Someone should go tell CG that, so they could spend more time in making their site better and stop messing around with the models

Obviously you haven't seen the deal of the month page for the past two months. I'd.... nevermind.


OP, I have a similar post in the tips forum of this site and no one could really tell me anything except an email address. They said their recommendation would even be different person to person.
 
While their products might be good, their customer service is bad. Called several times to resolve an order issue and they were very poor in resolving it. I wouldn't recommend ordering direct from them at all. Stick with a middleman like AG.
 
Count me as another guy that doesn't care for the CG website. They do have a handful of fantastic products though!
 
I like CG, their web site is a bit much, but really - ever think about how many polishes Megs has and how they would be confusing for a new guy looking for something. I'm glad AG is carrying them, much faster shipping and prices are about the same. So, are they a mixer that buys their chemicals from another factory? Who cares, they sure as heck aren't the only one out there that may (snicker) be re-labeling their stock.
 
I orderd from CG their RED MICROFIBER TOWEL 24" x16" WITH SILK EDGES (6 Pack) that was on sale for $12.95 (still is). It came right away but they only sent 5 towels.

I emailed to complain that I was missing a towel, never got a reply back.

So I called customer service, the lady said they will send another towel.

I got another package yesterday, they sent me another set of 6 red MF towels.

Thanks CG. They're allright in my book.

I have saw several post which have products from different manufactures broken down into categories like waxes, cleaner waxes, glazes, and the like. Does anyone know where all the Chemical Guys products fit into the different categories? There are so many that appear to be close the same. Just wondering?

They have a ton around. If you ever go to their warehouse, they have more microfibers than you could imagine :xyxthumbs:

As someone who goes to their shop here in Los Angeles, I can attest to the fact it is MicroFiber heaven.

I really like CG Stuff, just got some Jetseal and 5050 wax, so I'm eager to use it. However I love their little red foam applicator pads for wax and such. They are great and cheap!
 
I'm liking backlight, v-7, jet seal 109 and Pete's 53.

I wish Cali wasn't 3,000 miles away it's probably an awesome place.
 
Would you guys recommend their leather cleaner and conditioner?

It looks so easy to apply and wipe off. I am mighty tempted.
 
cg sell to any one and will put your name as you like on there stuff so you can sell it as yours.Thats y they dont put to much info on there stuff.
 
yes long shipping times 2 weeks for me in sw fl thats y ag get 90% of my orders. 1 day shipping means i dont have to stock so much and keep the over head down. helps me so much.
 
Are there any local stores in memphis Tenessee and Sanford Florida which sell Chemical Guys products???

I don't mind the website as much as when I call them for 411. I get 3 different answers from 3 different people every time I call. I never end up ordering from them because I am so confused. I also like how the videos that Greg makes have different directions from the actual product. EX. CG video of EcoSmart says makes 10:1 but the bottle says 8:1. I called them on this and got an answer all the way up to 20:1 from one person. LOL, I use the lowest ratio to be safe. I would like to buy all their products to try but they confuse me and it makes my money go to other name brands that are more clear. I do use a few SMARTWAX products (sister company of theirs) and love them. GET IT TOGETHER CG's.

CG is VERY confusing. Just as a general rule.

For starters, a lot of the videos aren't very good. I guess they are trying to be 'cool', but they are trying a little too hard to be funny and not really saying anything in some videos. They also, despite being a pretty substantial company, can't seem to buy a good mic. Muddy, mono audio makes it hard to understand! (This is slightly improved in some of the newer videos).

That, and they have a bagillion products for everything. There's gotta be a dozen car washes! And the nomenclature doesn't always make a lot of sense. Always these hip, cool names like "Mr Pink", but it doesn't actually tell you what the product does.

Don't get me wrong, I like, own, and use their products. But they are really confusing, as a company, and it has steered me elsewhere at times.

Griot's Garage really has that down better than anyone I think. Know what their car wash is called? Car wash. The spray wax? Spray wax. Give you three guesses as to what they call their quick detailer? Nope, Gotcha, 'spray and shine', but that's as creative as they get!

Their polishes? No it's not V92 or 56k or 9600 baud, it's just 'Machine Polish', 1 through 5.

Chemical Guys seems like they are trying to be the hip/cool company trying to attract young car guys (and gals) into the world of detailing. So, I should be their target market! But, it's not working. Because I AM new into the world of detailing, and weird, completely unrelated product names and sometimes helpful, but sometimes useless (meaning I don't know how helpful the helpful ones really are?) videos, and super confusing product names filling up an already enormous product line, they are a very intimidating brand for a newbie like myself. That, combined with product instructions on the label differing from videos which, sometimes, differ still from instructions on the website! (Maybe if they didn't have SO MANY PRODUCTS, many of which do the same thing, they could keep track?)

Well that's my little mini-rant on CG. :props:

By the way, just realized that pretty much the only products from CG I own are the more down-to-earth named products. LOL. I've got their pad cleaner, clay lube, and a bunch of their hex-logic pads. I have a 'diverse' collection though, with meguiars, DP, Wolfgang, and others on the shelf :xyxthumbs:

Totally true. It took me like a week to figure out the difference between maxisuds, mr pink, and honeydew.... And I can't even remember what it is.
Seems like they always say you "can" dilute their products 50,000,000,000,000,000,000 : 1, but in the videos they don't.

I like the way it's hip to bag CG product names, but DoDo Juice and their naming always gets a free pass.

I'm sorry but at least half this industry depends on marketing and hype, and if CG is playing to it then let's drag down every company that has over-hyped non-relevant names,

I mean trying to sell product, just what are those people thinking!
