Product Review: Chemical Guys Mr. Pink


Introduction:
Like many of you, I am on the never ending search for the best or perfect car wash soap. Like most I have many criteria that I am looking for. I want the soap to have great cleaning ability while also being gentle to the LSP. I want good lubricity to help minimize any marring from having too much drag while also being easy to rinse free afterwards. Let’s be honest if the scent is not pleasing we won’t want to use as much either. And price is always a factor when it comes to spending the cash. There are a few other minor factors that go into my thoughts and choices in choosing car wash; but these are the major ones I focus on.
​



Product Description / Claims:
Chemical Guys Mr. Pink shampoo is an ultra-concentrated car wash shampoo that produces mountains of thick suds to make washing your car a fun, enjoyable experience. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink shampoo utilizes premium super polymers that encapsulate dirt particles, trapping them in its thick foam so your paint remains scratch-free after every wash. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink will create a foam party when used with our Foam Cannon HP or Foamaster Foam Gun.
Chemical Guys is known for producing one of the most replete lines of car care products, but they’re truly recognized in the detailing world for their vast selection of top-notch car wash shampoos and cleaners. Chemical Guys continues to set the trend that others follow with every new car wash shampoo introduced and Mr. Pink is no exception. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink Shampoo turns something that’s often considered boring and makes it fun by creating a foam party!
Not all car wash shampoos are created equal! Chemical Guys Mr. Pink is hyper concentrated at 1 oz. per 5 gallons of water. With a traditional car wash you will only use 3-4 gallons of water in your wash bucket which means one 16 oz. bottle of Chemical Guys Mr. Pink shampoo is enough to wash your car over 20 times! What’s more, you can wash your car in direct sunlight because Chemical Guys Mr. Pink was developed with the detailer in mind. Its pH balance formula is also wax friendly, meaning it will not affect the durability of your wax or sealant. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink will thoroughly clean every surface on your vehicle while imparting a high-gloss shine.

Product Details:
Packaging: N/A (I am working from a sample)
Directions: N/A (I am working from a sample)
Color: Pink
Viscosity: Thicker Liquid (Not a gel but not watery)
Scent: Candy / Strawberry
Pricing: $8.99 @ 16oz
Price per wash: Assuming 5 gallons of wash solution
- 1oz per wash = 16 washes. $8.99 / 16 = $.562 per wash
​



Directions:
1. Dilution is 4000:1 (What???)
2. Mix 1oz per 5 gallons of water
3. Wash vehicle
4. Rinse thoroughly
These directions seem a little contradictory to me. A dilution of 4000:1 is 1oz per 31.25 gallons of water. So for a 5 gallon wash you would really need .16oz of soap.
​



Testing:
I was given a nice 2oz sample of this to try. I wanted to try it in my Foam cannon as well as a 2 bucket wash. I will simply let the video do the rest of the explanation.

Pros:
1. Decent Cleaning ability
2. Easily rinses off
3. Suds last the whole wash
​



Cons:
1. Over Hyped Sales pitch.
2. No Gallons as of yet
​



Questions:
1. Will there be a gallon size available?
​



Final Thought / Summary:
As the new kid on the block Chemical Guys Mr. Pink has quite a few competitors to the high foaming car wash market. I have yet to find a Snow foam soap that cleans as well as a regular car wash. When compared to other dedicated Snow Foam soaps Chemical Guys Mr. Pink is very good. It comes in at a good price point and offers decent cleaning. I could see this being for someone that only wants 1 soap to use a foam gun / cannon and a 2BW, as a regular maintenance soap. Depending on whether or not they make a gallon size available & its cost, will be the deciding factor as to whether or not I purchase this.

Awesome review Troy. My results and findings were identical to yours. I really like this soap
 
Great video Troy. If you don't mind me asking, what is the 1500psi model pressure washer you own?
 
Great, thanks for the information.
 
Mr.Pink is average in a buckets. It does not matter if you mix 1 ounce to 5 gallons of water or 5 ounces to 5 gallons of water. The soap has no slickness or lubricity it just foams

Thanks for that info. I only had 1oz to play with in my bucket wash so I thought maybe I was missing something. I guess it does make sense thought that it is made more to foam then to clean.
 
I just tried this out with a regular foam gun and impressed with the soap. It held onto slippery paint, cleaned well, left NO residue, and really was concentrated. All in all it would be a soap I could recommend and the pricing wont break the bank !
 
Nicely done Troy!! Your videos keep getting better and better.

I have found Mr Pink in gallons for under $12, so that and the fact I like it make it a winner for me.

I disagree. I find it to be very lubricous. Perhaps different water types have to do with the different findings.
 
Hey Troy,

I've never used Mr. Pink but I really like what I see. Foaming seems to be very nice and it also seems to cling to the finish instead of running off. It's cleaning ability appears to be first rate and your review has convinced me to give this product a try. :props:

  • Information packed video
  • Clear and concise review
  • Great product
  • Awesome summary & conclusions

I'm wondering how this compares to Citrus Wash & Gloss?
