The Super Soaper Review – Best Car Wash Soap for Touchless Washing
Looking for a wash soap that gives you huge foam, real lubrication, and safer washing with fewer swirls? The Super Soaper was built for modern, semi-touchless routines—pre-soak, foam, rinse—then minimal contact with a high-pile wash towel. Here’s how it performs, how to dilute it, and why it’s become our go-to for scratch-free results.
Foam First. Touch Less. Scratch Less.
Super-rich foam + slick lubrication = safer washes with less effort.
Quick Take
- Category: High-foam, high-lubricity wash soap optimized for foam cannons and semi-touchless routines.
- Finish: Neutral finish that rinses clean—no film, no weird gloss, just squeaky-clean paint ready for protection.
- Why it matters: More lubrication + less touching = fewer wash-induced swirls.
- Bonus: Works great as a pre-soak in a pump sprayer to soften grime before you ever touch the paint.
What Sets It Apart
Most soaps promise “thick foam,” but thickness alone doesn’t equal safety. Super Soaper was tuned for the right blend of foam density + lubricity. The bubbles cling long enough to loosen dirt, and the film underneath stays slick so your wash towel glides instead of dragging. Rinseability is excellent—no oily residue to fight, even in shade.
| Foam Character | Dense, clinging foam that doesn’t collapse fast |
|---|---|
| Lubrication | High—noticeably reduces towel “grab” |
| Rinseability | Fast break and clean rinse, minimizes film |
| Use Cases | Foam cannon, pump sprayer pre-soak, bucket/contact wash |
Best Dilutions
Foam Cannon
- Standard: 3–4 oz Super Soaper in a 32 oz cannon bottle, fill the rest with water.
- Dirty trucks/SUVs: 4–6 oz for extra cling.
- Maintenance washes: 2–3 oz keeps cost per wash low without sacrificing lubrication.
Pump Sprayer (Pre-Soak)
- Engine bays/tires/wells: ~2 oz in a 1-liter sprayer for a creamy pre-soak.
- Bug-heavy fronts: 1–2 oz per liter—spray, dwell 2–4 minutes, rinse.
Bucket Wash
- Contact wash: 1–2 oz per 3–4 gallons of water.
- Top-up: Add a small splash if suds thin; you’re after slip, not foam mountains in the bucket.
Semi-Touchless Wash Method (Step-by-Step)
- Pre-rinse: Blast off loose grit top-down. Wheel faces and wells first.
- Pre-soak: Mist Super Soaper via pump sprayer over the lower halves, bug areas, and rear hatch. Let dwell 2–4 minutes—don’t let it dry.
- Foam bath: Cover the vehicle with cannon foam. Start at the top so product works while you move down.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly. Many light-duty washes can stop right here on protected cars.
- Minimal-contact pass (if needed): Use a high-pile wash towel in straight lines. Refresh towel sides often.
- Final rinse & dry: Rinse top-down, then blow off water or dry with the Massive Drying Towel.
Lubrication, Foam Quality & Rinseability
Lubrication is where Super Soaper earns its name. You can feel the glide difference under your towel—especially on soft, dark paints that mar easily. Foam clings without turning runny, buying dwell time to soften traffic film. Then, when you rinse, it breaks clean so you’re not chasing film with extra passes.
Hard Water Tips & Spot Prevention
- Sheeting rinse: Remove the nozzle and let water sheet off panels—less liquid left to spot.
- Dry fast: Use a blower or the Massive Drying Towel to prevent mineral deposits.
- Sun strategy: Wash early or late; start and finish on the sunny side first.
Who It’s For
- Daily drivers that need fast, safe maintenance washes.
- Enthusiasts using foam cannons or pump-sprayer pre-soaks.
- Owners of dark/soft paint who want fewer wash marks.
- Anyone running a ceramic spray or coating who wants a soap that won’t gunk it up.
Best Pairings & Tools
- Orange Wash Microfiber Towel – ultra-soft, high-pile contact wash towel.
- Massive Drying Towel – pulls water fast to avoid spotting.
- Tough As Shell – protection that makes rinses and dries even easier.
- Picture Perfect Polish – level swirls before protecting for that glassy look.
How It Compares to Popular Soaps
Compared to mainstream “pink” or “honeydew” style soaps, Super Soaper creates a denser, slower-collapsing foam with more slip under the towel and cleaner rinsing. Many high-foam soaps look great for Instagram but leave behind a film that mutes gloss or interferes with ceramic behavior. Super Soaper’s rinse-clean profile keeps hydrophobics snappy, which means faster drying and fewer spots.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
My foam looks thin—what should I check?
- Increase product to 4–6 oz in the cannon bottle.
- Verify your pressure washer output (1.2–1.4 mm orifice works well for many setups).
- Use warm water in the bottle and shake before foaming.
Can I use it in direct sun?
Yes, with caution. Work smaller sections and rinse sooner. Whenever possible, choose shade to avoid drying on the panel.
Will it strip protection?
No. It’s protection-friendly when diluted as directed. If you need to deep-clean or decon, use clay/iron remover separately—don’t over-concentrate your wash soap.
Is it safe on matte/frozen paint?
Yes. It cleans without adding gloss. Dry with air or a soft towel to avoid friction marks.
Ready for Safer, Faster Washes?
Load your cannon, blanket the car, and watch grime release with less touching.
