Re: Any big Chemical Guys followers out there
I use some of CG products, Hybrid V7, EcoSmart (although switched to ONR), InnerClean and the MF wash. I`m starting to move towards Meguiars as those products get used up, but most of the Meguiars products I want only come in gallon sizes, and being a weekend warrior/living in an apartment, don`t really have the space for those gallons.
Re: Any big Chemical Guys followers out there
I`ve tried some of their products, mostly the soaps, and they`re decent. I do value the different scents, sure they don`t clean as well as say Hyperwash, but I get bored washing with the same soap all of the time, and the different scents help break that up.

When I did, there was just no comparison. The have some good products (mostly soaps and V7 is good QD, EZ Creme Glaze and Blackhole) but that`s about it. Quality-wise, their products fall short especially when you figure in cost.
Black hole is not a cg product. It actually does what it says............

I can see where everyone`s coming from. IMO they`re a step up from OTC or most OTC products. I prefer the look Innerclean leaves vs armorall. And their VRP for tires and trim over any of the OTC. The new car spray lasts far longer than anything I`ve used. Just to name a few comparisons. It seems CG could greatly benefit from not being the super Walmart of detailing products and rather have one great product for each task

This is about where I stand. Their volume of products is absurd. They have a few decent products (v07, pete`s 53, vrp)

I think I managed to talk one guy away from them. He was set on using Jet Seal, until he saw the work I did on his cousin`s car, using FK1000p, and I think I may have challenged him on durability.
edit I got curious to see how much I spent on their Butter Wet Wax, so did a search on my Amazon account, and laughed a little when I realized I had forgotten I had also bought their Diablo Gel wheel and Rim cleaner.
The Butter wax was only used twice, for sampling/testing. Never did a whole car with it. If someone were to pay actual shipping cost, I`d *give* it away.
Re: Any big Chemical Guys followers out there
Jet seal looks good for both days it lasts.....

Re: Any big Chemical Guys followers out there
While I didn`t start with chemical guys, I did fall into the hype of their products, plus it didn`t help that I`m local to their facilities. At the time (must have been like 8 years ago) I really only used meguiars but mostly polishes and OTC products. So I bought some of their products, jetseal, citrus wash and gloss and some other "goodies." I was amazed at the results, but I wanted more. Thats when I found the forums, I believe it was proper auto care and learned about other brands. Blackfire wet diamond was my first purchase and the rest is history. I never looked back. I pretty much gave away all my chemical guys products. Nowadays I use citrus wash and gloss once in a blue moon. I mostly use PBMG products but I`ve slowly been building an arsenal of each brand, and I don`t even do this for a living. I JUST WANT IT ALL!
