Expert Notes

Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds II Super Suds Shampoo is a 500ml, fresh cherry scented maintenance shampoo built around thick foaming suds. Chemical Guys states the formula cleans and enhances paintwork with extreme foaming bubbles for a scratch-free shine without stripping wax or sealant, and it is formulated with water softeners to reduce streaking and water spots. It suits owners who wash regularly and want to keep existing wax or sealant intact rather than strip it for fresh protection. It works with a two-bucket wash or a foam cannon, so it pairs well with a dedicated wash mitt, a foam lance and a microfibre drying towel. Best used as a routine maintenance wash rather than a decontamination stage.

Painted bodywork
Wax and sealant coated panels
Cars

Motorcycles

Caution: Do not let the shampoo dry on the paintwork before rinsing, and keep wash mitts used with this shampoo away from wheel cleaning tools.
