What impresses me most about this soap is its ability to generate thick, abundant foam. This foam adheres to the car's surface, loosening embedded dirt and dust for a more effective clean. Additionally, its concentrated formula means that only a small amount is required for outstanding results, making it an economical and efficient choice.
Another highlight is its compatibility with different washing methods. I can use it with a bucket and sponge, or with a high-pressure foam system, and always achieve consistent and satisfying results. Furthermore, its gentle, non-abrasive formulation ensures it won't damage the paint or existing wax or sealant layers.
I also love the fresh, pleasant scent it leaves in my car after each wash. It's a small detail that adds a touch of freshness and cleanliness to my vehicle.
In summary, the Chemical Guys CWS_301_16 car wash soap has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and quality. If you're looking for a car wash soap that delivers exceptional results and long-term protection, I would definitely recommend this product.
One of the standout features of this product is its citrus-based formula. The citrus extracts in this soap help to break down dirt, grime, and road residues effectively. This provides a thorough and deep clean, leaving your car looking shiny and rejuvenated.
Additionally, the foaming action of this soap creates a thick and luxurious lather that clings to your vehicle's surface. This allows the soap to effectively loosen and remove dirt without damaging the paintwork. Many users have reported that this foaming action provides excellent coverage and helps to reduce the chance of swirl marks.
Furthermore, the Citrus Wash & Gloss Foaming Car Wash Soap is pH-balanced and gentle on the car's paint and wax. It helps to maintain the integrity of your vehicle's exterior, ensuring a long-lasting finish.
Overall, customers have found the Chemical Guys CWS_301_16 Citrus Wash & Gloss Foaming Car Wash Soap to be an exceptional choice for maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of their vehicles. Its foaming formula, citrus-based ingredients, and gentle nature make it a highly recommended product for car enthusiasts.
I'm not the best at keeping up with washing my car and a few months will usually go by between washes... which means a few months worth of junk builds up on the car. However, this soap cuts through it easily, and combined with a decent microfiber mitt, the dirt and grime come off without too much work. The soap also rinses off easily. Just use a microfiber towel to wipe off the remaining beaded water so you don't get water spots. Once a year I do a thorough cleaning with a clay bar and apply sealant (Jet Seal by Chemical Guys work amazingly great), and with the intermittent wash using this soap, my car returns to near showroom sparkling in minutes.
As a nice bonus, the soap smells lemony-fresh. Not that you're going to go sniff your car afterwards, but it's a nice pleasant scent while you're actively washing... and lets you forget that you are plunging your hand in a bucket of chemicals that magically take off the dirt without stripping off the paint sealer.
The soap will separate while it sits on your shelf. No big deal, just a quick couple shakes to mix it up and you're back in business.
You only need 1 ounce for 5 gallons. I wish they had a cup to pour it out from and which was marked 1 ounce. I think I used too much.
Overall, it does clean cars very well. The only downside is that the stuff is like the consistency of honey and it's difficult to stop it pouring out once started. I ended up with way more in the bucket than needed. It would have been nice if they had offered a hand pump for the top instead of just a pour cap.
Also, it doesn't mix very well initially and you have to really agitate it to get suds. I suggest pouring it in the bucket before filling the bucket to allow water spray to agitate it rather than pouring it in when the bucket is half full (as I normally do).
It's better than the stuff at your local big box or grocery store for sure. 4 1/2 stars.
Top reviews from other countries
The soap's foaming action creates a thick lather that easily removes dirt and grime from the car's surface, leaving it looking shiny and clean. The soap is also very easy to use. Simply mix it with water and apply it to the car's surface using either a wash mitt or sponge. It rinses off easily without leaving any residue behind.
I use both methods, wash mitt and foam gun, and am extremely impressed with the results. It brightens the colour and gives a glossy finish. One of the things I love about this soap is its citrus scent, which leaves the car smelling fresh and clean.
The Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss Foaming Car Wash Soap is pH-balanced, meaning it is gentle on the car's paint and does not strip away any protective wax or sealant. Additionally, it is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a great choice for those who are conscious about their carbon footprint.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss Foaming Car Wash Soap to anyone looking for a high-quality car wash soap that is both effective and easy to use. It is a great value for the price and will leave your car looking and smelling great.
I use via the 2 bucket method which offers the best protection to avoid any wash mitt scratching/marring. The product smells great and used at the correction dilution offers you a very silky wash mitt for easy gliding on paintwork. Chemical guys are known for there quality items and this product is no different.
If you are looking for a high quality, affordable wash and gloss then look no further. This product will not disappoint.
