@@tommymctomerson7972yeah don’t get me wrong, I’ve been using Mr Pink as a go-to for a long time. Like Josh said, they have staples but they also have soooo many products. Almost like they need to focus on certain ones and really dial others in
Vrp is the best water based dressing and can be diluted. Blue guard is a great tire and trim shine too. The other stuff is good but nothing to write home about
When I started out getting more professional about DIY detailing my cars, Chemical Guys helped me to get started. They even gave me some bottles of free stuff. But I agree, very confusing about all their products. I still have some "Mr. Pink" and glaze left. The guy (Greg) who I took two classes from now works for Masterson's Car Care in Anaheim, CA.
Oh man, I remember Greg from the early videos on the YT Channel. Got me going on cleaning my first car. I've since moved to Carpro products and I really like the results I get with their stuff.
I also started out with Chemical Guys. I completely agree with you. They have too big of a menu. Its like going to the Cheese Cake Factory and looking at the menu. The home runs for me personally have been Ecosmart wash, Mr. Pink and VRP.
Honestly if you think about it, if it's formulated and rebranded citrus wash and gloss, it has stripping agents in it. Also, the polymers in the soap could be clogging whatever protection is on the car like waterless washes do if they aren't sio2 or rgo based.
Thanks for showing the foam cannon with a lower GPM machine like the Ryobi. I was afraid of getting the MJJC because I figured my machine didn't have high enough water flow. Definitely looks like it's worth the money
I also have the mjjc, it is night and day better than the cheap Amazon one I have. I have some other cheap detailing supplies that work, but I wouldn't skimp on the foam Cannon.
Here in Central FL. we have a closeout store called Ollie's and I have bought a lot of CG's products very cheap. Recently I bought 2 64 oz. Maxi Suds 2 for $9.99 ea. and if they had more i would have snatched them up
Thank you for all your hard work getting us all the information and test all the different products! You definitely have helped me step up my car washing game, just keeping my own cars clean! Thank you again!
I agree with you Josh. Chen Guys have some stuff that I really like (Hydro Products) and some that I don’t care for and then a bunch I’ve never tried. I can’t wrap my mind around 17 different soaps from the same source for the same job. Great video!
Could you do a video of your step by step process of a normal car wash along with each product you use? I'd like a one stop shop video where I can see the entire process and know all the chemicals you're using instead of multiple videos.
Another good video Josh. I think CG have a few good products like nonsense, VRP & Lighting Fast. But what I think that make CG so popular is it’s readiness, can pretty much buy their products anywhere. I’ve learned a lot from your channel on which products to use, not use or what not and I thank you.
Thank you for the great content you’ve been putting out, look forward to watching all your videos when they come out, always great information about detailing 😎
I have a few CG products but I’ve learned to simplify them over the years as many products do the same and are misleading. Citrus wash I do like tho. Great content as always.
Every big car care product company has its hits and misses. So best thing to do is pick and choose what you like from Griots, CH , Adams, etc and use them how you see fit.
I agree with you. I’ve come to use Adam’s and have not found a reason to try anything else because I’ve been really happy with their products. Costco bucket of Chemical Guys draws attention however I do r need everything in the kit. Mr pink will be the first Chemical Guy product I will use though.
Josh you're right they have some good products. But way too much, to me its not about the customer but the profit. I've come to find they have terrible customer service and I can't stand that honestly. To me its ridiculous overmarketing, products aren't all bad but I won't support them personally
I watched your video on soaps last night and koch chemie active foam you mention is a safe start point for a pre-wash due to the pH. I believe this is the same. I'd like to try active foam, but it only comes in large quantities. I may give this a shot since I can get it in a small bottle. Also thanks for showing a smaller pressure washer with lower GPM.
If the water surface tension is not being broken after you rinse it, that means the soap is stripping, whatever sort of hydrophobic coating is on the paint. And it is not leaving its own hydrophobic coating. I’m not sure, you noticed this effect, how you can recommend that it will not strip waxes to any degree.
From my experience using 10 types of car washing soap, I personally like 4 types of soap. 1. Mr.Pink 2. Glossworkz 3. Honeydew Snow Foam 4. Citrus Wash & Gloss
This is the only one they sell at my local Walmart 🫤 kinda wish they would at least bring back that sticky snowball. Be even cooler if they sold the Adams mega foam. Be nice to pick it up locally instead of having to buy stuff online all the time.
The soap lays flat due to wetting agents in the soap some soaps use more wetting agents so the water can sheet more happens with certain soaps on my coated car.
If you get a chance to, I personally would love to see what you think of the new Torq ceramic spray. I love every ceracoat product you’ve reviewed. I’m just curious on your thoughts
Hey buddy I watch your videos and appreciate what u do! I do have a quick question. Did u ever fool with the 1900 psi ryobi with the wheels? Trying to find out the gpm with the nozzles u recommend.
Hey Josh another great video. I have a question not related to this video tho. Ok so I have purchased the active 2.0 and a cox hose reel. I also purchased a ymatic hose. The hose after I unroll it from the reel stays coiled up and is very difficult to work with. My question is will the hose you use do the same thing? Thank you.
Hey josh what products would you recommend on a car that doesn't see washes often lots of bugs and dirt that's been on for months not worried about striping waxes also.
Awesome videos, thank you! Especially liked your pressure washer reviews. Speaking of......would you know how to attach a UberFlex hose to a Karcher K3.690 pressure washer?
Another great video I have tried it out love the smell middle of the road on cleaning I like their wash and gloss and by the way the scammers have hit me up again they are a little more convincing with their texts
Really odd, I have had a similar experience where a certain car wash soap seems to kill the sealant on the hood but the rest of the car is still hydrophobic. And it happens to also have a PH of 8.5 🤷
Any recommendation help would be much appreciated currently using Ryobi PW 1.2GPM with Adams Mega Foam but looking for a better soap on all white Kia SUV? Should I do a Koch Chemie Prewash or just use a Neutral PH soap like Mr Pink? I just don't want the Florida bugs, saltwater, and sun killing our new vehicle.
Bro! I have this exact pressure washer - Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm electric, and bought the MJJC Pro because of all your videos… but HOW do you get that much foam? What ratio of soap to water do you use? Is it possible I’m not using the same temp or type of water to mix with? Or maybe the vehicles I’m applying it to have waxed surfaces? I just don’t get the same amount of foam even after switching to the 1.1mm orifice.
CG does have good products but it’s really just a marketing scheme vrp lasts a week on exterior their wash and waxes don’t wax. Their clean slate strip wax doesn’t strip all of the waxes or sealants. Diablo wheel gel is basically a defective product wheel cleaners stents supposed to be ph Neutral.
I have to agree with others, CG used to be great, but they saturated their own products with some poorly working products. I've since switched to TW, Adams, Ethos, and Gyeon
My first bottle of snow foam was CG Honeydew, but that was before i began treating my hard water and i was using the wrong pressure washer. I quickly moved on to Adam's and never went back.
Do you still use your active 2.0? Mine doesn’t seem to work with the foam cannon if I use a 1.0 orfice with mine it just spews a little water out and doesn’t do anything is that normal?
I do! They recommend using a 1.25 orifice with that machine… I personally still use a 1.1 and don’t have any issues with it. The 1.0 might be cause too much draw on the machine
I was thinking that too but since this is supposed to have wax in it it should have made it better not worse. Plus the same on the other 2 vehicles… but like I said the rest of my car didn’t have any issue… I was confused by that for sure
It’s just carnauba wax so all it’s gunna do is shine it a bit but it seems like a good regular soap to use like a mr pink. If you really want something with protection then Armor all ceramic car wash is the go but that one is not very slick but you do get the protection and hydrophobic properties.
I personally believe CG have great products. But it’s no secret this company is aware they have to continuously have to “ create “ a new product to keep their customers excited and engage in order for them to remain profitable and within the communities eye’s. How ever , I do agree having too many products could be a bit too much bc then this will question the quality of their products or just another lame product. I’m certain for every “ new “ product is really just a copy from a previous product they already offer with a “ slight change “ of profile. Remember guy’s, this is just marketing and a way for them to remain “ legit “.
OK a point or two.. Why do you (and other testers) always show product used on a SPARKLING CLEAN vehicle.. From my view all you are doing is spraying foam on an object and either watching it run off or spraying it off and then saying oh that makes "blah blah" foam... Doesn't really show if the product works or is just pretty...don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but lets see a REAL test on a dirty vehicle..
Really think CG is all about cool looking designs on there bottles . That’s it
Yeah really just all marketing but I guess it pays off 🤷♀️
lol yea i think that sometimes as well
For the most part I agree. They do have a couple products I’ve had really great results with. That nonsense cleaner is great.

It’s so mind-boggling how people still buy this stuff. Even after the former employee exposed how their products are watered down.

mjjc is the goat foam cannon. I use it with the ryobi 1800 1.2gpm pressure washer and it works great
My favorite by far!

A comparison with Extreme Wash&Wax by CG and Sudpreme Wash&Wax by CG would be cool
I saw it at Walmart and thought about getting it but I have way too many soaps already! Great review though!
I always try the CG products just to see if they’re any good, some of them aren’t bad, nice video

I see that v3 mjjc foam cannon in the background 😮
CG no nonsense is money and I like the sticky snowball soap is great too

Maxi Suds II Strawberry Margarita Soap (not for scent but it's light dye) for my PH neutral- 1:10 foam cannon - 1:128 bucket $22gal
I just picked up a bottle of this from Walmart, it was the only soap they had In stock when I got it.
I think ima give it a try. But I want to thank for introducing me to the technician choice ceramic detail spray. I love it.

I do like citrus wash and Mr pink.

Keep up the good work, thanks for the videos.

Would love to see a review on the meguiars ceramic tireshine along with the new sudslabs ceramic hybrid-coat!
Coming soon!
I used the hydro coat, not as good as bead maker protection but works well for a drying aid. It smells like really strong blue raspberry.
I watched your video on soaps last night and koch chemie active foam you mention is a safe start point for a pre-wash due to the pH. I believe this is the same. I'd like to try active foam, but it only comes in large quantities. I may give this a shot since I can get it in a small bottle. Also thanks for showing a smaller pressure washer with lower GPM.
Thanks josh I finally got my mjjc foam cannon ver2 I have not been able to use it yet weather is still crappy but I will probably try mr pink thanks

And it is not leaving its own hydrophobic coating. I’m not sure, you noticed this effect, how you can recommend that it will not strip waxes to any degree.
CG does seem to just pump out product after product. Feels more like quantity over quality. I do like their tire shine. I've found that works well.
100% agree that they have way too many products with sometimes confusing names.
Chem guys definately isn't crap lol. Are there some better products out there? Sure.
Thanks for showing us the product bro.
From my experience using 10 types of car washing soap, I personally like 4 types of soap.
1. Mr.Pink
2. Glossworkz
3. Honeydew Snow Foam
4. Citrus Wash & Gloss
In my opinion, anything that is soapy will point towards the more alkaline side, which will be greater than pH 7
from whatvI know, having an alkaline pH won't strip any protection as opposed to an acid pH will (0 ~ 7 pH)
Used it today and got nice results
Would anyone agree that the last thing that Chemical Guys needs is another car soap, shampoo,etc....
They do have plenty that I myself enjoy. JS
I agree... too many options of the same product.
I still use the honeydew snow foam
Agreed! I personally use Mr. Pink.
Great info and super detailed (no pun) thank you.
What short spray gun are you using?
Looking forward to the next video.
This is the only one they sell at my local Walmart 🫤 kinda wish they would at least bring back that sticky snowball. Be even cooler if they sold the Adams mega foam. Be nice to pick it up locally instead of having to buy stuff online all the time.

The soap lays flat due to wetting agents in the soap some soaps use more wetting agents so the water can sheet more happens with certain soaps on my coated car.

Hey buddy I watch your videos and appreciate what u do! I do have a quick question. Did u ever fool with the 1900 psi ryobi with the wheels? Trying to find out the gpm with the nozzles u recommend.
Is it OK to store a mixed soap solution and use when needed instead of mixing every time you need to do a wash?
Could you do a review of Sun Joe SPX-FCS1G Premium Snow Foam Cannon Pineapple Pressure Washer Rated Car Wash Soap and Cleaner
Thanks for the video. Which soap do you think gives the highest Gloss?
Honeydew snow foam is the best! I have to try this new stuff.
Hey Josh another great video. I have a question not related to this video tho. Ok so I have purchased the active 2.0 and a cox hose reel. I also purchased a ymatic hose.

Better late than never
Great review! Thanks so much
I've got a 2011 5th wheel. Im wondering the best way to get the moss and black specks off. And restore the gloss.
Can you make a Meguiars Wash & Wax Shampoo Review like this one.
Do you have classes? You're local and I'd pay for you to come by and show me how to wash my car lol
Another great video I have tried it out love the smell middle of the road on cleaning I like their wash and gloss and by the way the scammers have hit me up again they are a little more convincing with their texts
What do you think is better, cg sticky snowball or mega foam if there is a winner between the two
Love the videos Josh!👍🎉
Josh, what do you have your mjjc set at, both adjustments? I just got one, but I've only used it once. Didn't have time to mess with it. Thanks.
Have you tried out the Sooprinse foam cannon ? Looks like a decent unit but curious how it performs.
Really odd, I have had a similar experience where a certain car wash soap seems to kill the sealant on the hood but the rest of the car is still hydrophobic. And it happens to also have a PH of 8.5 🤷

Have you ever came across or used any jax wax products? Had a local store open up near me and wasn't sure if they were worth the hype or not.
What was the PH of just the water?
What are your thoughts on “endless shine” products? Have u ever tried em ?
Any car soaps that i can use a foam cannon that has some sort of protection in it too?
What size orifice do you have in your MJJC when you use the Active 2.0?
In my opinion their best product is "Invisible cleaner"
I wish there products were a little bit cheaper. I personally think they would sell more at a lower price
Yeah something was going on with that rinse on the hood
But yeah everything else rinse fine
what are you using when your scrubbing the car?
It's NOT soap it's a synthetic detergent ( surfactant ) Chemical Guys are absolutely excellent quality . Expensive .
I’ll stick with Adams mega foam
would you recommend the co chemy soap or the adams megafoam?
I have to agree with others, CG used to be great, but they saturated their own products with some poorly working products. I've since switched to TW, Adams, Ethos, and Gyeon
Good job brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My biggest gripe with chemical guys is that EVERY single bottle nozzle leaks when stored
I used to use honeydew snow foam a lot back in the day. Tried a few more of their soaps, all the same. They leave a residue, always bugged me haha.
yeah, i stick to koch chemie and gyeon now for soaps
My first bottle of snow foam was CG Honeydew, but that was before i began treating my hard water and i was using the wrong pressure washer. I quickly moved on to Adam's and never went back.
17 soaps and the crazy thing is they made a video breaking down each soap trying to justify all their different uses !
Are you using a wash mitt or a towel?

@@imjoshv ohhhh! Okay maybe that’s why crazy the 1.1 works ok but 1.0 doesn’t. I’ll order some 1.1 thanks for the fast reply 🔥
Gloss workz car soap is pretty good
Maybe since you washed the hood twice Maybe it removed all of the wax or polish that was present
I was thinking that too but since this is supposed to have wax in it it should have made it better not worse. Plus the same on the other 2 vehicles… but like I said the rest of my car didn’t have any issue… I was confused by that for sure
I like there water spot remover
It’s just carnauba wax so all it’s gunna do is shine it a bit but it seems like a good regular soap to use like a mr pink. If you really want something with protection then Armor all ceramic car wash is the go but that one is not very slick but you do get the protection and hydrophobic properties.
Does the Mjjc come with the 1.1 orfice?
Yes it does! You have to swap it out but it does come with it
He forsure filling that jug with water and returning it 😂
What soaps do u really love?

Nice foam but don’t like the P H 8 level . Weekend worrior.
For the average daily driver I have ram 2500 I will stick to the jay leno car wash
I stay away from Hollweird products.
@Come On Cents it's basically adams car wash
CG DIRT AND GRIME!!😂
What do you want out of your business??
What is your favorite soaps?
Chemical Guys has a Nike strategy. Cheap, sold everywhere, and expensive.
Nike isn't sold everywhere.
Would you send it to me ?
One of the reasons stopping me to not buy their chemicals because they make the sake shit for branding. Just different labels 🤣🤣🤣
