Like many of you, I am on the never ending search for the best or perfect car wash soap. Like most I have many criteria that I am looking for. I want the soap to have great cleaning ability while also being gentle to the LSP. I want good lubricity to help minimize any marring from having too much drag while also being easy to rinse free afterwards. Let’s be honest if the scent is not pleasing we won’t want to use as much either. And price is always a factor when it comes to spending the cash. There are a few other minor factors that go into my thoughts and choices in choosing car wash; but these are the major ones I focus on.
Product Description / Claims: Chemical Guys Mr. Pink shampoo is an ultra-concentrated car wash shampoo that produces mountains of thick suds to make washing your car a fun, enjoyable experience. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink shampoo utilizes premium super polymers that encapsulate dirt particles, trapping them in its thick foam so your paint remains scratch-free after every wash. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink is known for producing one of the most replete lines of car care products, but they’re truly recognized in the detailing world for their vast selection of top-notch car wash shampoos and cleaners. Chemical Guys continues to set the trend that others follow with every new car wash shampoo introduced and Mr. Pink is no exception. Chemical Guys Mr. Not all car wash shampoos are created equal! Chemical Guys Mr. Pink is hyper concentrated at 1 oz. per 5 gallons of water. With a traditional car wash you will only use 3-4 gallons of water in your wash bucket which means one 16 oz. bottle of Chemical Guys Mr. Pink shampoo is enough to wash your car over 20 times!
What’s more, you can wash your car in direct sunlight because Chemical Guys Mr. Pink was developed with the detailer in mind. Its pH balance formula is also wax friendly, meaning it will not affect the durability of your wax or sealant. Not all car wash shampoos are created equal! Mr. Pink is designed with hyper surfactants and super polymers that lift, capture, and lubricate abrasive debris, allowing the surface to be gently wiped to minimize scratching and swirling.
Directions: A dilution of 4000:1 is 1oz per 31.25 gallons of water. I was given a nice 2oz sample of this to try. I wanted to try it in my Foam cannon as well as a 2 bucket wash. I will simply let the video do the rest of the explanation. Final Thought / Summary: As the new kid on the block Chemical Guys Mr. Pink has quite a few competitors to the high foaming car wash market. I have yet to find a Snow foam soap that cleans as well as a regular car wash. When compared to other dedicated Snow Foam soaps Chemical Guys Mr. Pink is very good. It comes in at a good price point and offers decent cleaning. I could see this being for someone that only wants 1 soap to use a foam gun / cannon and a 2BW, as a regular maintenance soap. Depending on whether or not they make a gallon size available & its cost, will be the deciding factor as to whether or not I purchase this.
Pros: Good lubricity, strong suds, pH balanced, wax friendly, versatile in spray or bucket washes. Cons: Availability of larger sizes may influence long-term purchasing decisions. There are repeated user comments praising its performance, including its ability to cling to the finish and its foam quality, though some reviewers note variability in bucket versus foam gun performance.
