Chemical Guys?

After browsing their website, they want you to believe ALL of their products are the BEST things by a country mile!! I find that hard to believe. So, are there any CG products that live up to their hype?
 
I have Citrus Wash and Extreme Offensive Odor Remover + Bacteria Killer. Haven't used CW yet but Odor Remover is great. I also hear great things about JetSeal.
 
the CG's washes (CW&G, CWC, GWZ) are pretty economical and if you buy one gallon it will last a pretty long time. many sites (not all) will say their products are best, it's marketing and they want you to buy their products. in the end, you'll have to find out for yourself...
 
Yeah, the Citrus Wash & Gloss and Citrus Wash & Clear probably do live up to the hype. I've bought a lot of their other products and was disappointed with all of them. As in, I'll never order them again. The two types of soap are always in my arsenal. Like BigAl3 said, we're just giving our impression - order some small bottles of things you'd like to try and decide if that's what you like. Take it from me, don't place a huge order getting everything in gallon sizes only to find out after one use that you don't care for it.
 
I thought the "Sticky Gel Citrus Wheel Cleaner" did a good job and I'd buy it again once the gallon I have runs out (1gal makes 5 gallons working)

I however didn't like their Orange Degreaser product.
 
They do make some ridiculous claims with a dizzying array of overlapping products.

For the most part, their product line is very good and user friendly.

The citrus washes are very good; E-Z Creme Glaze is very nice, the cleaners and dressings work well.

However, I never really cared for their compounds.....they're a bit rough in use and there are many better options out there.
 
I'll second the Citrus Wash and Clear/Shine have both in my arsenal as well as Sticky Wheel Gel and the Bacteria Odor Eliminator one. Been wanting to try out one of their LSP's haven't decided which though.
 
I like their stuff overall. Never disappointed in their items. They offer good advice and know their stuff. Each to their own. Paul can be brusque but that is part of his charm at the same time. It does make you wonder how much they have ends up being repackaged by others. Love their synthetic quick detailer and Jet Seal

Actually it was the other way around mostly. They did stuff for a lot of other brands. It's all on here if you search.
 
CW&G, CW&C, Maxi SudsII are staples for my wash. EZ glaze is really great as well. Fade2Black is a solid product. Pete's is a great wax. Leather conditioner with Vitamin E and Aloe is really good maintenance. Diablo is ok, but I prefer P21S still.
 
....I haved used and like their Citrus Wash & Clear. I have the Gloss as well but for the purposes I use it for, I prefer the Clear. I have also used their Water Spot Remover with excellent results. In all fairness though, I have not used other WSR-specific products so I have nothing to compare it to.

unfortunately, it seems like either someone has a good experience or really bad one with them. bad customer service is just not good for any business...
 
CG50/50 is my favorite wax, and costs less than 1/4 compared to some other stuff I've tried.
 
I bought some of their microfiber, it was the monster 550 towels. I was not impressed. They were no where near as fluffy as indicated in the review. Way too hyped up. My towels from PakShak were much nicer.



Not to mention their shipping cost almost as much as their towels! Who knew microfiber was so heavy?

I had the EXACT same experience. I'll never stray from PakShak again.
 
they are the biggest scam company in the industry... all their cust. serv. reps lie and lie and they lost my business after my first purchase since the level of dishonesty was to great for my likings

I have never had an issue with them being rude but they are definitely arrogant (when they answer the phone). Paul will slam pretty much any other competitor's products calling it crap and such. I loved the time he told me that Klasse SG's claims of durability were BS, he claimed it only lasts a week or two. I should have just hung up then.
 
Citrus Wash and Gloss is great for stripping wax and if diluted properly makes a great regular car wash soap, probably my favorite. I have no real interest in any of their other products.
