Introduction: This is chemical guys newest soap Mr. Pink it was release about a week ago I went down to CG warehouse and picked up a bottle had to put a special request since they are only selling online at the time.

Product Claims:
Superior surface cleanser.
Advanced foaming technology.
Perfect for weekly maintenance washing.
Extra slick for a scratch-free washing experience.
Safe for wax and sealant.
Perfect for 2-bucket wash or foam cannon.
pH neutral for gentle wash.
Premium super polymers suspend dirt.
Rinses clean with no residue.6.
Removes grime, build-up, and dirt.
Works on any color paintwork.

Details:
1.- Packaging: Plastic Bottle with nice black and pink labeling
2.- Directions: Clearly labeled
3.- Viscosity: Very thick
4.- Color: Neon Pink
5.- Scent: Bubble gum/Strawberry (smells delicious)
6.-Price: 16.9 oz. (500ml) =$ 6.95
7. Manufacture: Chemical Guys

I really wanted to compare it to Maxi suds via foam cannon. I had previously been using maxi suds to pre rinse the car before two bucket wash method.

Amount of product used 2oz
Filled cannon with warm water
Pressure washer is a Karcher 1800psi

Conclusion- I was impressed the product. I did notice slightly more foam with mr. pink than maxi suds I did not notice any difference in thickness of the foam. I know it also depends on the PSI of the pressure washer and the dilution you want to use I like using 2oz.

Things that really impress me where
  1. Slickness this soap is very slick
  2. Breaks down dirt and cleans great
  3. Rinses off extremely easy

Overall- Great product will be replacing maxi suds for me
 
Nice review David,

thanks for putting in the time to write this post, appreciate it.

I would buy it when it comes out in gallons, I assume itll be ~$25-30 but hoping it would be $16.95 like maxi suds gallon. The 16oz mr pink and 16oz maxi suds are both $6.95

Thanks for the review.

What is the final ratio in your foam bottle 10 or 15:1 and how much do you use say in 30 seconds (half the bottle)?
 
Thanks for the good review and pics. I use CG Citrus Clear. Use more for stripping, use as directed for safe daily wash. I don't have a cannon so I can't comment on its ability in a foam gun. The Mr. Pink sounds interesting due to the slickness you noted because Clear, although it does a good job cleaning, does not seem very slick to me.
 
I use Citrus Wash & Gloss now for my two bucket washes. I think it is a bit strong (wax does not last as long). Do you think Mr. Pink would be a better choice?

Your welcome. I don't think it would be anymore than $20 for a gallon.

The ratio I used would be 15:1. I think half the bottle is pretty accurate. Half the bottle is enough to cover a a mid size car.

I have no tried CG Citrus clear, but to my observation mr. Pink was slick

I also use CWG for my two bucket wash. I have not seen a difference in my lsp. How much are you using? I use 3/4oz in 4 gallons of water. I will give Mr Pink a try in a two bucket wash method next weekend.

That's part of it. The ratio of cleaner to water is the other part. Hardness of water would be another. The MTM Hydro has the ability to adjust do you get the thickness you want

The more PSI, the easier to make foam??

I think so.

I think the PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) are just as important as the soap itself.

The foam I get using maxisuds and Citrus wash n gloss are just not where I want it to be. My foam is great, but not amazing like I've seen in a few reviews and youtube videos.

I have the MTM hydro but my pressure washer is only 1500 psi and 1.2 gpm.
 
I have some mr pink in the garage right now. I wanted to try it out this weekend but with the "hurricane" coming I'll probably skip it till next weekend.

As far as the factors in foam... PSI, Water Flow, Dilution Ratio, and setting on the cannon are all pretty equal factors.

I'm running an 1800 PSI on a MTM and was wondering why i wasnt getting much foam out of my Meguiars Hyper Wash with the airator turned almost all the way to the left (which i thought was open...) I started playing with it and turns out turning it almost all the way to the right actually yielded the thickest foam for me, very strange.

Very true most of the videos I have seen that have produce thick shaving cream time foam have used a gas pressure washer. My pressure washer is a electric Karcher 1800psi & 1.4GPM
 
I use a 2400 psi 2.1 gpm gas pressure washer and I can never get thick shaving cream foam with less than 2 oz of the soaps that I have tried. I always add around 4 to 5 ounces of product to get foam that can actually dwell on the paint for a couple minutes and not slide right off.

I also found that I get more foam and waste less product if I put the soap in the lance undiluted and turn the flow knob down. Since the soap is so thick and viscous its hard for the water to baffle it as much and being that it is still in its concentrated form, the foam comes out nice and thick.

I will use 3oz of product nextime. I personally think that is too much product to use thats why i always use 2oz
 
Nice review.

CG claims 1:4000 dilution ratio. Then they go on to say, this means you only have to add 1 ounce to a 5 gallons bucket. Huh? That would be 1:640. 1:4000 would be adding 1 ounce to about 30 gallons of water! Why not a 1/2 ounce or less?

I've noticed CG sometimes confuses a "capful" (16oz bottle) and "an ounce" in their descriptions. They will occasionally interchangeably use both. I'm guessing the capful is less than 10mls and an ounce is approximately 30mls. I'm not sure even they know what a correct dilution of the product is. But, their shampoos are still great. I always go with an ounce per 5 gallons.
 
Did you ever have a chance to try it using a bucket wash method? I would love to know the results

No, never did. I ended up going back to maxi suds ll. I really couldn't not tell much difference between the two besides the smell
