“The SoCar Pinky's Foaming Car Wash is the best we've used. Not only does it smell amazing, a delightful cherry almond scent, it foams in the bucket beautifully and leaves a beautiful, shiny and streak free finish on our cars once they are dried. It was very foamy and easy to use. We lathered up the front of the car first and let it sit while we worked the rest of the car. By the time we came back and scrubbed the front, the bugs just came right off. This is a great product and hubby has requested the rest of the SoCar products for Christmas gifts. I am really glad to have found this, especially since it was made here in the USA in Greenville SC! Winner all the way around!”

Amazing Car Washing Experience

When you use Pinky’s, you’re a part of our family’s history.

Pinky’s is the very first product Socar ever made back in 1967. The formula has been updated with the most current technology for a superior clean, but the name hearkens back to the days the company first began in a one-room building with a father and son. 

You know your car is clean not only because it looks great but because it smells great, too. Pinky’s gets its name from the cherry-infused smell customers love. While other scents can leave you with a chemical headache, Pinky’s promises to leave you with a pleasant, enjoyable, light cherry smell.

Powerful Foam. Perfect Smell. Exceptional Clean.

Everybody loves the feeling of a brand-new shiny car. Pinky’s Foaming Car Wash aims to deliver that feeling every time you use it, which is why we created our specially formulated HydroFoam pH Neutral Technology™.

The technology is made to be powerful against dirt and grime while gentle on the paint, so you keep those glossy layers of protection. Pinky’s is pH neutral, which means it prevents micro scratches and other telltale signs of a car’s wear and tear, keeping it looking brand new for longer. You’ll love the thick layer of foam that surrounds your vehicle, trapping harmful particles and protecting your paintwork.

The outcome is a bumper-to-bumper radiant finish. Happy car washing!

Good soap

I'm always looking to try a new car product so when I saw this Socar Pinky’s Foaming Car Wash Soap, Professional Grade, Concentrated Super Cleaner (16 oz Bottle) I figured I'd give it a shot. First off, the scent is pleasant and makes for a comfortable work environment. This soap suds up nicely, seems to clean nicely, and rinses off cleanly and pretty streak free.

Great Foam and Clean, but I’m Still Figuring Out the Right Amount for Foam Cannon

I recently tried Socar Pinky’s Foaming Car Wash Soap, and I’m pretty impressed with how it works! The soap foams up really well, and it does a fantastic job of lifting dirt and grime off my car without leaving any streaks or residue behind. I’ve been using it with my foam cannon and pressure washer, and it’s done a great job at getting the car clean with minimal effort.

One thing I’ve noticed is that it’s a little tricky to figure out the exact right amount to use in the foam cannon. The bottle suggests using 3 oz for a bucket, but I found that for the foam cannon, I needed to adjust it a bit (around 1-1.5 oz). The foam comes out nice and thick, but it takes some trial and error to get the perfect mix for a pressure washer.

Overall, the car wash soap does exactly what I need it to do: it cleans well, smells nice (nothing too overpowering), and doesn’t harm the paint. It’s gentle but tough on dirt, so I’m definitely happy with how it works. The price is a bit higher than some other car soaps, but it’s a concentrated formula, so I think it’ll last longer.

If you're using a foam cannon, just experiment a little with the ratios to get the right foam action. Otherwise, great product that I’ll continue using!

My Favorite Car Wash Soap

This Pinky's car wash soap is my new favorite. It came packaged in a sturdy box and inside a ziploc bag. I like to support small businesses when I can so I was happy to see that this is made by a company in SC. My package had a little card that had the name of the person that packaged my order. I also received a couple of their company stickers--nice personal touch. This stuff smells amazing, I think it's cherry scented. It bubbled up good in my wash bucket and I'm really happy with how it cleaned my car. I would highly recommend this car wash soap.

Socar Pinky’s Foaming Car Wash Soap, Professional Grade, Concentrated Super Cleaner for Car

This seems like decent car soap, nothing stands out making it great and nothing stands out making it bad, it's basically what I expect from a car soap...

One thing that is quite noticeable is the scent, this smells exactly like commercial car wash soap, the familiar scent one might smell when using a commercial car wash...

Excellent Car Wash

Really like this product! Does an excellent job cleaning my car and works well with my foam sprayer. Really gets the dirt and tree sap off easily. Leaves a nice shine. Used other products previously but now only using Socar Pinky's.

foaming car wash

Good soap. It works well and foams up nicely. Works better as a mixture in a bucket than in a foam cannon.

Streak Free!

I like to wash my own car, rather than use a car wash. I am a bit old school in that I find the whole bucket and sponge to be very satisfying!

This cleaning concentrate is really nice. It foams up nicely to get a satisfying sponge bath for a grimy car.

Most important and so surprising was how well it rinsed and left no residue or streaks.

Made in the US is a plus for me too..

Ph neutral soap with a great scent

This is a ph neutral soap that allows you to wash all the dirt and grime off your vehicle without using a harsh detergent. It provides enough foaming action where the rag or wash mit can glid across the surface keeping scratches and swirls to a minimum. This is about the average price for professional grade car soap.

Cleaned my car nicely

Not really a scented soap, but I like that. Leaves less residue. It suds up really nice, it’s watery and not super concentrated. It’s good stuff though, made in the states, judging by the words on the bottle it seems these people care about their product.

Washes cleanly without streaking

This does the job and comes off cleanly, without streaking or residue. I put it on with a foam cannon connected to my 1800 PSI pressure washer. It foamed nicely, but I wonder if I'm using too much or too little soap. They tell you to use 3 oz for a bucket, but that doesn't really translate well for a foam cannon and pressure washer. Maybe I got it right with about 1-1.5 oz, but I don't know for sure. I like that it's concentrated but not thick as molasses. It pours easily and mixes well. Overall, a great car soap and I like that it's made in South Carolina.

Great soap

I used this soap with a pressure washer. It foams nice, cleans my car well and doesn't leaves streaks. It doesn't damage the paint and smells like cherry. I really appreciate that it's made in USA.

Concentrated car wash that does the job

This car wash soap needs about 3 to 5oz per gallon. A big bucket is able to cover both of our cars. I allow to set, but not dry, while I brush the wheels and heavily soiled parts of the vehicle. After a rinse, I use an absorbent microfiber towel to pat dry the whole car. The final result is a good shine with little effort. The scent of the soap is also pleasant. For the price range, this is a reasonable concentration and comparable to the leading brands on the market.

Good car wash soap

This is a nice car wash soap that I used inside of a car wash hose attachment "gun" (not a pressure washer-attached foam cannon). It suds up nicely and has a slight cherry smell. The color is nice and was slick when I washed the vehicle with a wash mitt. No complaints and will continue using this soap for future car washes until I run out.

Foams up easy and works well

This foamed up pretty easy in my pressure washer and went on smoothly, after letting it sit for a minute, I went to wiping and then rinsed with the washer. It did a great job.

While performance wasn't really any different from other car soaps I've gotten in this price range, it had a nice smell which makes no difference for the car but makes working with it a little better than some.

It also appears to be an American company with American production which is nice, too.

It does exactly what it's supposed to do which I feel is the most anyone can expect out of this product so I'm happy with it.

Works great

The pink color is a fun touch. There's a slight berry scent to it and the soap lathers fine. I use this with my portable foam canyon. I like that the soap is safe for paint.

Great Quality!

Quality foaming car wash soap in a plentiful 16 oz bottle. A little goes a long way! I use this in my foam gun attachment on my pressure washer and it provides a great foaming lather that dissolves road grime and bug guts! Socar is a great US based company with fantastic products!

Car Soap

This car soap is pretty good. It seems to clean fairly well and foams up nice. I would compare it to the last cherry Chemical Brothers soap that I used. This soap was applied by a foam cannon with a small 2500 psi electric pressure washer. I also used it in my little handheld electric sprayer. It worked well in both. It doesn't leave an residue or streaks. I would recommend this soap.

goes through quickly

The cherry scent is a nice touch, adding a bit of fun to the routine. It’s also reassuring to know it’s safe for the paint and clear coat, even on waxed or ceramic treated surfaces. My car came out clean and streak-free every time, with no residue left behind. The downside is that I find myself using more product than expected to get the desired foam thickness, so the 16 oz bottle doesn’t last long if you’re cleaning large vehicles or washing frequently.

Very foamy and gentle cleaner

First off, major props to this company for knowing how to send liquids in a safe and well-protected way. Just opening the box put a smile on my face. This is a clean-smelling liquid that foams up really well in the foam device on my hose and I feel confident using this on my custom paint job. It's concentrated, and the thinner liquid makes it easier to measure (in my experience) than the more gel-like foam concentrates. I would definitely order this again.

Worked great in my foam cannon

I love this car wash soap. It has a great, clean smell. The label says Cherry scent. It really cleaned my car well and worked great in my foam cannon. I highly recommend.
