I’m very impressed! I have used CG products in the past. I have been unimpressed. I ordered the rinseless & waterless after your previous video. Thanks for keeping it real! I appreciate your honesty
Ya compared to what I normally used like I said honey dew is good but nothing to write home about. Thanks for watching Tim !
Only used their vrp, got it right when I started detailing. It was good, but I don’t really like gel dressings. Great review as always Eddie, keep it up!
Hope your well , vrp looks great on the tire but not my fav look I want more satin
Great video bro 💪That coating is doing 90% of the work. I can’t wait for you to use wash and gloss!!! Oh another fire product I used to use was their lightning fast too.
Ads quartz is doing work thanks for watching bro
Your videos are always unique. Thank you for giving us more great content.
Thanks for the support means so much to me
I would watch your Hallmark movie. “My Chemical Guys Christmas with JB”
Only if you make a guest appearance
I’m impressed! Really impressed, actually-question…would the snow foam pre wash have worked just as well on a non coated vehicle??? Care to test?? lol I love how you never cease to bring the most fun, innovative, yet knowledgeable content to your viewers while always keep’ it real!!! Much love bro ❤
I’ll try it , I bet if I would have let it sit did the 3 oz it would have done alright thanks Kristi!
I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking this!
Now, on to Suds Lab!
100 percent this
Where can I buy and what do j buy
@@Ecdetails I’ve seen it on Amazon not sure if they have everything on there tho. Curious about them, haven’t tried
@@Ecdetails Walmart! Right beside the CG stuff!
@@EcdetailsWalmart
My new favorite satin dressing is the Griot's satin ceramic tire dressing. So good, dries to the touch, great beading and you can use it on evertying just like VRP. Smell is incredible.
I’ll have to give that a try!
Appreciate you doing this video! So crazy!!
Thanks for watching means alot
CG's Swift Wipe waterless wash is still my fave compared to other brands ive tried
Honey Dew Snow Foam was my first foam cannon soap and it is pretty solid but since there are so many other options now I don't use it but it is hard to beat the scent!
Fred hey beautiful ya man the smell is wild
Eddie coming out 💪💪
Their nonsense apc is my favorite thing from them
Price is good, widely available
When CG is on the same level as opti and possibly better... we're getting into pro territory
Thanks Salvatore thank you for your friendship and always shooting us
Good stuff Eddie fair and honest review bro. Definitely have used all those and never had issues with CG products. There is good and bad in every brand.
Like if I need some stuff to get work done I would pick
This crap
Up and use make money it works
You’re cool af eddie , your channel bussin bussin fasho fasho 🤙🏽😎 can’t believe i just found you yesterday smh
Thanks for the support man thank you
Great vid!! Quick question..what eyeglasses are you wearing?
Thanks for watching these are Oakley sun glasses
My gf picked me up some CG products. I favor Meguiars, but I use what she gets me. The Waterless Wash is great and it smells good. I find VO7 to streak if used in dry applications. Haven’t tried VRP yet or Honey dew.
Overall thoughts ???
@@Ecdetails Meguiars>CG
@@elonsus9747 gotta do some test bro haven’t used anything but polisb
VRP sucks so bad. Applied it last. It rained a tiny bit in the morning hours. And the rain literally took the VRP right off all plastic parts. Looks like a real mess now. This is the first and last time I have used this CG shit.
I've used their VRP and like you didn't like too much of a shine. But I use it for some other things. Used the Honeydew and thought it did a good job.
Bro when it’s dry I like the look like it’s not my top 5 but I would use it again
I use a couple of their products . I think they get a bad rap because they market strategy is through the roof , they got into Walmart and they seem to make like 800 different soaps . Keep up the great videos bud .
Ya I would use mr pink again and honey dew
Thanks for the review sir!
Looks like you’ve gone on a Carbon Collective shopping spree. I’m a little jealous of those buckets. Any plans to try/test their coatings?
Appreciate you , and are you referring to the chem guys coatings ?
@@Ecdetails No, I was referring to the Carbo Collective coatings. Sorry about that!
I would be curious about Chemical Guys coatings too, now that you mention it
My head is up I did used CG, my favorite is lighting fast, nonsense busting too I love that you did this video Eddie not all good chemical is expensive. there's some good stuff that cheap... like this company kleen rite I get a lot of stuff from them like vacuum hose stuff for Pressure Washer, that a lot of people look past because they might not be and Obsessed garage 😅 jokes 😅 love you my man!!!
I was looking at pass videos and dude use to use Adam’s so imma buy some Adam’s and test. Appreciate you bro
My man keeping it honest out here! You make a good point; if you’re in a pinch and need something from Autozone or wherever, you could do way worse than CG. I myself found their leather cleaner (not the 2-in-1, just the cleaner) was pretty solid.
John thanks for watching bro hope your family is good! 👍🏾 also they do got some 💎
@@Ecdetails Dude I always love watching your vids! And thank you! We’re hangin’ in there haha. Hope you, Bev, and the girls are doing well!!
Just with the prewash I’d say it’s probably more to do with how good the coating is more so than how good the honey dew snow foam is
On some , there are some pre washes that are just wild , primus, kcx sf etc but u agree on this truck coating was definitely helping the soap out
Thanks for the product review!! I use to use Honey Dew but for the $$ there are better options for myself. That ADS coating is 🔥!!
Yes sir there is better options for a good soap - ads coating is lite
If u did make a hallmark movie I d watch it 🍿 ! Love this series great start!
Haha thanks for watching
I seen diablo being used as a wheel soap. Just FYI, so you won't throw it away. Thats a good use for it
This is a great idea!! Thanks!!
Thanks for the advice what’s your thoughts on citrus sticky stuff
@@Ecdetails I don't like it. I don't like it simply because you can't get enough coverage when you spray it. So I never really know how good of a cleaner it is
Please review the Hydro line. EcoSmart is the best Waterless wash. One gallon of concentrate will wash 500 cars
Hydro line chemicals guys ?
Whats wheels brush was that? Also, is it ok to use on gloss balck wheels? If not, what brush do you recommend for gloss black wheels?
I use 2 kinds
For soft black gloss wheels
amzn.to/3SbWZ0T
Ez wheel brush
amzn.to/3NXSWTh
Why was there a haze on the windows when you were drying the doors?
Humidty 80 cause I washed inside
Hydroshield vinyl rubber was actually pretty good. If I still have it I’ll send you the bottle. It has the look I think you would like for tires.
There was another one Mike that was on the sprayable and blue bottle
What’s your thoughts on that
@@Ecdetails I found the name on their site just to make sure we are on the same page.
HYDROSHIELD VINYL, RUBBER, PLASTIC CERAMIC SHINE COATING
I actually liked this product from them. Nice natural finish that dries to the touch. Works pretty good to dress plastic trim.
Should do a review on the Adam's products next and then compare both brands to see which you prefer
It’s on the list! I have to buy the producfs what’s your list for a total car experience
Try this watermeleon extreme from chemical guys I use this when I first started good for coatings as well it's a wash no waxes
I did like 4 cars with this after the video - I’m onto testing other stuff I’ll have to give that a shot tho
Nice vid as always! The shampoos seem to be the best products they do.
Shampoos seem
To be great - but with so many others are the market would you pick this up first?
I got good results with the honeydew snow foam. The nonsense APC. The total
Interior cleaner. And the clay lube. Would buy all those again if I needed to.
I would definitely buy the rinseless , honey dew and vo7 if my stuff ran out
I use the honey dew. It's not terrible. Could be better. I want to try Adams or armor supply.
Armour detail supply is good reminds me of reset
Using CG in your favorite OG spec foam cannon. That's a good one.
Haha 😂 busted
What is the coating on this truck? And will you test Nanoskin products too ? Great podcast today too btw 👍
Armour detail supply quartz
I can test nano skin I wanna keep the series going what should I get ?
@Ecdetails right on take a look at their non acid wheel cleaner, and hyper suds car soap (800:1 dilution ! ) and they have numerous detail sprays - shock looks like beadmaker, they have a graphine spray plus others, may be redundant I don't know...they have an APC, several tire etc dressings and really all the regular products.
Another line I just ordered a few things from is Aero Cosmetics, never even heard of em before a few days ago. I'm trying the Rubber Care and wash n wax - basically a (waterless) rinseless aimed for the airplane market...
Thanks 🏁
Nanoskin Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner is what I'm going back to after I use up all my Maniac Wheel and Tyre. Nothing wrong with Maniac, but Nanoskin is $19 for a gallon, dilutes 1:4 and cleans just as well from what I can remember. Their Spot Free water spot remover is also good. I tried one of their dressings too, but can't remember the name. I think with Nanoskin the thing to keep in mind is a lot of their products should be diluted, but they don't do the best job of advertising that.
@coreyh4947 nice I'm up for trying it too, after what I have runs out also lol. The wheel cleaner ends up being 5 bucks a gallon after dilution that's nuts. Wait, 4 bucks a gallon...
That coating is doing the Lord's work!
Jeff c you ain’t lying bro and it’s armour detail supply quartz
@@Ecdetails nice! Just the consumer version? I like how they make the Pro version available to consumers after a quick vetting process. I hope Yvan and Christine will find a way to follow suit with C6 at some point.
@@jeffc6832 🙌🏾 yes sir it is
It'a a good day when Eddie makes a video!
So kind thank you !
Used to have a gallon of v07 before i switched to beadmaker. Did a side by side, and beadmaker was better in every way. Eventually ill grab a bottle of armor detail that you suggested. But the soaps, i pretty much had a similar conclusion. They aren’t in the negative on the scale, just nothing special. I could never figure out the point in diablo cleaner. It just felt like a cinnamon scented ph neutral car shampoo in a spray bottle. But i used it on repainted (spray can) rims because i knew it was a gentle wheel cleaner 😂.
Cinnamon? It smelled like over the top bubblelicious gum when I tried it. I gave it away after 1 use cause I couldn’t take the smell.
Hahab it went to the shadow realm I’m like what’s this
@@rockhillsoh thats weird. I thought I remember cinnamon, but it was years ago. It wasnt the one sold at walmart with a spray head, it had dilution options on the back. Maybe it changed? But i admit i can be clueless as to what im smelling until im told what it is.
Hey bro, what tire dressing do you recommend. I have been using Chemical guys VRP, but it doesn’t last very long.
I have three I grab
Nv onyx
Armour detail tire +
Diy detail
Carglo
Labocosmetica Nero
Thanks brother.
@@kyleraats2910 there are some coupon codes in the description some are affiliated or you can use others ads tire cleaner is sprayable some of the other ones are thicker lotion type nv onyx
Holy shit I literally thought you were Druski from the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 bro I get that a lot
Awesome, because we know not all their products are bad.
After Lithium's Double Tap, Honeydew is my second best smelling soap.
I have never tried double tap. I want to try DIY incredible suds and double tap.
Thanks for watching Humberto and it’s good soap bro
@@Ecdetails yes it is!
Shine Supply Shift is probably my all time favorite for smell
The chemical labs store near me is always dead, it’s pretty messed up how they sell at Walmart. Imagine buying a franchise then they do you like that, not cool.
Ya that’s wild to me , kinda cannibalized there own people
DADDY went somewhere else🫠🫠 coating still bussin
Coating of the year and no one guessed it
Nonsense and vrp are a win for me
I need to try nonsense
I've never been a fan of chemical guys, the only thing I think they do well for on the price is their wash mitts. I've found better product for the price and if I'm in a pinch I'd choose Meguires over Chemical guys. I love my McKees37 products though, would highly recommend you check them out and would love to see you do a video reviewing their products!!
Hey thanks for watching , ill add mckees to that list of products to review! Appreciate you watching man
Eddie. I had Mr. Pink for awhile and liked it. I moved to GSF and probably won't buy it again. For the money Megs Gold Class is hard to beat in the bucket. With just detailing my vehicles. When I pick a soap I stick with it good or bad till I run out.
Gsf is good soap, I wonder though if ethos foam party is any good
@@Ecdetails It's definitely good soap. I didn't really say that. There are so many. What is your favorite at the moment?
@@wescat2 my favorite soaps?
Ads shampoo+
Incredible suds
Koch chemie gsf
Nv snow and snow +
Carpro reset
Owners pride ultra wash
Apex soap pheonix eod
Get it EDDIE!!!
Should of used Diablo in the bucket for the wheels with the sticky citrus
Ya didn’t even think about it man
@@Ecdetails All good this was a good review, just didn't want you to waste it 😅 I use mine in a pump foamer for light dirt and also with an APC or another wheel/tire cleaner for heavier dirt. Just suggestions. 👍🏾
Great video. Chemical Guys gets a bad wrap from most professionals because you can get it locally and how they over saturate and market their products. I have some more of their better smelling soaps along with drying aid, fragrances, fabric guard and ect. If you're interested, shoot me your contact info, and I can send some out your way if you are still trying to dive into more Chemical Guys and want to review some more. I am like you. I have so many soaps as I exclusively only do rinsless washes these days as my vehicles stay some clean. So i dont mind sending some out your way, OG Triple OG.😂 lol
Your too kind , I’ve used this after this video 4 times my test with cg are done - I do have interior cleaner I gotta do but I brought it already
You should try P40 and Speed wipe from chemical guys.
What does p40 do?
@@Ecdetails P40 is a wax based quick Detailer that can be used as a drying aid gives good warm depth and slickness to the paint and smells awesome.
Are you kidding me the pre soap loosens the dirt but the power wash blew it of had nothing to do with product!
Soap doesn’t help ? I didn’t understand
I think part of the “bad rap” is because they just have SO MANY products.
Ya I had to ask for help haha didn’t know what to get asked Jb to assist and my ads peeps
💯💯
After watching the full vid, I’ll just stick with the good old OG products, chemical guys is a perfect friendly level products in my opinion!
For diy , home owners it’s a great option - there are other brands that are comparable in price
@@Ecdetails appreciate this 💯💯
Wow 😮nice
It’s a good enthusiast brand, the biggest thing is too many products that do the same thing. Too confusing for people.
Ya it’s hard to navigate
there waterless wash aint bad ad the honeydew aint bad, great video
Thanks Mike!
Does anyone else hit the like button the second you click on the video, cause I do!
Haha your awesome means a lot to me man! thank you
@@Ecdetails for sure brotha! I don’t know if you ever make it out of Pocatello but if you ever do make it out west, you are more than welcome to stop by my shop! I’m in Eastern Oregon, La Grande it’s right on i-84. I go to Boise often for stuff to do with the family but also I get most of my detailing supplies from a distributor in Meridian but I haven’t ever been further East in Idaho
I think people prefer niche brands over mainstream brands like Chemical Guys, not to mention that Chemical Guys has the stigma of being the Wal-Mart brand of detailing.
Works good man not everything is on gosh amazing but some gems 💎 in the mix
@Ecdetails here's the thing about chemical guys, image is important to a detailer, and when it comes to chemicals, peeps don't want to be seen suing the CG stuff out in the wild for fear of looking like they're broke boys.
What's weird is that people get weird about image only when it comes to chemicals and not the other stuff they use, like pressure washer, generator, etc.
I'm gonna have to use Chemical Guys products and pour them into IK bottles and other empty top-tier brand containers 😆
Uh oh.... CG fan boy. Lol. Jk man. Great review my friend!! As ive said before just like every other company out there they have some bad products and some good products. Keep em coming sir
About to get a tattoo for on my stomach
Appreciate you always watching
I was dropping a dookie when you said to sit down. I hope it counts as sitting.
Hope
It came
Out quick and easy bro haha 😂
@@Ecdetails came out easier than a Cerakote coating after being hit with PH Neutral soap.
Yeah ppl can't knock Chemical Guys they been around since 1968 and of course their products work wonderfully on ceramic coated vehicles!
We talking about mastersons around since 1945
I used chemical guys for a few months and the experience wasn’t bad at all. Only bad experiences I had was: pressure washer problems, ceramic sprays not lasting very long, and their wooly mammoth drying towel not drying very well. I also didn’t like how much products they have and recommend cause I have like 15+ bottles I never use I guess I fell for their marketing tactics 😅
These 5 products I’ve used was pretty good not the best but does the job , rinseless was awesome and mr pink was a good soap
I agree not the best but definitely gets the job done mr pink was good and I’m surprised to hear how good their rinseless is I’ve only tried ONR. The only ones I use now are VRP, after wash, and nonsense apc. I also use their banana spray wax or speed wipe for the door jams. Everything else is just sitting in a bucket untouched. I should just use them so I’m not wasting any money
@@Bakedbanana007 There rinseless is magic
@@Ecdetails1 oz for 5 gallons is crazy good
@@Bakedbanana007 and if cleans like it cleans well
Good video Eddie 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Glad you enjoyed it bro
I always tell people chem homies is a perfect home owner brand. Not incredible but it is better than a lot of other box store brands. I use their interior clean and protect for quick easy clean ups inside my wifes crv touring especially. Kids trash that thing on the daily. So inexpensive i hose that down with that and go to town. Def not good for glass or nav screen. But neither is a lot of other products. KCX def best brand ive tried for a lot of products for sure.
Thanks for sharing this - bro you gotta try labocosmetica it might shock you how good it is
@@EcdetailsDam bro I just looked them up never heard of them. Already been buying tons of diff products now I see this. I'm running out of excuses to tell the Mrs. 🤔
Also. New to the rinsless wash game. Want to get one for my lake country pad washer and to rinsless wash. In the northeast tho I'm confused cuz I wanna rinse under carriage as mush as possible with all the salt. Obvisously still gotta use hoes for that. You recommend p+s or diy? I'm thinking p+s from what I've seen. So hard to wash outside this time of year
They both are good diy cleans better imho , there is also like drive auto flex rinseless doing well
I have had great results from CG's APC “Nonsense”
Thank for sharing
You know it's legit cuz it says 'lifestyle' on the label and the logo is a skull bong with pistons coming out of it.
Haha 😂
It’s too expensive and has a lot of the same products with different names. But I like chemical guys.
Some stuff cost to much money - for sure but they have more sales then there are holidays
Diablo is not trash
😂😂😂
Slaying alllllll the chicks 😂😂😂
Hahab
If you rave about Diablo Wheel Cleaner I’m out haha
Poured it out trash
@@Ecdetailsthat’s why you’re my fav brother! Haha
Haha 😂
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie….you know a ceramic coating never needs, nor should you use, any soap that has a wax or gloss enhancers in them like CG Wash n Gloss.
Used it on the wheels bro paint only got honey dew and Mr pink
@@Ecdetails gotcha. Just don’t want you to confuse people like me who knew this truck was ceramic coated but you had wash n gloss on the table. I don’t even like using toppers on ceramic coatings….because then you don’t know if the coating is working or the topper.
Haha 😂 , you and me are the same I almost did haha 😂 then I was like wait
@@Ecdetails Eddie, I like your content and presentations on your videos so I want to ask you a serious question if I may.
If ceramic coatings, by their nature, resist and reject chemicals then why do people think toppers and especially toppers from a different company than the one who made the ceramic coating will bond to the ceramic coating? Toppers are chemicals after all. Plus is they do bond, then they’re just as likely to clog or mask the original coating. Quality coatings don’t need toppers they just sometimes need unclogging with a high acidic or high alkaline cleaner…just my thoughts…keep up the good work!
@@BetterThanNewDetailing not sure why people top coatings, when I coat a car I don't top it now I do use a drying aid for that purpose "drying aid" does it have some hydrophobic properties yes sir they do but I can take it off with a strip soap.
FOR Me ceramic coatings should last without having "help" Then there is the other side of the business when a customer gets a coating and doesn't take care of it even when you educate, document etc then you top those with a sealant. NO coating is bulletproof. I decon a coating every 6-month meaning I use a high PH soap an acidic soap or a water spot remover to spray the car down and a contact wash. That generally brings back a coating.
lol I will never change 😂
That’s why I love you bro your a real one haha
I tried their honeydew, wasn't a fan.
What didn’t you like about it and thanks for watching
@@Ecdetails as you put it, there are better soaps out there, and it was a little pricey for what you get. Just my opinion.
@@booboocushion30 I agree bro thanks for responding I thought you got like a bad batch and stuff was turning green haha 😂 for sure I would pick up others first like I said it’s good nothing to write home about
First
So kcx trash
But CG is good
😂 ok
This guy - I did say Koch chemie is the chemical guys of Germany
Classic 🫠
