Hello folks.

I use the following from CHEMICAL GUYS:

SUPER SUDS II CITRUS:

Works great. Lots of suds. No residue or film is left. Soft on waxes and let's face it, smells great!!! Gets stubborn bugs, tar and other stubborn road debris off my wife's white vehicle.

INNERCLEAN QUICK DETAILER:

Good if you want a factory Matte finish. I personally got tired of the greasy feeling and dust attracting interior retailers. This stuff leaves no residue, grease or shine. Cleans coffee, cigarette ashes and stains off seatbelt adjusters and door trims. Cleans grease and whatever else you have stuck to you interior. Smells of pineapple and it's not over bearing. The only issues is if you don't get it all and leave some behind it can leave a film or white residue. So make sure you wipe it all and sort of buff. Only draw back to this stuff. 100% will not feel greasy

EXTREME SLICK SYN DETAILER:

This stuff is weird compared to the usual quick detailers. It's none greasy and doesn't leave anything behind that's visible. It goes on and off easy. Really easy. However, you can't spray a large area at a time (hood). It's seems to dry quick and evaporate. It does what it's meant to do which is pick up dust and good for water spots etc... Personally I only use these things after a clean. I hate the idea of using these with dust on the surface of the paint. That's just me.

GRIME REAPER STRONGER THAN ACID:

This stuff is truly intense. Use with caution and don't go crazy with it. Follow the dilution of 1 parts cleaner 5 parts water. I use this for engine bay, wheels and underbody. If it's made strong you'll actually see it eat at your driveway!!!! So be careful. If you have microfibres cloths with stains and grease this stuff is great for that. Soak em in a bucket of this stuff (diluted) and cleans cloths!!!! Gloves also recommended when using this stuff. Some wiping is necessary when using in wheels and engine bay. Nothing abrasive just a cloth to help it along. It's not gonna clean your wheels for you. Just help you.

SCENTS (liquid spray):

Good for a quick scent in the vehicle. Don't spray on anything but fabrics. If leather seats spray carpets. Leaves residue. Doesn't last long but good for showing off vehicle or showing the wife a new clean car! Aside from that stick to little trees.


That's all I have from them but plan on using there line of products. So far all there products have acted and performed as the state.

There products are clearly, fully and easily described. You know what to expect before buying which to me is very important. I don't like surprises.

Also, for those who like tutorials and how-to's they have lots of YouTube videos showing there products in use, how to use them and typically have videos for showing the performance of there products.

meh, the only thing i really use and care for by them are their washes...
 
I, too, mainly use their washes. I do use V7 but everything else of theirs I've tried I really haven't been impressed by. Any and all interior/tire dressings, Blacklight, or any of their polishes.

Hey Zexel! Care to elaborate? I was getting ready to order more from them. So some more info on the polishes and tire dressings would be great! :).

products I use and like from CG:

Citrus wash and gloss
All-clean+ Actually I love this APC
Innerclean Great smell!! Matte OEM finsih
New look trim gel Good on tires
Vintage series metal polish A pleasure to use
Signature series wheel cleaner, this is my bulk cleaner for wheel that don't need sonax/iron-x

Those are the product I like, I tried products that I didn't like that much including

Bare bones-smell to strong, messy application
Factory paint sealant- didn't last long at all
Butter wet wax- didn't spread well
 
I have a friend that worked in their warehouse and he told me about the Project J97 and Pure Concours 50/50.....I was pretty much in a shock about it
 
what shocked you about it?

x2Feed back please


He worked for the company for about a year and a half. I asked him what is the difference about those two products in which he said that both of them have the same formula and is basically the same thing. The difference is that the Project J97 has a bit more of carnuba wax that 50/50. He told me not to spend the money on the Project J97 in which your only paying for the packaging. Yes that's right, the container that it comes with is what makes that item expensive since it is made of some form of "special" material. Bottom line: they are both the same thing, stick with the Concours 50/50 since its way cheaper than Project J97 and as well give you the same results!

Silk Shine is my favorite interior dressing with 303 a close second. V7 is a great detail spray, I don't know that I'd go as far as to call it a "sealant" I do however like Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray better but the V7 by the gallon is a superior value $$$ and they are so close in results I'd have to give the edge to V7. Pete's 53 is still imho the best carnauba wax for the money on the market today.

It's my brothers I maintain if for him......I am asking for a 69 Chevelle SS
 
Although I haven't tried waxes and polishes from CG, I like many of their cleaning products and use them in a regular basis.

Reason: High dilution rates, and works as advertised.

Heavy Duty Orange Degreaser: diluting it from 1:6 through 1:40 makes this a very powerful and versatile degreaser.

Bug Tar Wash: Great for pre-soak / rinse, makes removal of embedded bugs and dirty a breeze, easing wash afterwards. Not so effective on tar indeed (for that I may use dedicated tar remover).

All Clean+ Citrus: 1:10 / 1:20 are the general dilution rates I may use. Works totally as advertised, great product.

NonSense APC: Smells absolutely like nothing, my favorite interior cleaner (paired with Sonax Interior Cleaner). 1:10 / 1:20, cleans easy virtually any surface.

Diablo Gel: After degreasing and brushing wheels, I may use the gel to leave a streak / spot-free and very clean surface. It clings to surface and make the cleaning of face of wheels a pleasure, and effortless. My favorite tool for using it is a brush (~'paint brush').

Extreme Leather Cleaner: I suspect this product is the same as NonSense, since it smells like nothing and have wonderful cleaning power. However, dilution on this one is recommended at 1:6, which makes it a bit less concentrated than NonSense. Cleans nasty leather seats almost effortlessly, and may work on variable surfaces like light color plastics.

Leather Conditioner (brown color): Great scent and effect, non-slip can even be used on steering wheels.

New Car Scent / Leather Scent: A mix of both products + water (secret formula hahah) is my go to car scent. What I like most about those products is beyond being a scent, they have bactericide properties and may get rid of odors inside of vehicle. Durability is not the strong side of those products, however, they may remove odd odors permanently.

New Car high Shine Dressing: Impressed me the fact it leaves a beautiful shine, dry to the touch, without being so glossy. It's not matte as well, for my taste, it's just right. Looks very professional.

Wonder Wash soap: The name says it all, it's wonderful wash media. Ordered recently to test and after that I'm holding myself not to waste the whole bottle because I only want to use it from now on. Coconut Smell is addicting (at least to me).

Mr. Pink: Great wash media.

Citrus Wash Gloss Soap: Strong soap, high dilution rate and versatile.

That said, I can conclude I rely on many CG products, like and use them often. I barely feel the need to substitute the CG that are working for me.

One simple example, when I need more cleaning on wheels, I may step up to IronX paste... that, after using my degreaser / diablo gel standard that will work on majority of cases.

Another reason I've sticked with those products (apart they work great) is that I never messed any surface using them, so I believe they are pretty safe for our needs.

Hope that helps.

Best Wishes.
