Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss

If I diluted this to the LSP removing mix, could I use it in a spray bottle as a replacement for p21s TAW? Would it function similarly

It would, kinda. CW&G isn't as strong as TAW. CW&G also has rinse aids in it, similar to what's in Ivory Liquid dishwashing liquid. It helps the water sheet off the surface to prevent spotting. It takes a fair bit of rinsing to get rid of the rinsing agent. So where ever you're gonna use CW&G as a TAW substitute, you'll need to be ready to rinse it like crazy.
 
sadly, this is the only product from CG that I thought was decent and worth the money.



I'm still very bothered by the fact that I have 2 gallons of this stuff and the mixture of the chemicals making up the product is completely different. It was as if the product wasn't mixed very well when it was made and during the pouring process. I haven't opened the 2nd gallon yet but I can only assume that they are not going to work 100% alike when the chemical compositions are different.



I think if you follow this forum long enough, you will realize how most of CG's product are hyped only to rarely get mentioned again and that's because the quality of the product (or lack thereof) speaks for itself. It's not like I've tried less-than-satisfactory products from other manufacturers, but it seems like product after product that I try of CG's are huge disappointments.



Add to that some of the shady crap they've pulled off in the past such as stealing people's logos for their products, knowingly shorting customers of products labeled as 1 gal that weren't truly a gal, the hit or miss with customer service, acquiring a domain name similar to a competitor's and pointing it back to their website (they took the s out of detailersparadise.com), and the list goes on. I just think there are better companies in this industry with better products and better business ethics for me to give my money to.



That's just my $.02

Totally agree. CW&G is the only CG product I use now. I've also noticed a big difference in the appearance of two different gallons of CW&G. They both seem to work the same, though.
 
I recently tried CG CWG for the first time in my Gilmour Foamaster II gun with high hopes of getting better foam than Meg's GC. I have to say there isn't much of a difference. Maybe a foam cannon is required to really see a difference? I should also mention that my version does not have the variable mix control, but I tend to put in the same amount of product for each use.

Honestly a foam gun doesn't show the differences between soaps well at all, especially one without mix control. Foam cannons produce so much foam it's easy to tell the differences. I tried out some CW&G (1oz) with Megs NXT (2oz) and 29oz of water and it produced very good suds and cleaned very well. I plan on trying a DG 901 mix with CW&G down the road but I think CW&G is great for a good wash.

Shipping is just as much there



Both CG/DI are $30+ with shipping. Not a big deal, still getting a great deal on the car wash.

evenflow have you found anything?

There's absolutely no place around here that carries the stuff.



I ordered some from CG, and some CCS pads, and Creme Glaze to make shipping worth it.
 
I just saw on another forum that they make a citrus wash without the gloss additive. Has anyone used this? If it worked anything like P21s SAW, a gallon would be a killer buy.

cool

do you remember the shipping cost?

For the Citrus Wash (gal), 2 CCS pads, and the Creme Glaze it came to $38.85. Then shipping was 13.62. Grand total was $52.47



You sent me a bunch of detailing stuff once right?? I can get you a sample of CWG if you'd like.

have you used 901?

Yea I got a tiny bit of 901 left. I absolutely love the stuff. I find myself using it more than my PoorBoys, and NXT. It suds up a ton, and I LOVE using it with my foam gun.



How did you like CWG??
