Chemical Guys products

Anyone used or familiar with Chemical Guys appearance products?

Local Ollie's is clearancing out the stuff. I'd like to know others' experience with it.

My son uses their products an likes them. I bought a foam cannon from them to wash my wife's car and it is awesome. I’m a fan.

Used their spray wax. It's as good as Mother's or Meguiar's or Surf City.

I bought a sample set of their polishing/cutting compounds V32/34/36/38 on Amazon. I liked the compounds so much I bought full-sized bottles from their website. Can't wait for the spring so I can detail the 71 and get her ready for car shows.

I just picked up a kit for cleaning the convertible top for the 1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible I just bought. I''ll report back once I see/get some results.

Me too. The detailer in our shop recommended them.

Since everyone has a good opinion of the products, next time I'm in town I'll see what Ollie's has available.

Several years ago I bought a bottle of Lowrider brand polish at Ollie's. Figured if it could please the Lowrider crowd it ought to be good. It was and I liked it a lot. Easy on, easy off and laid down one of the best shines I'd ever seen.

Then I let one of my young car friends borrow it, and time it went thru him and his friends the bottle came home empty. I never found any more of it either.🙄

That's when I went back to Duragloss and stopped loaning stuff out!😠

I do it the old fashioned way with pure carnauba paste wax, it is 100% pure carnauba wax by Harly. It is 40 dollars a can but it's the best wax I've ever used with amazing deep gloss shine all the time!

I use a lot of thier stuff and have been happy. My guess is since they are opening some retail stores would be the reason. Might not be selling to them any more ???

Ollie's specializes in overstocks, closeouts and other liquidations. Sometimes something as simple as a change in packaging will cause a company to sell inventory to Ollie's in an effort to move it and cut losses. That may be what happened here.

I never did get there ☺️ and a new flyer came out yesterday. DK if the CB products are still there or not.
