Amazon car care...

[Benjamin Yates]

Hey guys,

looking into some different car care products and I know there are some high-end stuff out there. I am looking for something that is not junk but not multiple of hundreds of dollars. I found some different packages from Chemical Guys on amazon and was wondering if anybody had experience with them or another solution? linking the package that I am looking at below

I use the chemical guys products and have been very satisfied . They have some good how to videos on you tube . compare prices on the chemical guys website.

I recently bought chemical guys soap for my foam cannon and I really like it. That's the only product I have from them currently but I will try others as I run out of my current supplies.

Paint always looks good like new. Almost no water spots after rain dirt doesn’t stick nothing does. I wouldn’t use anything else. No complaints

Glass cleaner sucks.
Honey dew is good
Butter wax is ok but there are more durable options
Noodle mitt is great, buy 6 or so
Wheel brush is good
Microfibres are fine
I have not used the rest.

Generally the CG sprayers suck and I end up decanting them into other sprayers when they fail.

I prefer Adams over CG for everything but polishing pads. I use CG pads.

Chemical Guys is kinda like Harbor Freight....a handful of really good products amongst several that are average or below. OK for the average guy cleaning his car in the driveway but they aren't on par with higher end products.

I used to exclusively use CG. Then I started to notice exactly what you're saying.

I've tried most of the other brands, but switched most of my stuff to Shine Supply since then. Everything works really well and it keeps things simple. The only knock on them is I can't get it on Amazon like I could with CG.
