Deciding between CarPro Reset foaming soap and Turtle Wax Slick N Slide foaming soap. What are your opinions of these soaps if you have experience with them?
I've been using Griots Foaming Surface wash for 8 years now. Never had an issue, but all of a sudden started to notice that it was leaving dried soap scum all over my car despite rinsing it off quickly and working in the shade. This was also wreaking havoc on my ceramic coating and making it not bead as well.
Did a deep dive with AI and long story short, the chemical composition of the Griots soap makes it very prone to cling and dry to your paint, especially if you have really really hard water like I do. But not sure why just now it's leaving dried soap scum and causing this issue.. makes no sense.
Anyway, I need to switch to a soap without all those additives so that the soap won't leave scum on the car. Reset and both the Turtle wax soaps have the correct chemical composition to prevent dried soap scum from occurring.
