Your reviews are awesome. Thanks Josh!
Great video as always. Thanks Josh
I might have to check this out, thanks Josh 👍😁
I am just finishing up a gallon of Maxi Suds, I’ve liked it. I wouldn’t mind trying that new one you mentioned though.
This is what started my love for car car, got it at Walmart for $25 during Christmas years ago. Started branching out to other products and keeping some my favorite basics from that kit mostly the car soap. Really like MrPink soap, love Diablo wheel cleaner after decontamination also both smell really good. I’m not a full time detail technician at a high end detailing and surface concepts shop.
Same here diablo and the pink stuff, good sht
Walmart has a $30 bucket similar to this but this specific bucket combo is only available at Costco
I got started in car care by buying a chemical guys kit so I think this will sell well. I would buy this but I have plenty of chemicals and it's more economical to buy by the gallon for my business.
I absolutely agree! I actually buy most of my products in the 5 gallon cubes to eep the cost per ounce as low as possible!
What chemicals and where do you buy them ? I’m interested in starting a car wash businesses
I like the Diablo as well. Just never buy the premix. You can get 16oz of concentrate for about the same price, maybe a little less. The initial premix that came with the starter bucket I bought barely got me through 2 washes, and I was really trying to conserve the product on my less dirty rear wheels. The concentrate I just finished got me through easily 10. Switched to P&S Brakebuster now.
That Max suds had amazing foam! I didn’t expect it either. I might have to get some of that if it’s still that cheap..lol
It's crazy that I'm just seeing this given that this bucket just popped up at my local Costco
The bucket is also a stool to sit on while doing wheels etc I brought this kit for a co worker for a grab bag for Xmas and he loved it.
Great review and video!
Saw this next to the turtle wax wash and wax. I was excited to see Chemical Guys at Costco, but I already have all the products in there
Just bought a similar bucket kit at Costco for $49.99 in Bakersfield CA. Most items were the same; wash mit, Diablo cleaner, glass cleaner, interior cleaner, Max suds wash grape 64 oz, 1 Terry cloth for cleaning and a 36 × 24 in drying towel, and a 3 pack of cherry air freshers. Not bad for the price, but was a little disappointed it didn't come with disc for filtering wash cloth. Overall I think it was a pretty good buy.
For the Diablo, if you look carefully on the nozzle, it has four sides- two are “off” one is “spray” and one is “jet stream” you may need to turn it 180 degrees to get the fan spray you’re looking for
I recently got a kit and had the same issue with the Diablo bottle. Both sides gave a stream.
@@imaadh me too
Just wanted to know if you have any tips for starting a detailing business at 14 and awesome videos by the way keep it up 👍
Just got a variant of this kit just slight differences. Uniform hyper green mitt, one blue micro fiber cloth, and a smaller honeydew soap. Not really surprise but the cyclone dirt trap almost every stand-off came broken and the lid doesn’t fit or seals on to the bucket. I guess it’ll just work as a seat because the red lid won’t stay on.
As a professional detailer we both know that 95% of vehicles we are detailing are modern paint. The expensive foam cannons ,multiple pads ,chemicals ...Not needed.Now if you want to try and sell these items for profit ,understood. Same applies for DA/Orbitals A great detail gets a better detail from a Bauer DA ,compared to a good detailer with a flex150
Present brother 💪🏼
I agree 100%..I have chemical guys down the street from me in Gardena and I still go to 3D..the rebrand there crap 10 times . Your a bigger man than I am because I am saying they products are crap, plus expensive.
Same kit at Walmart by my house for 39.99. I might pick it up tomorrow
the total interior is surprisingly amazing for nav screens
I'm a fan of chemical guys products I also use their bucket for storage car wash products in one bucket polishes, compound in another just helps with me to organize and garage clutter.
Nice!
Prob one of the best uses for the bucket
Can you do a video review what is the best rim & wheel cleaner brushes?
Just saw this kit in Costco the other day! I've never hand washed my car before so I'm a bit nervous to get started. Thanks for the video, I may need to watch a few beginner guides from you. I agree that the bundle could def be a bit cheaper BUT they do it for you and it sounds like they are good quality in general. So, buying it from Costco will save you some time looking around and piecing things together.
Time is money!
pamtheorganizer is a youtuber who videos his ways of hand washing multiple cars. Check him out probably one of the best and by far the most followers on RUclips category of car detailing.
@@wavyyoko2622 thanks for the reco!
@@wavyyoko2622 He is one of the worse people out there. Gets paid to talk about products and was caught doing it. Hes a joke.
Chemical Guys is one of the worse companies out there. Coming from someone who details as a living. Dont waste your money on this shit.
I looked at that today at a Canadian Tire (obviously in Canada with Canadian pricing) and it was $99.99
Believe it or not, the Chemical Guys Cyclone grit reducer is one of the BEST (and most effective) there is. Even over the famed Dirt Lock. Diablo get's bashed a lot but I also like it quite a bit, especially for well maintained rims which is all I ever have anyway because I would never let my rims get trashed. Works well and smells great, again, on well maintained wheels. Get the "concentrate" form and just dilute it as you wish. It's probably not going to tackle the heavy caked on dirt without multiple applications. Total interior is also a good maintenance product. Just mist onto the microfiber cloth and wipe down the interior. Leaves a fresh clean scent and no residue or sheen. Totally OEM look which I love. For the money and availability at Wally world and other larger retailers, you can't go wrong with that one. I've also been using their Banana Spray Wax as a quick wax (Not in this particular kit but available at Wally world) to spruce up the paint before I go out somewhere in my sports car. Works great in that application. Durability, no, it's mainly for the ease of use and a quick spruce up and does add a great "pop" to the paint quickly. The smell is one of the best there is in a detailing product. Smells like Banana laffy taffy. I think you hit the nail on the head here.....this kit is a great kit for most people who want to just maintain their vehicle at home. Of course people watching your channel are probably detailing enthusiasts who may or may not have an interest in this particular kit or probably already have everything they need. BUT.....for 95% of the world who just wants to maintain their vehicle....this looks like a pretty solid option for a decent price and would give most people everything they would want to maintain their daily drivers and keep everything neatly packed away and organized in a garage or wherever they choose to store the bucket.
The reason a thin chemical will foam more is because it’s far easier for the foam cannon to insert gas (O2) into a less viscous liquid than it is into a more viscous liquid. The vacuum injection system that a foam cannon uses for the thinner chemical will not work on a thicker chemical, where you would actually need a positive pressure system to mix O2 into the thicker stuff to create the foam needed.
Hope that makes sense
What's the polisher and holder to the left of the Maxshine holders?
Thanks for a great overview of this bucket!
IS NOT A BAD DEAL FOR THE PRICE. I MIGHT CHECK IT OUT. I LIKE IT. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. TAKE CARE HAVE A NICE DAY
Thanks Josh!
You bet!
they also sell this at walmart saw it yesterday
This is the kit i used to start my business 3 years ago
You should do a review of the turtle wax soap Costco has
I saw the same bucket at Walmart for 30 bucks and it came with more and better stuff
Where’s the link you mentioned to your preferred wheel brush?
Great Video
Cant wait to use my mjjc foam cannon I purchased from you last week . I suggest anyone in the market looking for a foam cannon buy one from this man! Thanks for all the advice and knowledge you give us
Thanks Oscar!
Website says is sold out, would you have more anytime soon?
Walmart has a chemical guys kit similar to that for $40.
can I use this wheel cleaner on a 24x14 chrome wheel without damaging the finish ?
I started out with Chemical Guys. Back then, they sometimes gave out free bottles of product when they first started out. I still use "Mr. Pink" their soap. I don't know why some people bash their products.
Ha i remember that!
Agree...I have used many Chemical Guys products over the years. I don't recall being disappointed in any of them.
I use Mr. Pink as well and love it
griots and Adams> chem guys
Cause they are garbage products. People that suggest them just think its cool to use it. No detailer touches their shit.
Honestly the bucket and lid,grid are worth 35 bucks flat up and they are SOLID beautiful I love the transparency [yes I'm chemical guys biast prob bought well over 1k in product] fabulous products thou that work perfect for everyday consumer no hassle ! Also I love how chemical guys has almost every single on RUclips why videos of how to use and when to use. Diablo wheel cleaner is my go to that's worth 20 bucks everyday, awesome value !
Where can I get those wall polisher mounts?
Same problem with Diablo spray that I have.
Do we toss the micro fiber towel, or wash them and reuse? Up to how many times?
I am in North NJ and my costco doesn't have this at the location or online. Anyone know if this is limited to West Coast only or FL or anywhere else but Northeast?
That’s how I feel about Chemical guys also, feel like half their product are just the same but different color and smell lol… Won’t blame them too much since it probably sells good that way.
Not sure when the video was made but Costco by me doesn't have it was the video made recently
thats high price, my walmart has chemical guys bucket kit,preety much same with 1 microfiber instead of 3, mr pink sud 16oz, different interior cleaner for $19 , needed a simple bucket, still use it
How should I wash the microfiber towels n mitt after use?
What's your recommended Pressure Washer?
What pressure washer do you use?
Where can I get the bottle rack you have in the background? Thanks btw cool video 👍

What do u use for tire dressing ?
what costco did you find this bucket deal? i went to 2 diff costco in wa state and not found this yet
I like watching your channel. Should do a giveaway, would be cool
When you get the bottle of Diablo like that its best to dilute it further I did 1:1 and is got good consistency, plus you double the product.
Good point, the only negative to that is that wheel cleaner already isnt very aggressive so if you dilute it, that will weaken it even more. No problem if youre agitating, but there are cleaners out there that breakdown the dirt and brake dust much more so you dont have to agitate so much
Absolutely no way anyone should consider the bucket and lid to be $20.... Come on, people! You can buy a bucket and lid anywhere for $4-5 at most. I get them "free" when I buy pool chemicals... On a better note, I'm glad to hear the wheel/tire cleaner is good. I can't stand scented products and CG is widely known for their cheap smelling interior products, so I avoid them. Overall, for $55, I think this is a decent buy because you get enough stuff in one shot to clean your vehicles with decent products.
Interior cleaner(blue) works great on navigation screen and VRP for my favorite products from the chemical guys. Josh the MJJC foam cannon do you know the shipping cost I’ve been finding out when places orders shipping cost was $25 and higher. Great channel keep the videos coming!!!!
What area were you looking to ship to? It’s usually about 10-15.
Connecticut
An honest question. Are there people who only need to spray on and hose off a wheel cleaner without the use of a brush? I am guessing it is for people who barely drive their cars? I have always had to use a wheel brush or wash mitt to clean them.
I got that same bucket at Walmart for 25 bucks. Oh no I got the same bucket but mine came with less stuff. Grit guard, lid, bottle of Mr pink, wheel cleaner, interior cleaner and a wash mit. I thought it was a great deal for 25 bucks.
Walmart had those for years now
I just rechecked it they are a couple different things in a bucket but it's basically the same thing far as I can tell
Thanks for the review, I tend not to get anything from chemical guys, cause their line is so many Unnecessary products IMO
I really like the Lucas oil interior cleaner protectant works amazing and smells like bazooka bubble gum
I didn't even know Lucus oil made cleaning products. That sounds kinda odd to me.
@@mkygod I thought the same thing but it works great and about $7
I love Lucas slick mist
how much did it cost to get your water deionized?
Gangsta as always, yo where could I get some of those bottle containers you got
You said you
Linked your favorite wheel brush… but it’s not there! What is it!!! Lol
I’ve seen the chemical guys themselves dilute the Diablo wheel cleaner…
Hey bro I had a guy washing my car for 25 bucks plus tip. I moved away and everyone here wants 80 or 90 a wash I just wrapped my car. My question is can you recommend a good foam cannon and car wash kit combo to do at home I have a model y tesla something to clean the seats also 🙏🏻 please
Same bucket @ Walmart for 39.95
I’ve tried a few of there items and I don’t like. You said it best. There products are for light maintenance of an already clean vehicle. I need heavy duty. So like you I hand pick different brands of products that be tried that do the job well. May cost more but the end results pay for themselves. I am looking for new buckets. But I don’t want one with a label on it. The fact that they are clear is awesome. But I don’t want the c-guys label. 😜
The amount of money chemical guys make on the Consumer level you would think they would use some of that money to formulate a professional line from reputable blending companies. TW and mega can cover both sides you would think CG could as well. Their VRP Diluted 1:1 has worked well as a spray on tire dressing for off road lugged side walls which tear up foam applicators. Megs hyper dressing and KC Motorplast are also dressings I use on plastic and trim depending on the part.
Can i use it by hand if i don’t have a gun?
Diablo is one of the only chemical guys products that i thought was a complete miss barely cleans wheels even with heavy scrubbing. Their tyre kicker tyre shine tho dope as fuck.
Granted you can clearly see through the marketing after awhile, CG do get beginners interested in detailing before they probably even heard of retailers like the rag company or autogeek. Like all brands, they have some hits and misses in their line. The consistent negatives about CG products is that they are made to be consumer friendly and safe, which usually means you can find a similar product that will work better/quicker for less cost per use (I think Diablo wheel cleaner is about as aggressive as P&S Brake Buster, but you can get a gallon of brake buster for the price of a couple pints of Diablo). They also tend to mimic any other brand's popular products, which rubs me the wrong way, as it often borders on being deceitful/confusing to the unsuspecting consumer (eg their version of a grit guard only fits their proprietary sized buckets). Lastly, I really don't like the sprayers that come with CG products, they are especially cheap, break all the time, and its nearly impossible to remove them from the bottle. This is a convenient purchase for the person who likes to wash their car in the driveway during the warm weather, probably not very useful to any enthusiasts or professionals.
The Diablo wheel cleaner doesn't spray nice for me either. Might get the gel instead. Or just p&s brake buster
What happened to glove box product review? Are you still gonna do it
I just checked Costco website and can’t find this kit, is it special to your location only?
I'm going to buy one of those! Oh wait I don't have a car 😅
Hell I paid almost $30 a piece for my Adams 3.5 gal buckets with all the same stuff on it..lol
Funny I just returned this.. my wife got it for me.. kinda expensive for a bucket and saop..
380 GSM on the Microfiber towels
Great job, great video
A detail spray with a little protection would have topped off the kit nicely.
I agree!
What is the wheel cleaner you use in your business? I don’t see it listed in the description (sorry if I missed it there).
I use this as a safer option: Works really well
amzn.to/3qCv9Ni
I also use even more aggressive Malco Fast Shot. Works amazing, but harder to come by and it smells terrible
Pretty sure the issue is the consistency of the Diablo. I poured mine into a different spray bottle and it would only stream whether I had it on stream or spray.
you’re supposed to dilute it
@@talibann95660 The gel yes, it says in the instructions to dilute. The one sold in the spray bottle is ready to use, no instructions to dilute.
$54.99??? My local Walmart had 2 on the shelf about a month ago. Used the price checking feature on their app and came up for $24.99...
Mine too. What a coincidence. I don't think the price was the same, but they always have a few CG wash buckets.
Yea Ive seen them there too. Not sure what included in those ones, but im assuming its very similar. Next time i see it ill grab one and check them out
The Walmart one is simpler. It only have The Bucket, lid, dirt trap, 16oz Mr Pink, 16oz Diabo wheel gel, silk shine 160z and their green chenille wash mitt
@@season387 yup that’s exactly right would be nice if they threw in some towels in that one the towels hold up wel l
Yeah they have half the value of the Costco bucket one
*Bought this at My Local Costco of course I work there but When I saw this I bought it and left the bucket in the Trunk*
Oh yeah for my fellow detailers Walmart has their pastel color 5 gallon buckets in stock right now for 297 I ran back and grab me three other ones the other day I need to go back and get more because my colors are yellow and black with my business or black and grey so check them out if you get a chance
Thanks, ill try to pick one up and compare it
I bought 2 5 gallon buckets from there for $1.69 each.
I think that the bottle that did not work correctly might have been the one you dropped.
My question coming into this video is how does the grit guard fit in the bucket. It seems to have a wider base than your standard 5 gallon buckets. So is the grit guard loose on the bottom, or does it fit in snug?
N9t supposed to go all the way to the bottom, got to pit it in the pal at a angle than push it down both 3/4 way down
@@atruceforbruce5388 almost every advertisement shows various grit guards sitting at the very bottom of a bucket. Theh all fit different with various buckets. But thats the reason most of the come standoffs or legs, so they can sit at the bottom of the bucket. Which is why I asked my question of how does the grit guards fit this particular bucket.
Walmart carry’s one also for around 25 bucks but 16oz soap of mr.pink
“question though”
Favorite foam cannon
I’m thinking of 3 1.mtm pf22 2.griots boss 3.mjjc pro
What’s the best out of these 3 I’ve watched your videos cause I like all 3 of them
Cheap/mid price ($30max) ones work great almost all the time. It depends on the pressure washer
They all get similar foam production (which is much more than any of the others). My favorite is the MJJC. I love them so much i import them and sell them on my site. The MTM and Griots go between $80-100 normally. The Mjjc is $70-80 depending on where you buy it.
I saw that today when i was there.. i support adams polish, to each their own tho..
Adams is amazing
I've never understood why it's a big deal that they so many skus. No one is forcing people to buy them, just get what you want and be done with it, IMO
Can you do a video on how to clean suede?, specifically suede seats.
Love this video. Wanted to know for your $55 kit, is it safe for all cars that are ceramic coated and rims that are powder coated black?
Unrelated to this video but, can you give us that use 3000 psi washers good foam cannons to use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I use sho shine to ad luster to the final detail. And it shines like a diamond....
I’ve never tried their chemicals because like you, I use professional grade products. The kit would be a cool giveaway for our customers. Thanks for the video!!
What kind of soap do you use to wash cars?
@@pullingthestrings5233 we use a few different types. We private label our own soap now, but also use soaps from Entire Car Protection and also Gliptone.
It doesnt really make sense saying you havent used chemical guys products because they arent "professional" grade. Alot of professionals use chemical guys =/
@@olivernash1751 what pro would use an overpriced product made for retail to the general public? But hey… what do we know. All of our products are professional grade, not sold to the public, and are significantly cheaper. I’m not saying that the Chemical Guy’s products are bad, they are just too expensive. A 32oz bottle of our best APC costs around $0.65 to fill up at cost.
@@LavaGRAutoDetailing you do realise that most brands that are sold to the public make alternatively priced products for "professional" use. Autoglym meguires chemical guys mothers gyeon fireball basicall all of them do. Theres practically no difference just a label change and they come in 5-20 litre portions. =/
Diablo bottle sucks, used it like 3 or 4 times and the sprayer stopped working. And the top part was hard to take off literally had to slam it on the floor to open it
