Some feedback on Lift, I really like it. It foams up brilliant and the foam dwell time is quite long, so even though it says not to let it dry, there was plenty of time to wash the car just using the foam cannon and sponge with rinse bucket. I did back, side, side, front in separate goes but on a smaller car I reckon you could foam the whole car and still have time to hand wash it before it dried.
Another big plus but to me the 'reactivation' seemed a lot less. Something that does waste a lot of time and water with other soaps.
Now for some lunch before tackling the coating part. See how far I get before my back gives out.

Lift certainly has a fantastic dwell time, which allows it to soak and penetrate dirt and contamination for easier and safer cleaning. I find that it foams brilliantly, then thins down as it dwells, then rinses clear.
Free rinsing is certainly a huge benefit a soap can have, it makes the rinse so much quicker and easier, which also reduces your water consumption. Of the 45 different soaps I have tried, only a select few are truly free rinsing.............

Of those, at the moment I'm loving Opti-coat M-Wash, expensive but truly excellent. I've cooled on GSF in recent months, its a great soap but I hate how it's $15 more expensive for a 1 lt bottle compared to when it launched. Over that time, Reset is still the same price and is just as good if not better.
