    Mr. Pink conspiracy theory

    I purchased a gallon of CG Maxi Suds a couple years ago and loved it. Fast forward to last year when I purchased a new gallon and noticed the smell was different. It seemed to work just as well. I recently received a sample of Mr. Pink and noticed it smells remarkable like the old Maxi Suds. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible that Mr. Pink is just a rebranded previous version on Maxi Suds?

    I thought of this (and posted something similar a while ago).

    To me:

    1/2 cup of Maxi Suds II + 1/2 cup of H20 = 1 cup of Mr Pink

    Mr Pink... Blah.

    I know that Maxi Suds II has fans in the forums. I've used both in a foam gun (not cannon), with very mediocre results. Neither foamed up well for me. Results with foam gun seem to depend on quality of water that you have. For me, the CG citrus line, clear, wash & gloss, and red, foamed up much better and rinsed off easier. Honeydew was also very good. Mr. Pink and Maxi Suds II are sitting on the shelf.

    Agreed Mr. Pink sucks. I made a mistake and bought a gallon when it was first released. It is by far the worst car wash I have in my collection. Poor lubricity and cleaned about as good as pure water. I now only use it to clean my wheels and in my foam cannon.

    Re: Mr. Pink conspiracy theory

    A bit off topic, but an "amusing to me" story about CG soaps in the gallon size. A couple months back CG has a massive clearance sale of soaps with the older white labels that they have now replaced with updated colored vinyl labels. They were unloading the 16oz pints of the soaps at $1 each. In typically odd CG pricing they were also selling gallons for $10. I picked up 24 of the pints split between citrus clear, wash & gloss, and red. The guy at the counter asked me why I was buying 24 bottles of 16oz soap ($1) instead of gallon size ($10). I casually mentioned that there are eight 16oz pints in a gallon. Go figure.

    Mr. Pink was one of the worst car washes I've ever used. Seriously anything from wall mart would probably work as well or better.

    This is a conspiracy?
    From where did this visceral feeling arise?
