Chemical Guys

FSHNGRY · 10-29-2021, 12:14 AM

I've been an "Adams Polishes" believer, official unofficial sponsor, fanboy, etc.

I have it all.

I googled if any detailing supply store locally would have it to purchase off the shelf versus waiting for the UPS truck, and I stumbled upon "Detailers Garage" off of Pine Island Road and 595 (If you're in South Florida)

David- super cool / no b.s. kinda guy, was helpful and convinced me to try the comparable products.

I hate to say it, but the 3 products I use now are from "Chemical Guys" and !!!!!! WOW what a difference.

Does anyone else have experience with the brand?

I've used both Adam's and Chemical Guys and enjoy products from both of them. There are loads of CG products that are fantastic and I've had great luck with quite a few of their products (foam snow cannon + honeydew auto wash is blissful).

Which CG products are you using now? Maybe there's one I will have to try!

Also, totally unrelated but I absolutely love your car. You've done such a tasteful and amazing job putting it all together. Huge props!

Have used quite a few of their products with mostly just average results. I've had good success with their fabric cleaner but that's about it.

In my opinion they do a great job with their marketing and most of their products are reasonably priced but they're much superior products out there. Some of my favorite product lines are CarPro, Gyeon, GTechniq, and Bilt Hamber (outstanding snow foam and wheel cleaner but quite expensive and very few distributors in this country).

Agree, and I just bought a jug of the concentrated fabric cleaner, not for the M5, but I have an old Ford Ranger with a filthy interior and I plan to clean the whole interior upholstery with this Citrus Fabric clean product. I may even rent a hot water extractor to make the process go smoother. I have tested this product on a few small areas and it has worked very well even at a 20:1 dilution ratio, so I'm sure if I need to I can mix some at a stronger ratio to get the job done

I use the butter wet wax in both paste and spray forms
Love it
Smells good too

I use their blue soap, called high gloss or something like that.
I like the neutral PH level, as it leaves a nice clear shine on my ceramic coating.

Chemical guys are great.

This company as well has some killer products.

Has anyone used Jay Leon's products?

Kstoff125 · 12-17-2022, 09:14 AM

Definitely try 3D Products.

www.3DProducts.com

Make some amazing stuff. Bead it up is one of the best “instant retailers” I have used. There ceramic is also tbe best on the market IMO.

If you have a DA polisher they make a product called Speed that will correct, polish and protect, really solid product.

Lots of tech behind their products including the abrasives that go into the compounds (like speed) which is really the secret sauce to any paint correction product.

As an example, their 2oz bottle of ceramic touch spray, is filled with nitrogen to prevent crystallizing prior to use.

I only use CG products for years now. Great results every time 😎

Edit: just realized the guy above me resurrected this thread from a year ago. He got me

Anytime I wonder about a product and it’s competitors or what works I go check out posts from Pan the Organizer. He does periodic updates and compares across the board and in specific categories too.
