentle enough for ceramic-coated cars without hurting water beading. The main caveat is that foam cannon use can burn through it quickly if you are heavy-handed, and some prefer a purely pH-neutral soap without conditioning agents. It is a solid wash option when you want good cleaning and gloss from a little product.

  • Drivers who foam-cannon their own cars, because it works very well in a foam cannon and a little goes a long way when mixed into a bucket.

  • Owners of ceramic-coated cars, because it can be used without noticeably hurting water beading while suspending prewash chemicals.

  • Detailers who want a conditioning wash that adds shine, because it contains conditioning agents and leaves the finish looking reflective.

  • People washing cars frequently, because the gallon size lasts a long time and only a small amount is needed per wash.

  • Drivers who want a pure pH-neutral wash with no conditioning agents, because this formula adds conditioning agents that can slightly affect beading.

  • People who use a foam cannon wastefully, because it can chew through the soap very quickly.

  • Buyers who expect a standout discount, because the gallon has been seen around this price before.

  • Shoppers comparing against warehouse-club pricing, because the same gallon can be found for about $17.98 elsewhere.

This is 1 gallon....so therefore at Target a gallon is $9.69 x 2 = $19.38. I'm very confused why you are deriding this deal with an example that costs more?
I mean, a gallon is a lot of car wash soap. A little goes a long way.
I got a gallon from another brand back in 2017 and I still have like 2/3rds of it left almost 9 years later.

..that said, I picked this up a few days ago for this price because what I have has wax, and I don't want that when using a ceramic coat.

Good soap, has some conditioning agents some people haze it for that aid in shine and reflecting capability. If you arent a purist and worried about an expensive coating below, its very good. It also works in a foam cannon very well.
Thanks for the info? Do you happen to know whether it's actually harmful to ceramic coating? I have just a twice a year griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray coating I apply, nothing crazy but would hate to wear it down too prematurely.IMO the cheapest "decent" soap is the best soap, most neutral pH soaps are lubricative enough and leave the car spotless after contact wash regardless. No $80 a gallon soap for me, lol

Foam cannon will chew through it very quickly.

Not if you aren't wasteful about it. Been using one with the aforementioned soap for 6+ years.

Its not harmful in any way, it would at worst layer over another much smaller less durable substrate if anything. What people dislike it for is that they feel like the water beading on expensive coatings is impacted, but in my experience using this as a foam to suspend my prewash chems, I don't find that to be the case on my ceramics. If you want a pure soap that doesn't add these, I would recommend Adam's Polishes blue shampoo that can regularly be had for just over $20 on sale. Now they list their MSRP as high which apparently a ton of SD'ers get hurt about and think that's some sort of deceptive tactic (as noted by the earliest comments in this thread), but to me what my wallet feels as compared to what a product's historic pricing has been is all that's important next to the quality of the product. I would say that if all you are concerned about with a ceramic is protecting the paint and ensuring appearance is tight, this is phenomenal. If you are a water beading goblin, then while this may only slightly impact beading, I would stick with a purely PH neutral soap without conditioning agents....and yes this is a great price.

The entirety of Slickdeals is the deal out the door, this is still cheaper so who literally cares what a more expensive retailer regularly has this at....THIS is the deal at the moment. I could care less if Amazon put the MSRP at $200 a gallon, and likely few other SD'er would care(cant please with anything types of people)....I read his comment and it was nonsensical related to the end goal of purchasing products at a market rate lower or the lowest it's historically been.
I concur here. Not sure how $20 for 2 @ Target beats $16 here, the math isn't mathing on that one. Who cares what the inflated MSRP is when the bottom line is still cheaper than elsewhere at the moment. MSRP means literally nothing when the current price is what you're looking at anyways and if that price fits your bill. To those that want to pay more, it's your money.
