Sticker prices from the review. Price per ounce was given verbally; totals shown here reflect the bottle prices referenced in the tests.

Swift measured ~13.48 out of bottle (~12.71 post-cannon). Several soaps were near-neutral.

Griot’s was slickest (1.0 lb); Slick (1.3) and Chemical Guys (1.5) close behind.

Lower numbers indicate less residual dirt. Swift led; Chemical Guys and Slick followed.

Swift again led; Slick was 2nd; P&S 3rd.

Swift, Griot’s, and Slick received the best possible hose-dwell rating of 1.0.

MJJC was the clear pressure-washer dwell winner (rating 1.0).

Subjective, but Slick clearly best (1.5), Swift next (2.0), most others ~2.5.
