Been using Kresto since I was a kid. Dad gets it from the refinery and always kept the garage stocked with it. He gives me a big tub every year or so and I have a wall-mount dispenser in my bathroom (I live in my shop, literally).

don't use that stuff from autozone it was awesome for a second and then it turned to glue that stuck to my arm hairs not good at all. or the green dawn soap not so good either. but all the other dawn dish soap is great. we use cherry bomb and kresto in our shop.
