I just did my white truck and it looks great with a nice gloss. I heard it only lasts 3 months though.....it is billed to last longer, so I was a little disappointed.
I love their Citrus Wash & Gloss soap. It has the most suds for a bucket wash. A lot of their soaps are terrible for a bucket. In my opinion, they're really watered down. The Stripper Scent is PHENOMENAL! Probably my all time favorite from any company. Nonsense is fabulous. I even use it full strength to clean my grill. The grease literally wipes away. Great video Pan!
I bought the 16 piece kit for my pressure washer. My truck now have a mirror finish and the wheel clean made it easy to clean my wheels. I highly recommend this product.
Pan TheOrganizer I started trying to find out which products I should use and came across your channel. You videos are very informative and I was able to learn a lot
I'm not a CG fanatic but is that not the purpose to have many many products so you can choose and see what works for you. I've tried meguiars compound and does nothing to my car so I try a different polish of them and works well. Yes they do have a shit ton of products that basically might or might not do the same but that's when you have the option to choose what works for you.
Lots of CG trolls and no objective reviews. I've only got a few of their products and they work quite well. People need to keep their systems simple, no need to buy all of their products. Many detailers I've noticed only use a couple of products and learn how best to use them. Price is subjective.
I have to agree with everything you've said. I have been doing lots of brand reviews on my channel, as I'm not biased to only one company. I love trying products from as many companies as I can, and build my main arsenal with the ones I prefer. I have noticed that the CG products often get the most hate but rarely backed by concrete evidence. It's like the cool thing to not like CG... There are many good products in their lineup and if you take the time and learn how to use them properly (like any other product) you should be satisfied. We're on the same page on that one! ;)
No ojective reviews? How about my friend appkying cquartz to his f80 m3 and after washing it over spand of 1 season with CG honey "ph neutral" soap there was pure water sheeting. Zero beading. To test this further iput it on my m4 carbon bits as car has frozen paint so i cant apply it to that. I used their matte paint soap and within 1 season there is zero water beading. So the ph neutral bit is total bullshit. They foam up very nice and clean super super well. But soemtimes too well. Ffs their matte jet seal gets stripped in one wash by their matte car wash soap. There are some good reliable products too like leather cleaner floor mat cleaner, air scents, leather balm and iron remover. If i had someone that sells carpro products near me id pick carpro any day over chemical guys. But again chemical guys is def way better than typical stuff you can buy from canadian tire.
I love seeing the extreme similarities between these products, Adam’s, and other brands. The way they work and smell are often extremely close. The leather cleaner and conditioner is very, very similar. VRP and Adam’s VRT are exactly the same . Anyone who has ever used Griot’s Speed Shine can attest to the fact that it looks, smells, and performs exactly the same as Adam’s much-lauded detail spray. List goes on and on, I’ve always just found it interesting.
My understanding of the industry is that there are only a handful of actual product manufacturers. Then, major brands just do private labeling of the same product and often simply change the color, odor and some minor tweaks to separate them from their competitors, and then it's marketing from there on.
Wow, what a line up that you reviewed Pan! I actually use many of those products, with great results I might add. There were some I had never heard of, so thanks for the review. Keep up the great work!
Pan TheOrganizer I love Black on Black for the engine compartment, I am always getting compliments on how great that looks! I also use GlossWorkz, Heavy Metal Polish, Silk Shine (I actually use this for my tire dressing!), All Clean, and Jet Seal. I can’t wait for our weather to break so I can detail!
Their products are an odd bunch. Most of them are just re-hashes of the same product (which aren't that good to begin with) but you do find the occasional one that is actually quite good. Blacklight and Jetseal are the only ones that I will ever use. They don't last long but give pretty good results. On the up side, they do produce really good air sprays, that seems to be the only positive.
I have to strongly disagree. Iv used best of the best from mother’s to even older companies products. And none of them come close to CG and it seems CG is climbing to the top faster then anyone could have predicted. Only thing I still use other then CG is mother’s mag polish now they do have the best polish for chrome bumpers and wheels.
Read my comment above. Stay away from the Butter Wet Wax as it gave me bubbles that are all over the car and hard enough that they pull fibers out of any cloth you may think you'd like to use, including the soft side of a car cover!!!
Used Hybrid V07 for YEARS, which turned me on to synthetic polymers. But now I'm going to try your reviewed Turtle Wax Ice Seal & Shine after seeing the tests you gave it. Thanks.
Their pink shampoo is awesome and the drying spray they have is just amazing. The silk shine dressing and the citrus degreaser are just awesome as well!
even though there are a ton of CG products and some of them are basically the same, there are still lots I use all the time. Some of my favorites are all clean and silk n shine. Also love their leather products. Each to their own!
CG is the first leather cleaning set I have used. Usually I just get the all n one stuff. Night and day difference. Not only does it totally revive the leather and make it seem more plush and smell good, but the cleaner got rid of a leather discoloration that has been in the back seat of a car I cleaned that has been there for years. Very pleased with the leather care.
i might have zoned out but i didn't see you mention their banana wax in the spray bottle. man i love this stuff, i use it on my carbon fiber hood and it works so well. i just got the cherry scented detail quick shine spray. this one also works well and helps me maintain a clean car through out the week with all the heavy polling we get in the south.
A selection of products. 👍🏻 i mainly use CG for my detailing. Maxi suds 2 in snow foam and the gloss works auto wash for a maintance wash. The nonsense is great for foot pedals and steeringwheels 👌🏻 All round great products.
I didnt realized that this is from pan the organizer. Im so excited. Im like screaming right now with excitement. I hate cleaning my car, but I had such bad experience at car wash shops. My car got damage and got scratch by car wash machines. I rather just do it myself at least if I damage my car, its my fault. Lol
I have used VRP on my 2007 Trailblazer's cowl, running boards and plastic trim, it's worked so far, I even used it on my wife's 2007 HHR. made those oxidized plastic panels look new. I haven't used it on tires yet.
I've used the diablo wheel cleaner, silk shine dressing, mr. Pink suds, and blacklight glaze. I like them all. Mostly the blacklight because it brings more depth to reveal the metallic flakes in the color better, makes the surface really slick, and smells good.
I know there is a lot of hate towards Chemical Guys products, When I started my detailing business I started with there products. Till this day i use there products I have never had any problems. I love all there products. Thank you Pan for the review of there products. One that I find Essential to keep in stock is Lighting Fast. We live in the desert and carpets tend to be a bit more messy.
The leather conditioner is extremely effective on couches as well just a fyi for anyone wondering (not used it on generic “fake” leather and don’t think it’s a good idea to use anything other then soapy water on fake leather)
After using a few of there products I feel there pretty good and smell amazing but Maguires in my opinion does a better job just a tad bit harder to work with such as buffing and polishing compounds.
Great review Pan, I feel Chemical Guys has gotten a lot of flak over the years. Some justified, but most of it not backed up by any hard evidence whatsoever. In my diverse detailing arsenal I have plenty of CG products that work great and that I don't consider to be overpriced.
It’s common. People will regurgitate what they hear on RUclips/reddit/forums. I understand some if the complaints CG gets like you said, but some stuff people complain about is just petty.
I'll be honest with you i don't have the slides idea. I was serfing you tube about Chimical Guys waxes n foam cannon sprayers n i found your channel n let me say it was very helpful when u were talking about the cain of wax to use in the car. I wash n wax my car the old fashion way know i wash my car the Chimical Guys way. Thank you for those tip . Thumb up for your teaching on the Chimical Guys wax. Have a great day. Take care
I know its an old video, but it gives me some comfort that my Jet Seal I just got isn't a waste. Was excited about machine applying this weekend but saw so many haters on YT :'(
There are way better products now. This is an old video. Here is something that lasts longer and is less expensive: ruclips.net/video/49DtbUBHMpg/видео.html
I have enjoyed some of these products, though the cost is kinda high. I've started using Turtle Wax ICE and am very satisfied. Thank you for sharing this video.
Pan TheOrganizer It was on my suggested channels, I watch car review and repair\maintenance channels. I guess YT's algorithm Is working well. Your channel is a hidden gem! The fact that you're also Canadian was a huge bonus!
So I enjoy chemical guys, because they have so many products. If I need tire shine, I can pick from Water based, oil Based, High shine, Satin, Low shine.
Thats why they have so many products because different people have different wants and needs. Some like the silk and shine because it leaves a natural shine and some like the G6 hyper coat dressing for high shine finish. The thing is with Chemical guys they have so many products because they have different customers in mind. Me I like my car to shine, sparkle even if I can get it to do that. My husband on the other hand likes a more matt look or natural new car shine. So I have to buy the two different dressings to make each of our cars how we want them to look. So I took some time did some research with each product found the ones that we needed to match what we want as an end result. I actually find I enjoy the selection for different peoples tastes. I have to say thats not a gimmick but it is seeing people have different tastes in their cars looks.
Thank you for your answer.I right now have four black vehicles that’s why am starting out in detailing, and so far I prefer Adams products also,eventually I would like to move to customers cars to make a little extra money.I watch a lot of videos and they’ve been very helpful. Thanks again Fred
I ended up picking up the chemical guys sprayable leather to keep my boots cleaned and protected and to try out on my leather phone case just to see how well it works out
I have used an air freshener and the v32-8 compound polish line and their hex logic pads. I can say the air fresheners don't last too long, I really like their compounds and polishes and they work as advertised. I just needed the rest of their pads as I only have a few.
You did a great job of highlighting some of their best products. Silk Shine, VRP, Citrus Wash and Gloss and the Honeydew air fresheners are staples for me. I finally found the EZYME wax at a better sale price and have to say that it's a really good choice for your special car.
Montréal you buy chemical Guys in Bumper to Bumper store in Laval but it’s cheaper to buy in online or go to Toronto is cheaper. Some times you can get a bucket deal of chemical guys at Home Depot but it goes super fast every spring
So far the few ( and I mean few ) products I have tried from CG seem to be pretty good. The part that sux is that they have so many products that are alike that it confuses one. Do I buy this one, ops no they make this that does that plus this. They just have way to many products. Thanks for the reviews Pan.
Ive tried a couple of their products and im not biased as ive got my hands a pretty wide variety of company products starting from Turtle Wax to Armor All to Ammo NYC and CG. The CG have some decent stuff. That Speed Wipe with the cherry scent has had me pretty happy the times I've used it after a wash and some minor dirt has gotten onto my vehicle. I have a dark red chrysler 200s and this detailer spray works great. Ive used turtle wax black detailer on it too and had some good results from that as well. Other CG products that I've tried are the V07 sealant (its ok. Nothing special) the interior new car smell air freshener. I just ordered the honey dew snow foam along with Mr. Pink to give it a full wash this weekend. The only AMMO NYC product I've managed to try because Larry's stuff is kinda expensive but worth what ive tried in the hydrate spray. Larry is also someone im always constatly watching along with Pan. Not brand biased at all but the hate on CG is real apparently for some weird reasons that often from what ive read in these comments arent even about the product itself lol Speed Wipe is legit amazing for me. I hope Mr. Pink and the Honey Dew Snow Foam work out too. But the rest of this line up is interesting. A lot of products with some that have different levels of how it works which can be confusing to most buyers. Wish they simplified that a little bit more. Glad you did a breakdown of their products and it helps me out in deciding what to get next and try out. Thanks Pan!
Pan TheOrganizer Pan my man, you came up in the suggestions when i was watching Larry's hour and a half beginners video to detailing about a week ago and since then i subbed and watched what you do compared to Larry and kinda fuse you guys together. Keep up the good work Pan!!!
Pan TheOrganizer yeah! Frothe looks awesome and would help me as I live in the desert and there are some water restrictions in my city. It might be my next investment. Been meaning to let Larry know how much ive loved the hydrate spray so far too. Hopefully hes got time to see it. But, for you Pan. I gotta hand it to you for being responsive to our comment. Your vids have been helpful!
Great video Pan I like how you get right to the point of the video and keep it on topic!! I'm just looking for a QD spray suggestion for using on top of Jet Seal that won't interfere and allow me to layer the JS down the road while providing gloss and maybe some protection too in between JS applications. I still use KAIO and use it as a QD too where it's water based and I've been happy for a few years with that. Getting back into detailing after five years of nothing I'm just trying new products and enjoying the results. Thanks for the great videos!!
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan I ordered some yesterday actually against by better judgement vs what all is currently in my supply cabinets. Great review on the product keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the positive feedback! How did you discover my channel by the way? Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 1 million subscribers and we have over 140 million views! I have been detailing for 27 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
@@PanTheOrganizer Well i took the risk and bought a black truck haha, searched for best ways to take care of my paint and saw your channel, i subscribed and since then, by following your tips my truck has been looking like new 👌🏼
I like their VRP for trim and tires. I have done my inner fender liners too. I've tried their synthetic instant detailer. I found it worked fine but didn't really add much to my current arsenal which is primarily optimum and opti-coat line products. Lastly I used the inner-clean. Works as advertised. It smells nice which is a plus. Lately I've been using diluted ONR and haven't noticed a difference. ONR is cheaper to buy and leaves a nice blueberry scent.
@@PanTheOrganizer I am a bit of a detail nut by hobby and found your channel through searching/researching detailing products. One video of yours on tire dressings made me look into VRP after seeing it on the shelf at a local part store.
Just because CG has many different soaps, doesnt mean you have to buy them all. It gives you a variety of what you like. The fact you can buy honey dew, than when that bottle is finished, you have such a variety to switch up on. They all are similar but do have different shines and smells. Some foam better than others too. I have alot of products from CG and tested many of the products.
Leather scent , clay luber, citrus gloss and citrus red (which they don’t make anymore )are the only CG products I use . Thanks for the review on the other products .
Pan TheOrganizer I joined about a year ago when you started to focus more on detailing and saw your interior cleaning video from suggested videos thanks for taking the time to do this videos
@@PanTheOrganizer You take so much time reviewing products,helping us,sharing Your knowledge...enthusiastically so! Thank You! The world needs more people like You, Pan!!
Very nice video. I wrote down all the products so I can search for them as now here in Madeira Island there is a Chemical Guys suplier but for sure he will nor have them all. Detailing here is quite a new thing.
Oh nice! An archipelago of Portugal! My girlfriend and I plan on visiting Portugal in April/May 2019! Seems like a beautiful country! It’s nice to see that detailing is picking up on remote islands too! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan!! I found you here on youtube around a year or so now. I love car detailing and it is a thing that I really want to get very deep into. I have a humungous passio for cars and for taking good care of. You were the first car detailer that came up on my youtube channel. Portugal is a nice place and I recommend you to visit Madeira if possible as tickets from the main land to the island are so expensive. For an example, my sister is going for xmas from Faro, Algarve to New Jersey, USA for less money than from Faro to Madeira and it is almost 200 euros less. So you can see how ridiculous prices are. Well but going back to the subject...lol. We have swaped messages on youtube a few times already but of course it is almost impossible for you to remember as like you said, you've got over 100k subscribers. My dream is to live in Canada. Hope we can keep intouch and that I can learn more and more from you. Regards.
I use barebones for an undercarriage sealant basically after underwashing vehicles it works very well however I never thought to spray some and spread it with a sponge or cloth it does last for months,an overall well made product
Are used to hate their products with the passion but I mean I was that one trauma that would literally does them until one day I ran out of dish soap to wash my car and I decided to use the citrus wash and boy has my opinion changed their products really work sure their marketing may be a little bit corny and they oversell but trust me you have to try them really really good never going back
Thanks Pan for the good review on CG products. I can personally attest to the great performance of their Glossworkz shampoo. I use it on my black ceramic coated 370Z with a concentration of 1 oz per gallon of water for the contact wash and it does an excellent job. The wash really shines in my foam gun where I use it at a mixing ratio of 4 oz product to 28 oz of water in the gun's reservoir. The levels of gloss, slickness and repulsion of dust and dirt are unmatched by any other soap I've used.
Love chemical guys. I have pretty much all their products except I use Sonax CutMax and SONAX perfect finish as my paint correction and the v34-v38 for headlight restoration
I realized this video is a couple of years old, but do you have or planning an updated 2024/ 2025 review to Chemical Guys 👍 I tried a fewof them, and liked them. Thanks Pan… Awesome videos.
They have fallen out of favour many years ago as many brands have surpassed them. They were purchased by investment groups and they simply don't make good enough products anymore unfortunately, in my opinion.
Great vid Pan. Have to say I use there leather care trio. Very good indeed on tired looking leather. I like the look of some of the others to. Going to check then out now. Can feel a spring time stock filler coming on....
Another great video! Thanks for sharing. I use Chemical Guys products for personal and business use. I did find myself overwhelmed with their wide selection of products. But seems I did a good job with my selections as almost every product you recommended are the ones I'm using :)

Many thanks for another informative and entertaining video. It’s really interesting to read the passionate comments this video generated. Me? I’m just trying to figure out how I became addicted to a car detailing channel!
Pan TheOrganizer - Thanks for the reply Pan! When I have time and the weather isn’t blazing hot in Florida, I enjoy detailing my car and bike - especially the bike. But I recently bought a new BMW, and I think I’m going to make more time to personally take care of it, rather thank simply going to the car wash. I started watching detailing videos to try to determine which products seemed right for my rather low level of expertise. I don’t want five products for my interior and a like number for the exterior. So I’m looking for simple ways to get good results. Love your videos, particularly your candor and enthusiasm. Please keep ‘em coming. I can use all the help I can get!
Congrats on the new BMW Tom! What model and colour did you get? I love BMWs, in fact I bought my brand new 2018 BMW M550i which you can see me fully detail in this video: ruclips.net/video/dsCmJJDP3xo/видео.html
Pan TheOrganizer - Congratulations on your new car. It’s gorgeous! I purchased a 2019 X5 xDrive40i (G05], Anthracite Grey with Tartufo Merino leather. It’s absolutely beautiful. But I now kind of wish I’d looked more closely at the M540i. Maybe next time. Hey, do you have a video that advises on how to maintain a car that has a nano ceramic finish (mine was applied at my request by the BMW dealership)? And do you have a video that advises a guy like me who wants simplify detailing to maybe just two or three products for the interior and a couple of products to care for a ceramic coated paint job? I’ve become a big fan of yours, and greatly appreciate your kind replies.
Congrats on the X5! They look great thise new models. Yes I have a simple maintenance wash tutorial for ceramic coated cars here: ruclips.net/video/yLiePQRMFc8/видео.html And here’s my interior detailing tutorial: ruclips.net/video/X7z1iFoykEM/видео.html
@@johnnyp2155 interior wise i like chemical guys but mainky use meguiars, and now that chemical guys has ceramic interior cleaning i use that for nice matte shine.
A lot of people like to hate CG. I get it... too many products with a heavy emphasis on marketing BS. However, they _do_ actually make some good stuff. I like their "Maxi-suds" grape rush shampoo (mostly for the smell, foams nice too), their "Clean Slate" paint-prep shampoo, their "Microfiber Wash" and their "Nonsense" APC. Really happy with those products but draw the line there because their competition is more often better, imo.
Dear Pan, love your videos as always. Just found that there is a chemical guys store close to my place after watching this video!Would you recommend using the honeydew snowfoam on ceramic coated cars? I’ve read reviews online that says it’s not good to use soap that gives gloss (like this honeydew snowfoam) on ceramic coated vehicles as it will reduce the hydrophobicity of the coating. Is that true? Love your new video on Adam’s mega foam as well, keep up the great work!!!
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 760,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. Since you subscribed, let me also welcome you to the Pan The Organizer family! :) How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you. I just spent like 500 bucks at my local Walmart on CB products, a couple buckets kits one for rinse and the other wash with the dirt traps almost every chemical product they offer (at the store)then other stuff like brushes/off brand but practical, the CB big mouth foam cannon because of your review and an electric pressure washer which was the bulk of the cost. Then the bulk pack of micro fibers and the Milwaukee DA orbital polisher with appropriate pads. I have a Jeep that’s I’d like to try to restore its paint to at least close because beside once in a blue washes the exterior was sorta neglected and want to bring back its black luster it once had when my wife bought it from the stealership. So in the RUclips search bar I put in car detailing tips and stares watching you videos which got me all geeked up and wanted a proof of concept for me in my area. There are a lack of really local retailers and I wanted to see if I can retain that passion for my cars before I work in others for a small fee. I’m curious if the Adams brand is that much better because from what I read and see there’s a lot of hate towards CB but so far I have no complaints. Thank you again and look forward to gaining knowledge into this craft.
Thanks for this thorough breakdown Pan! I've basically been binging most of your content over the past few weeks and I really enjoy your attention to detail. What brands would you consider to be "Professional Grade" when it comes down to it? You've stated before that many of these brands are more for enthusiasts and detailers that are just starting out, but as a professional, what brands take you to the next level? Thanks again!
Professional grade are brands like CarPro, Gyeon, Gtechniq, Kamikaze, Optimum Polymer Technologies, Koch Chemie, Sonax, Fireball, P&S, Nv Car Care, etc. Consumer grade, bix bog store brands include: Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, Chemical Guys, Adam's Polishes, Griot's Garage, Mothers, Armor All, etc.
I tried Chemical Guys Tire Kicker and it didn't last as long as Zaino Z-16 Tire Shine . I tried Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax and it didn't last more than a month . Compare that to Zaino Z-2 Pro , one coat of which has lasted me up to 6 months . I tried CG Headlight Restorer and, while it works, it cannot remove all of the defects from a bad headlight, so you have to wet sand first . A harsh compound such as Meguiar's #4 would probably do the same job since the protection left by the CG product is minimal anyway .
Personally one of the products which i really like from Chemical Guys is the After Wash. And when cleaning leather, the final matte look is better than shiny. :)
Thanks! For the interior dressing, I prefer Silk Shine. For the ultimate interior/exterior dressing, I like CarPro PERL. You can dilute it depending on use.
You could, but there are way better products for exterior black trims, like this one: amzn.to/2UEmXi9 Dilute it 3:1 for use on exterior plastics, 1:1 for use on tires.
Out of the 4 shampoos, when should or would you use the glossworkz shampoo? How do you know you need one over the other? I would choose it because I want the most gloss possible according to the name! Or do you use one of the others first then finish the shampoo process with the GlossWorkz as the last one?
*Citrus Wash and Gloss will strip wax. Their advertisements say that it is not pH balanced and is on the acidic side. That being said, it is still a fantastic soap I have been using for a couple years. I switched to a neutral soap that won't erase my wax so I can keep building layers of protection with each wash, rather than stripping it every time. Again, it is still a great soap and probably the best of their soaps that I have used. It's slicker than any other soap I have used. (*Edit was a grammar mistake)
I have and I can't recommend it. I'm not a fan of CG products in general. Here's a comparison I did between one of the Hydro products against Meguiar's equivalent: ruclips.net/video/A7IMzfTTx28/видео.htmlsi=SchZIN0cgpSNQVit Chemical Guys is more mass market. I'm more into pro grade and prosumer type products.
Oh yes absolutely. TW is better in my opinion. And the majority of the reputable detailing channels also agree. Of course, there are much better products if you are willing to go outside the big box store type products. Watch my awards video to see what the best of the best is: ruclips.net/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/видео.htmlsi=DAEtK4UKR-vowFO5 I also, have my new lineup of products called CLEAN By Pan The Organizer which have been making quite a splash and have sold out a few times since we launched in September. Here's a link to them: tinyurl.com/y2j9mtws
I don’t really use Chemical Guys products anymore as so many brands have blown past them in quality and performance. These are in the entry level consumer grade big box store type products, and in my opinion, in that category, brands like a Meguiar’s, Turtle Wax, Adam’s Polishes do a much better job. But if I get more viewer requests to do an updated overview of CG, I’ll look into it.
Would you recommend using chemical guy products or adams products. I just bought a 2015 used black bmw with black leather interior . It currently has some swirl marks and don’t want to make more
Both are good brands. It's a question of personal taste and availability in your area. Check out my 2017 car detailing products awards video, you might just find more that you like! Here: ruclips.net/video/AnT7vhvgc58/видео.html
I have asked this directly to Chemical Guys, but I want another perspective. If I understood this correctly, when you do a buff and polish job and you want to apply a ceramic it is the last step taken; there’s no need to apply a wax or any other sealants after the ceramic. But Chemical Guys told me that the Hydrocharge and Hydroslick is applied after the V38 polish, then the Wet Mirror Finish, then Jet Seal, then Butter Wet Wax. Why all those steps after Hydroslick if that is suppose to provide the protection?
I wouldn’t recommend the Hydro line really. Those aren’t true ceramic coatings. The HydroSlick barely lasts a month or so in my testing. A true ceramic coating comes in a glass bottle and lasts one plus years. Watch my ceramic coating application tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer so, what about the V Series? Keep in mind that I’m a weekend warrior. And since you don’t recommend the Hydro line, if I did use the V Series, it’s better to use a bottle ceramic? What about sprays?

Pan TheOrganizer. How can I get rid or prevent those marks at the door handle.
Pan thanks for this video. Do you use any Griot's Garage products?
Pan TheOrganizer bro the jetseal will it give great extreme gloss?i wish to buy that
I just did my white truck and it looks great with a nice gloss. I heard it only lasts 3 months though.....it is billed to last longer, so I was a little disappointed.
Can u do 3D products
I love their Citrus Wash & Gloss soap. It has the most suds for a bucket wash. A lot of their soaps are terrible for a bucket. In my opinion, they're really watered down. The Stripper Scent is PHENOMENAL! Probably my all time favorite from any company. Nonsense is fabulous. I even use it full strength to clean my grill. The grease literally wipes away. Great video Pan!
I bought the 16 piece kit for my pressure washer. My truck now have a mirror finish and the wheel clean made it easy to clean my wheels. I highly recommend this product.
As a new detailer I love watching your videos to learn about products and what I should try out. Keep up the work
Awesome! Thank you! How did you discover my channel Nick?
Pan TheOrganizer I started trying to find out which products I should use and came across your channel. You videos are very informative and I was able to learn a lot
Chemical Guys just offers TOO MUCH STUFF, so I just move along. Glad you took the time to review them though. Liked the supple Autogeek plug. Lol
Thanks for watching!
I'm not a CG fanatic but is that not the purpose to have many many products so you can choose and see what works for you. I've tried meguiars compound and does nothing to my car so I try a different polish of them and works well. Yes they do have a shit ton of products that basically might or might not do the same but that's when you have the option to choose what works for you.
Most is because every paint color needs a different product to get the best results.
Lots of CG trolls and no objective reviews. I've only got a few of their products and they work quite well. People need to keep their systems simple, no need to buy all of their products. Many detailers I've noticed only use a couple of products and learn how best to use them. Price is subjective.
I have to agree with everything you've said. I have been doing lots of brand reviews on my channel, as I'm not biased to only one company. I love trying products from as many companies as I can, and build my main arsenal with the ones I prefer. I have noticed that the CG products often get the most hate but rarely backed by concrete evidence. It's like the cool thing to not like CG... There are many good products in their lineup and if you take the time and learn how to use them properly (like any other product) you should be satisfied. We're on the same page on that one! ;)
thaddeusabear Argee with your comment. Did a year test on jet seal.
That's what my father I do. We pretty much use a few of their products and have all worked very well. Next we are going to try AMMO.
No ojective reviews? How about my friend appkying cquartz to his f80 m3 and after washing it over spand of 1 season with CG honey "ph neutral" soap there was pure water sheeting. Zero beading. To test this further iput it on my m4 carbon bits as car has frozen paint so i cant apply it to that. I used their matte paint soap and within 1 season there is zero water beading. So the ph neutral bit is total bullshit. They foam up very nice and clean super super well. But soemtimes too well. Ffs their matte jet seal gets stripped in one wash by their matte car wash soap. There are some good reliable products too like leather cleaner floor mat cleaner, air scents, leather balm and iron remover. If i had someone that sells carpro products near me id pick carpro any day over chemical guys. But again chemical guys is def way better than typical stuff you can buy from canadian tire.
Couldn’t agree more
I love seeing the extreme similarities between these products, Adam’s, and other brands. The way they work and smell are often extremely close. The leather cleaner and conditioner is very, very similar. VRP and Adam’s VRT are exactly the same . Anyone who has ever used Griot’s Speed Shine can attest to the fact that it looks, smells, and performs exactly the same as Adam’s much-lauded detail spray. List goes on and on, I’ve always just found it interesting.
My understanding of the industry is that there are only a handful of actual product manufacturers. Then, major brands just do private labeling of the same product and often simply change the color, odor and some minor tweaks to separate them from their competitors, and then it's marketing from there on.
Wow, what a line up that you reviewed Pan! I actually use many of those products, with great results I might add. There were some I had never heard of, so thanks for the review. Keep up the great work!
What are your favorite CG products Todd?
Pan TheOrganizer I love Black on Black for the engine compartment, I am always getting compliments on how great that looks! I also use GlossWorkz, Heavy Metal Polish, Silk Shine (I actually use this for my tire dressing!), All Clean, and Jet Seal. I can’t wait for our weather to break so I can detail!
Nice lineup!
Pan TheOrganizer thanks Pan!! I always look forward to your videos, no matter what the content! You have a great family here and we support you!
Their products are an odd bunch. Most of them are just re-hashes of the same product (which aren't that good to begin with) but you do find the occasional one that is actually quite good. Blacklight and Jetseal are the only ones that I will ever use. They don't last long but give pretty good results.
On the up side, they do produce really good air sprays, that seems to be the only positive.
Exactly. One has to know which ones to buy.
Jack Dean ive used alot of their stuff with great results. What have u had any issues with so i know to avoid them?
I have to strongly disagree. Iv used best of the best from mother’s to even older companies products. And none of them come close to CG and it seems CG is climbing to the top faster then anyone could have predicted. Only thing I still use other then CG is mother’s mag polish now they do have the best polish for chrome bumpers and wheels.
Read my comment above. Stay away from the Butter Wet Wax as it gave me bubbles that are all over the car and hard enough that they pull fibers out of any cloth you may think you'd like to use, including the soft side of a car cover!!!
Used Hybrid V07 for YEARS, which turned me on to synthetic polymers. But now I'm going to try your reviewed Turtle Wax Ice Seal & Shine after seeing the tests you gave it. Thanks.
Their pink shampoo is awesome and the drying spray they have is just amazing. The silk shine dressing and the citrus degreaser are just awesome as well!
even though there are a ton of CG products and some of them are basically the same, there are still lots I use all the time. Some of my favorites are all clean and silk n shine. Also love their leather products. Each to their own!
CG is the first leather cleaning set I have used. Usually I just get the all n one stuff. Night and day difference. Not only does it totally revive the leather and make it seem more plush and smell good, but the cleaner got rid of a leather discoloration that has been in the back seat of a car I cleaned that has been there for years. Very pleased with the leather care.
Thanks for the review Pan! I use most of their products that you covered, but also learned about new ones 👍🏼
Thanks!
What’s your favorite CG product?
i might have zoned out but i didn't see you mention their banana wax in the spray bottle. man i love this stuff, i use it on my carbon fiber hood and it works so well. i just got the cherry scented detail quick shine spray. this one also works well and helps me maintain a clean car through out the week with all the heavy polling we get in the south.
A selection of products. 👍🏻 i mainly use CG for my detailing. Maxi suds 2 in snow foam and the gloss works auto wash for a maintance wash. The nonsense is great for foot pedals and steeringwheels 👌🏻 All round great products.
I didnt realized that this is from pan the organizer. Im so excited. Im like screaming right now with excitement. I hate cleaning my car, but I had such bad experience at car wash shops. My car got damage and got scratch by car wash machines. I rather just do it myself at least if I damage my car, its my fault. Lol
I have used VRP on my 2007 Trailblazer's cowl, running boards and plastic trim, it's worked so far, I even used it on my wife's 2007 HHR. made those oxidized plastic panels look new. I haven't used it on tires yet.
My husband bought us the Arsenal Car Wash Kit with a few extra goodies and I am super excited! 💗💓💕 i love me a brand with many options
Yes!!!! I’ve been waiting for this for so long. good video, thank you Pan.
You're welcome! :)
I've used the diablo wheel cleaner, silk shine dressing, mr. Pink suds, and blacklight glaze. I like them all. Mostly the blacklight because it brings more depth to reveal the metallic flakes in the color better, makes the surface really slick, and smells good.
lol you can’t revive anything that underneath the clear coat. All you can revive is the clear. So that’s where they fool you.
Thanks for the video. We just had a Chemical Guys store open in my city. Man was it overwhelming to see so many products!! I walked right out.
They do have way too many products in their lineup.
Hi, I’m from Brazil and I love this video.
The best video for Chemical Guys products. Congrats!
Thanks Dib!!
How did you discover my channel?
I know there is a lot of hate towards Chemical Guys products, When I started my detailing business I started with there products. Till this day i use there products I have never had any problems. I love all there products. Thank you Pan for the review of there products. One that I find Essential to keep in stock is Lighting Fast. We live in the desert and carpets tend to be a bit more messy.
Thanks Gilbert! How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer I like to watch detailing videos and reviews and saw you page. Very good work.
The leather conditioner is extremely effective on couches as well just a fyi for anyone wondering (not used it on generic “fake” leather and don’t think it’s a good idea to use anything other then soapy water on fake leather)
After using a few of there products I feel there pretty good and smell amazing but Maguires in my opinion does a better job just a tad bit harder to work with such as buffing and polishing compounds.
Great review Pan, I feel Chemical Guys has gotten a lot of flak over the years. Some justified, but most of it not backed up by any hard evidence whatsoever. In my diverse detailing arsenal I have plenty of CG products that work great and that I don't consider to be overpriced.
It’s common. People will regurgitate what they hear on RUclips/reddit/forums. I understand some if the complaints CG gets like you said, but some stuff people complain about is just petty.
I use silk shine under my hood. Spray it on heavy then I let it set( dwell ) for about 5 mins. Then rinse with very low pressure water
I'll be honest with you i don't have the slides idea. I was serfing you tube about Chimical Guys waxes n foam cannon sprayers n i found your channel n let me say it was very helpful when u were talking about the cain of wax to use in the car. I wash n wax my car the old fashion way know i wash my car the Chimical Guys way. Thank you for those tip . Thumb up for your teaching on the Chimical Guys wax. Have a great day. Take care
Thanks!
If you like waxing, you should watch my favourite sealant/wax combo video: ruclips.net/video/ZtILoTKSXq8/видео.html
I know its an old video, but it gives me some comfort that my Jet Seal I just got isn't a waste. Was excited about machine applying this weekend but saw so many haters on YT :'(
There are way better products now. This is an old video. Here is something that lasts longer and is less expensive: ruclips.net/video/49DtbUBHMpg/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the fast reply! If I had a glaze I wanted to apply would that come before or after this?
I have enjoyed some of these products, though the cost is kinda high. I've started using Turtle Wax ICE and am very satisfied. Thank you for sharing this video.

Thanks! I guess you're Canadian too? :)
So I enjoy chemical guys, because they have so many products. If I need tire shine, I can pick from Water based, oil Based, High shine, Satin, Low shine.
Yup
Thats why they have so many products because different people have different wants and needs. Some like the silk and shine because it leaves a natural shine and some like the G6 hyper coat dressing for high shine finish. The thing is with Chemical guys they have so many products because they have different customers in mind. Me I like my car to shine, sparkle even if I can get it to do that. My husband on the other hand likes a more matt look or natural new car shine. So I have to buy the two different dressings to make each of our cars how we want them to look. So I took some time did some research with each product found the ones that we needed to match what we want as an end result. I actually find I enjoy the selection for different peoples tastes. I have to say thats not a gimmick but it is seeing people have different tastes in their cars looks.
Thank you for your answer.I right now have four black vehicles that’s why am starting out in detailing, and so far I prefer Adams products also,eventually I would like to move to customers cars to make a little extra money.I watch a lot of videos and they’ve been very helpful. Thanks again
Fred
My pleasure!
I ended up picking up the chemical guys sprayable leather to keep my boots cleaned and protected and to try out on my leather phone case just to see how well it works out
I have used an air freshener and the v32-8 compound polish line and their hex logic pads. I can say the air fresheners don't last too long, I really like their compounds and polishes and they work as advertised. I just needed the rest of their pads as I only have a few.
You did a great job of highlighting some of their best products. Silk Shine, VRP, Citrus Wash and Gloss and the Honeydew air fresheners are staples for me. I finally found the EZYME wax at a better sale price and have to say that it's a really good choice for your special car.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for taking time to list both us and Canada links 😁
👍🏻
Montréal you buy chemical Guys in Bumper to Bumper store in Laval but it’s cheaper to buy in online or go to Toronto is cheaper.
Some times you can get a bucket deal of chemical guys at Home Depot but it goes super fast every spring
I also like some CG's stuff and prices are reasonable compared to Adams which I feel are very overpriced. Great job Pan..
Thanks Kurt!
How did you discover my channel?
oddly enough the stuff adam's sells is basically the same product its core. they're both made in the same factory from the same chemical manufacturer.
Many products are often the same, just relabeled, change of smell, color and minor tweaks. The rest is marketing.
Hello Pan ive learned basically everything from your channel, love the content and keep the show going!
Thanks Saul!
So far the few ( and I mean few ) products I have tried from CG seem to be pretty good. The part that sux is that they have so many products that are alike that it confuses one. Do I buy this one, ops no they make this that does that plus this. They just have way to many products. Thanks for the reviews Pan.
Thanks Bob!
They do have a huge lineup of products so I thought I’d share the ones I use with my viewers.
I watch everyone of the videos you create thank you so much!
Thanks! How did you discover my channel?
Ive tried a couple of their products and im not biased as ive got my hands a pretty wide variety of company products starting from Turtle Wax to Armor All to Ammo NYC and CG.
The CG have some decent stuff. That Speed Wipe with the cherry scent has had me pretty happy the times I've used it after a wash and some minor dirt has gotten onto my vehicle. I have a dark red chrysler 200s and this detailer spray works great. Ive used turtle wax black detailer on it too and had some good results from that as well. Other CG products that I've tried are the V07 sealant (its ok. Nothing special) the interior new car smell air freshener. I just ordered the honey dew snow foam along with Mr. Pink to give it a full wash this weekend.
The only AMMO NYC product I've managed to try because Larry's stuff is kinda expensive but worth what ive tried in the hydrate spray. Larry is also someone im always constatly watching along with Pan.
Not brand biased at all but the hate on CG is real apparently for some weird reasons that often from what ive read in these comments arent even about the product itself lol
Speed Wipe is legit amazing for me. I hope Mr. Pink and the Honey Dew Snow Foam work out too.
But the rest of this line up is interesting. A lot of products with some that have different levels of how it works which can be confusing to most buyers. Wish they simplified that a little bit more.
Glad you did a breakdown of their products and it helps me out in deciding what to get next and try out.
Thanks Pan!
Thanks for your feedback Omar!!

Pan TheOrganizer Pan my man, you came up in the suggestions when i was watching Larry's hour and a half beginners video to detailing about a week ago and since then i subbed and watched what you do compared to Larry and kinda fuse you guys together.
Keep up the good work Pan!!!
Awesome! Larry is a great guy! Have you seen my AMMO videos? He made guest appearances in two of them (Ammo Reflex and Ammo FROTHe)!! :)
Pan TheOrganizer yeah! Frothe looks awesome and would help me as I live in the desert and there are some water restrictions in my city. It might be my next investment. Been meaning to let Larry know how much ive loved the hydrate spray so far too. Hopefully hes got time to see it.
But, for you Pan. I gotta hand it to you for being responsive to our comment. Your vids have been helpful!
Great video Pan I like how you get right to the point of the video and keep it on topic!! I'm just looking for a QD spray suggestion for using on top of Jet Seal that won't interfere and allow me to layer the JS down the road while providing gloss and maybe some protection too in between JS applications. I still use KAIO and use it as a QD too where it's water based and I've been happy for a few years with that. Getting back into detailing after five years of nothing I'm just trying new products and enjoying the results. Thanks for the great videos!!
Thanks Darius! Use Bead Maker.
Here’s my review: ruclips.net/video/J7uc4AlarpU/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan I ordered some yesterday actually against by better judgement vs what all is currently in my supply cabinets. Great review on the product keep up the good work!!
Chemical Guys = trying to convince enthusiasts they need 10 different soaps. Nothing but marketing + rebranded generics.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels this way
what is a good mirror and window cleaner, also good plastic and vinyl cleaner?
dubb isopropyl alchohol + distilled water there u go
There are some good soaps tho!
They do have good products but so many that do the same thing

I like their VRP for trim and tires. I have done my inner fender liners too.
I've tried their synthetic instant detailer. I found it worked fine but didn't really add much to my current arsenal which is primarily optimum and opti-coat line products.
Lastly I used the inner-clean. Works as advertised. It smells nice which is a plus. Lately I've been using diluted ONR and haven't noticed a difference. ONR is cheaper to buy and leaves a nice blueberry scent.

@@PanTheOrganizer I am a bit of a detail nut by hobby and found your channel through searching/researching detailing products. One video of yours on tire dressings made me look into VRP after seeing it on the shelf at a local part store.
Thanks for the feedback!
Just because CG has many different soaps, doesnt mean you have to buy them all. It gives you a variety of what you like. The fact you can buy honey dew, than when that bottle is finished, you have such a variety to switch up on. They all are similar but do have different shines and smells. Some foam better than others too. I have alot of products from CG and tested many of the products.
Leather scent , clay luber, citrus gloss and citrus red (which they don’t make anymore )are the only CG products I use . Thanks for the review on the other products .

@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan!! I found you here on youtube around a year or so now. I love car detailing and it is a thing that I really want to get very deep into. I have a humungous passio for cars and for taking good care of. You were the first car detailer that came up on my youtube channel. Portugal is a nice place and I recommend you to visit Madeira if possible as tickets from the main land to the island are so expensive. For an example, my sister is going for xmas from Faro, Algarve to New Jersey, USA for less money than from Faro to Madeira and it is almost 200 euros less. So you can see how ridiculous prices are. Well but going back to the subject...lol. We have swaped messages on youtube a few times already but of course it is almost impossible for you to remember as like you said, you've got over 100k subscribers. My dream is to live in Canada.
Hope we can keep intouch and that I can learn more and more from you.

I use barebones for an undercarriage sealant basically after underwashing vehicles it works very well however I never thought to spray some and spread it with a sponge or cloth it does last for months,an overall well made product
Good tip!
Are used to hate their products with the passion but I mean I was that one trauma that would literally does them until one day I ran out of dish soap to wash my car and I decided to use the citrus wash and boy has my opinion changed their products really work sure their marketing may be a little bit corny and they oversell but trust me you have to try them really really good never going back
Exactly. Their lineup is way too big. But they do have some very good products if you know which ones to get.
Hey pan. Would you recommend using the chemical guys leather cleaner and conditioner on new leather? Need dilution?
On new leather no. Here is what I recommend on new leather: ruclips.net/video/eYFzVPE_I2o/видео.html
Thanks Pan for the good review on CG products. I can personally attest to the great performance of their Glossworkz shampoo. I use it on my black ceramic coated 370Z with a concentration of 1 oz per gallon of water for the contact wash and it does an excellent job. The wash really shines in my foam gun where I use it at a mixing ratio of 4 oz product to 28 oz of water in the gun's reservoir. The levels of gloss, slickness and repulsion of dust and dirt are unmatched by any other soap I've used.
Thanks for sharing Jim!
Good to know Pan uses pretty much the same CG products I use :)
Heheh awesome!
Awesome!!! i rly like Chemical guys!! have many products from them. Great video as always!

I realized this video is a couple of years old, but do you have or planning an updated 2024/ 2025 review to Chemical Guys 👍 I tried a fewof them, and liked them. Thanks Pan… Awesome videos.
They have fallen out of favour many years ago as many brands have surpassed them. They were purchased by investment groups and they simply don't make good enough products anymore unfortunately, in my opinion.
Great vid Pan. Have to say I use there leather care trio. Very good indeed on tired looking leather. I like the look of some of the others to. Going to check then out now. Can feel a spring time stock filler coming on....

Chemical Guys hardwater spot remover & silk shine dressing are their two best products imo
Also that metal polish works AMAZING on taking water spots off windows.

Hehe thanks Tom! Do you not enjoy detailing your car? :)
Pan TheOrganizer - Thanks for the reply Pan! When I have time and the weather isn’t blazing hot in Florida, I enjoy detailing my car and bike - especially the bike. But I recently bought a new BMW, and I think I’m going to make more time to personally take care of it, rather thank simply going to the car wash. I started watching detailing videos to try to determine which products seemed right for my rather low level of expertise. I don’t want five products for my interior and a like number for the exterior. So I’m looking for simple ways to get good results. Love your videos, particularly your candor and enthusiasm. Please keep ‘em coming. I can use all the help I can get!
Congrats on the new BMW Tom! What model and colour did you get?
I love BMWs, in fact I bought my brand new 2018 BMW M550i which you can see me fully detail in this video: ruclips.net/video/dsCmJJDP3xo/видео.html
Pan TheOrganizer - Congratulations on your new car. It’s gorgeous! I purchased a 2019 X5 xDrive40i (G05], Anthracite Grey with Tartufo Merino leather. It’s absolutely beautiful. But I now kind of wish I’d looked more closely at the M540i. Maybe next time. Hey, do you have a video that advises on how to maintain a car that has a nano ceramic finish (mine was applied at my request by the BMW dealership)? And do you have a video that advises a guy like me who wants simplify detailing to maybe just two or three products for the interior and a couple of products to care for a ceramic coated paint job? I’ve become a big fan of yours, and greatly appreciate your kind replies.
Congrats on the X5! They look great thise new models.
Yes I have a simple maintenance wash tutorial for ceramic coated cars here: ruclips.net/video/yLiePQRMFc8/видео.html
And here’s my interior detailing tutorial: ruclips.net/video/X7z1iFoykEM/видео.html
I like their soaps and towels, im still a meguiar fan for interior cleaning wise, exterior is mixed within brands lol
What do you use for interior leather/dash/etc?
@@johnnyp2155 interior wise i like chemical guys but mainky use meguiars, and now that chemical guys has ceramic interior cleaning i use that for nice matte shine.
A lot of people like to hate CG. I get it... too many products with a heavy emphasis on marketing BS. However, they _do_ actually make some good stuff.
I like their "Maxi-suds" grape rush shampoo (mostly for the smell, foams nice too), their "Clean Slate" paint-prep shampoo, their "Microfiber Wash" and their "Nonsense" APC.
Really happy with those products but draw the line there because their competition is more often better, imo.
Yeah they do have some very good products, you just have to know which ones are good. That's one reason I made this video. :)
Can you make a updated video on Chemical guys. Since they came out with new products
Which products are you curious about in their lineup?
Pan TheOrganizer mostly there wheel cleaners, being as they have like 5 different products on the market
I have leather and vinyl seats in my Subaru but what should I use to clean them and protect them?
they have a lot of products that are kind of useless but a lot that are very useful. I absolutely love the VRP shine. I have so many bottles
another great video Pan, can I suggest a video? Could you make a video showing us how to dilute the products?
Michael Morales I agree. It's a little confusing when they just through out numbers lol
Exactly! 👍🏻
G Davis thanks for the info!!
M G yes hahaha!
Dear Pan, love your videos as always. Just found that there is a chemical guys store close to my place after watching this video!Would you recommend using the honeydew snowfoam on ceramic coated cars? I’ve read reviews online that says it’s not good to use soap that gives gloss (like this honeydew snowfoam) on ceramic coated vehicles as it will reduce the hydrophobicity of the coating. Is that true? Love your new video on Adam’s mega foam as well, keep up the great work!!!
Go for Mega Foam. Thank me later lol
@@PanTheOrganizer mega foam
Would you use the sprayable leather alongside the serum or no? Cause the sprayable leather only cleans and conditions but doesn’t protect.
You could. But it does protect a bit as on their own website they say it protects against UV rays.
Great videos Pan!
You should do a review on Shine Supply products.
Thanks Ben!!
Shine Supply is amazing!
I know Chemical Guys get a lot of hate but I have had any problems with any of them.
Great video and I’m a new sub.
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on RUclips as we surpassed 760,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. Since you subscribed, let me also welcome you to the Pan The Organizer family! :)
How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you. I just spent like 500 bucks at my local Walmart on CB products, a couple buckets kits one for rinse and the other wash with the dirt traps almost every chemical product they offer (at the store)then other stuff like brushes/off brand but practical, the CB big mouth foam cannon because of your review and an electric pressure washer which was the bulk of the cost. Then the bulk pack of micro fibers and the Milwaukee DA orbital polisher with appropriate pads.
I have a Jeep that’s I’d like to try to restore its paint to at least close because beside once in a blue washes the exterior was sorta neglected and want to bring back its black luster it once had when my wife bought it from the stealership.
So in the RUclips search bar I put in car detailing tips and stares watching you videos which got me all geeked up and wanted a proof of concept for me in my area. There are a lack of really local retailers and I wanted to see if I can retain that passion for my cars before I work in others for a small fee.
I’m curious if the Adams brand is that much better because from what I read and see there’s a lot of hate towards CB but so far I have no complaints.
Thank you again and look forward to gaining knowledge into this craft.
Thanks for this thorough breakdown Pan! I've basically been binging most of your content over the past few weeks and I really enjoy your attention to detail. What brands would you consider to be "Professional Grade" when it comes down to it? You've stated before that many of these brands are more for enthusiasts and detailers that are just starting out, but as a professional, what brands take you to the next level? Thanks again!
Professional grade are brands like CarPro, Gyeon, Gtechniq, Kamikaze, Optimum Polymer Technologies, Koch Chemie, Sonax, Fireball, P&S, Nv Car Care, etc.
Consumer grade, bix bog store brands include: Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, Chemical Guys, Adam's Polishes, Griot's Garage, Mothers, Armor All, etc.
@@PanTheOrganizer Awesome, thanks Pan!
My pleasure Chris!
I tried Chemical Guys Tire Kicker and it didn't last as long as Zaino Z-16 Tire Shine . I tried Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax and it didn't last more than a month . Compare that to Zaino Z-2 Pro , one coat of which has lasted me up to 6 months .
I tried CG Headlight Restorer and, while it works, it cannot remove all of the defects from a bad headlight, so you have to wet sand first . A harsh compound such as Meguiar's #4 would probably do the same job since the protection left by the CG product is minimal anyway .
Personally one of the products which i really like from Chemical Guys is the After Wash. And when cleaning leather, the final matte look is better than shiny. :)
Yes, it’s a good drying aid indeed.
Enjoyed this. Makes choosing easy. Is VRP good inside as well as great on Tyres Pan????? Looks like the ultimate all in one dressing.
Thanks! For the interior dressing, I prefer Silk Shine.
For the ultimate interior/exterior dressing, I like CarPro PERL. You can dilute it depending on use.
Does vrp is a good product to apply on exterior black trims ?
You could, but there are way better products for exterior black trims, like this one: amzn.to/2UEmXi9
Dilute it 3:1 for use on exterior plastics, 1:1 for use on tires.
Out of the 4 shampoos, when should or would you use the glossworkz shampoo? How do you know you need one over the other? I would choose it because I want the most gloss possible according to the name! Or do you use one of the others first then finish the shampoo process with the GlossWorkz as the last one?
*Citrus Wash and Gloss will strip wax. Their advertisements say that it is not pH balanced and is on the acidic side.
That being said, it is still a fantastic soap I have been using for a couple years. I switched to a neutral soap that won't erase my wax so I can keep building layers of protection with each wash, rather than stripping it every time. Again, it is still a great soap and probably the best of their soaps that I have used. It's slicker than any other soap I have used.
(*Edit was a grammar mistake)
Have you used their hydro line? Absolutely amazing stuff. Please do a review
I have and I can't recommend it. I'm not a fan of CG products in general. Here's a comparison I did between one of the Hydro products against Meguiar's equivalent: ruclips.net/video/A7IMzfTTx28/видео.htmlsi=SchZIN0cgpSNQVit
Chemical Guys is more mass market. I'm more into pro grade and prosumer type products.
@ would you say you would prefer turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic graphene over chemical guys Hydro series
Oh yes absolutely. TW is better in my opinion. And the majority of the reputable detailing channels also agree.
Of course, there are much better products if you are willing to go outside the big box store type products. Watch my awards video to see what the best of the best is: ruclips.net/video/KRv7vKsuliQ/видео.htmlsi=DAEtK4UKR-vowFO5
I also, have my new lineup of products called CLEAN By Pan The Organizer which have been making quite a splash and have sold out a few times since we launched in September. Here's a link to them: tinyurl.com/y2j9mtws

3:50 - Trim Dressing
4:24 - Car Shampoos
Chemical guys interior cleaner is good too.
Charles Dec which of the 15 bro 💀
Pan, can we get an update? This is 6 years ago, would love an update on their products and how you use/apply them. Thanks!
I don’t really use Chemical Guys products anymore as so many brands have blown past them in quality and performance. These are in the entry level consumer grade big box store type products, and in my opinion, in that category, brands like a Meguiar’s, Turtle Wax, Adam’s Polishes do a much better job.
But if I get more viewer requests to do an updated overview of CG, I’ll look into it.
Would you recommend using chemical guy products or adams products. I just bought a 2015 used black bmw with black leather interior . It currently has some swirl marks and don’t want to make more
Both are good brands. It's a question of personal taste and availability in your area.

I have asked this directly to Chemical Guys, but I want another perspective. If I understood this correctly, when you do a buff and polish job and you want to apply a ceramic it is the last step taken; there’s no need to apply a wax or any other sealants after the ceramic. But Chemical Guys told me that the Hydrocharge and Hydroslick is applied after the V38 polish, then the Wet Mirror Finish, then Jet Seal, then Butter Wet Wax. Why all those steps after Hydroslick if that is suppose to provide the protection?
I wouldn’t recommend the Hydro line really. Those aren’t true ceramic coatings. The HydroSlick barely lasts a month or so in my testing.
A true ceramic coating comes in a glass bottle and lasts one plus years. Watch my ceramic coating application tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/sqQYVjxFqK0/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer so, what about the V Series? Keep in mind that I’m a weekend warrior. And since you don’t recommend the Hydro line, if I did use the V Series, it’s better to use a bottle ceramic? What about sprays?
