Chemical Guys Products?

[asianisafish]

I've had good experience with their metal polish and some of their microfiber towels. Their butter wet wax is similar to megs #26 but last longer but doesn't give as good as a wet look on my silver car

If I remember correctly their
Silk shine
AllClean
Citrus wash & Gloss
is decent to use

As much as I moan about CGs, I do love some of their products. Some of the stuff by the gallon is awesome. I have like a 4 year old bottle of CW & G I used yesterday. It's so old it's turned white (was yellow). Still a great soap.

Citrus red is a great soap. I mix it like 1:32 in a foaming sprayer to clean wheels and trim that don't require APC.

A gallon of Sticky Wheel Cleaner has lasted me years and is a good high pH wheel cleaner. Use it all the time.

I always use Grime Reaper to clean wheel wells. No APC foams up as good as it does.

Speed Wipe is a great QD.

Fan of the Synthetic QD. Nice gloss, slick to the touch and priced right to use often. After sitting in the garage all week, the dust will fall of practically backing out of the driveway.

I agree with others, Chemical Guys customer service is horrible. I sent them two emails about an issue I have and two weeks later, no response. I'll buy my detailing products elsewhere.

You really need to have a crack with their products to see what works for you. For example, I LOVE their orange hex pads with V36 polish as a one step, but V32/4 sucks. All trial and error.

FYI, my likes/dislikes:

Like:
- V36
- Orange Hex pad
- VRP dressing
- Hybrid V7 (game changer for me)
- JetSeal (it's "pretty good", but not amazing)

Dislike:

- Instawax (messiest c**p I've ever used, but it does work well as a wax, and removes very easily)
- V32/4 (just didn't work for me, plus the bottles have a tendency to "spurt"polish everywhere)

On the fence:
- hex pads (they work quite well and clean up well, but degrade quickly)

I had the issues with them cleared up... It was quite the struggle though.

Yeah, I got hooked on the green and blue hex logic pads, but fortunately, they're made by Buff and Shine. I have a pad design idea that I want to throw at them for my personal use with those foam compositions. I like to have the option of a variegated, and a flat pad surface.

I also absolutely love their pad cleaner..

I'm really not as knowledgeable, as some here, & this is the place to be educated:

My experience with CG (perhaps 2 yrs), some products good & some very poor:

Dealing with customer support is a nightmare:

I bought a hose end "spray washer" after watching the very enticing video. 1st time using, product was defective, as it sprayed water, mostly on me. Call CG, & please wait, no action, call again "we will get back to you", nothing, call again your "time limit for return has expired. Letters to upper mgt, ignored. What finally got me a hose end "washer" was threat to complain to: BBB. This process took 3 months & honestly the product I got was definitely previously used.

Plus side - I previously only used Meg. Gold Class Soap, for my 2 bucket wash. CG's Citrus Wash is great shine & strip. Honeydew soap is great, likewise Glossworkz top notch. Jet seal, black wax, better shop AG's products.

I was thoroughly indoctrinated with CG, & forum member, & skeptical when entertaining PBMG products, but now, will not buy or post at CG. I really liked & believed, there (skinny Hispanic looking, video star), this guy, was truly OSCAR caliber. He, immediately caused a kinship or brotherhood, making products believable & desirable.

For me: Mike & PBMG are a safe haven!

Good price when buying it by the gallon.
