Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss Concentrated Car Wash (16 oz)

I purchased this shampoo because I had noticed that my Maxi Suds II wasn’t doing as much lifting and cleaning as I thought it could. Turns out, after watching the soap information video, I wasn’t using a strong enough soap (Maxi II is a little stronger than a maintenance wash, but not for heavy applications). So I purchased the Citrus Wash & Gloss, and what a noticeable difference between the soaps! Now, I’m not a fan of anything with citrus or high acidic levels, but when it comes to cars that I know do not have any wax or sealants on them, I’m completely comfortable with using this product. In the photo(s) shown, I had washed a 2009 (I think) Subaru WRX STi, using the CW&G, and you can see that the car does have a glossy look to it, even though the paint hasn’t been polished since 2009. Also, many-a-bug had coated the front end of this car, and even after a pre-treatment of the Bug-n-Tar remover from CG, the dwelling time with CW&G had helped further remove the bugs and tar. This is a GREAT soap, and I’d recommend purchasing the gallon size as it is far more worth your money (rather than a bottle). The product does separate, so be sure to give ‘er a good shake before use. I’m not going to mark down the rating because of this one issue, but, you NEED a pump to properly measure/pour this product. However, be aware that because the product is so thick, it will stick to the pumping tube itself, so you’ll have a fairly gross pump nozzle and tube. Since purchasing this product, I have been able to get much more difficult contaminants off of vehicles, and with less scrubbing. The strength of this product is beautiful, and although it has the small/odd drawback of dirtying your pump, it’ll give you great results with less effort, and your customers will notice the difference.
