Review: Zy-brand auto wash soap
評論：Zy-品牌汽車肥皂



Introduction引言:
A car wash shampoo from the famous Zy-brand.  I heard some of their products is OEM-ed by Animal-brand, and I was generally not impressed with those.  I am not sure about the rumors, but let's see if this Zy-brand auto wash soap works?
來自著名Zy-品牌的洗車洗髮水。 我聽說他們的一些產品是由動物-品牌製造的，我一般都沒有留下深刻的印象。 我不知道謠言，但讓我們看看這個Zy-品牌肥皂是否有效？



Product description產品描述 (adapted from manufacturer web site):

(Product name) is the hard working car wash designed to extract heavy dirt, oils and insect tar while protecting your finish.

Claims聲稱 (found on manufacturer's web site):

Details細節:
1. Packaging包裝: available in 48oz sizes.
2. Directions指示:

Be sure your car's surface is cool to the touch. Add (Product) to a bucket and fill with a strong stream of water.  Rinse your car thoroughly, removing any loose dirt.  Using a synthetic sponge or soft wash mitt, start at the top of the vehicle and work down.  Rinse thoroughly after washing each section then dry gently with a chamois or clean soft towel.

3. Construction構造: baby blue plastic container with grey screw cap.  Satisfactory build quality in my opinion and should hold the products years with no problem.  In fact the manufacturer states that shelf life is 7 years MINIMUM.
4. Color顏色: light blue
5. Scent馝馞: fresh and sweet scent I like it way more than another Z-brand!
6. Price價格: MSRP USD$19.00 or $10 according to the Table

3. Bone-shaped wash bar
4. Towels



Environmental Conditions環境條件:
31*C / 88F
~80% RH
Last wax section: Hmm... dont ask, I am a lazy guy.



We shall see some photos first and rejoin for the pros, cons and verdict.
我們首先看到一些照片，並加入利弊和判決。

No instruction on how much product was seen on the bottle.  Give them a call or read from the Table for accurate information.  Theese sources will tell you the correct dilution ratios.
As usual, two buckets for paint and Grit Guard are necessary.


As I progress through the wash, I realized one interesting observation.
My rinse (dirty) bucket is having a lot of snowy frost.
This is one tough shampoo!


Wash mitt glide across the paint and glass smoothly.
Soap rinse clean easily no need to come back and repeat like some products.
The gloss and slickness leave behind is great.






Pros優點:
+1 This is a mild soap that will not strip wax
+2 Concentrated up to 1:800 = 6.25x more than other brands like Megs
+3 Gloss
+4 Smooth washing
+5 Fresh scent

Cons缺點:
- N/A

???:
1. Cant get my wheels clean you need another thing for that.
2. Does this soap leave behind protection?



Conclusion結論:

This is a Mazda of car wash soap - easy going, reliable and inexpensive.
這是馬自達洗車皂 - 容易，可靠和便宜。

pH 8.0 in concentrated form - should be pretty balanced if you use it per the Table / manufacturer recommendation.  It is easy on your skin, and gives clear coat safe results time after time.  Ingredient analysis confirmed the soap mainly rely on surfactant.  No harsh acid / alkaline was found.
pH值8.0，如果您按照表/製造商的建議使用，濃度應該相當平衡。在皮膚上很容易，並且隨時給出清漆安全的結果。成分分析證實，皂主要依靠表面活性劑。沒有發現惡劣酸/鹼性成分。

Zy- gets your car clean with great results that is easily achieved.  You will not get bored in the process with mild fresh scent and frosty suds.  There are stronger cleaning or tougher suds soap on market, but I am happy with Zy- on my own car.  Mazda is not the fastest or loudest car on road, but it get you to market for daily grocery, drive your kids to school no problem.  They can be fun to drive too.  You are in wrong place if you want that from a Mazda.
Zy-讓你的車清潔，很好的結果，很容易實現。 在這個過程中，溫和的新鮮氣味和霜凍的泡沫，你不會感到無聊。 市場上有更強的清潔劑或更堅的肥皂，但是我對自己的車上的Zy感到滿意。 馬自達不是最快或最響亮的賽車，而是讓您在日常雜貨店上市，讓您的孩子上學沒有任何問題。 他們也可以很開心。 如果你想要這個馬自達，你是錯誤的地方。

Cost per use calculations show that it is an economical soap to use as well.  Aint that another property of Mazda?
每次使用成本計算表明，這是一種經濟的肥皂使用。是不是馬自達的另一個特性？

However, marks must be deducted for not explicitly stating the dilution ratio on bottle.  Also, the instructions on web site are different from the bottle.
但是，必須扣除不明確說明瓶子稀釋比率的標記。 此外，網站上的說明與瓶子不同。

To conclude, a solid product.
總而言之，一個堅實的產品。

I have used the shampoo more.
The shine it gives to my 50000km car is really good.
Some may wish it has stronger cleaning, but my conclusion that it is a solid product still hold true.

Thanks for the review (best quality, as usual)!

One quick question : Does it clean glass effectively too?  Or do I need a separate glass cleaner?

Yoda,

I had no issues for using the Zy Auto Wash to clean my paint and glass.
They wont get my wheels clean like some very strong soaps, but otherwise any reasonable things I throw at it, it returned satisfactory results.
You may try it and see if you like it. In my humble opinion it is a good mild soap for maintenance, not for cleaning a car soaked in mud.

    A.Senna,

I have used shampoo from common brands like 🐮, 🐢, Moms, Megs or MMM.
I would respectfully disagree with you on "Turtxx is a cheaper brand".
These 4 brands are for rich people.

I bought Megs GC Shampoo for $148/64oz ($2.3125) in Causeway Bay.
I bought Zy Auto Wash for $118/48oz ($2.45833) in Taikoo.

🐮, 🐢, Moms, Megs or MMM are acceptable products.
But when compared, the Zy Auto Wash:
+1. much slicker
+2. 6x more concentrated
+3. very glossy results

Conclusion:
Zy Auto Wash is better and cheaper.

where I can buy Zy Auto Wash? thanks
