Expert Notes

Chemical Guys Stripper Suds Shampoo is a 473ml high suds, high gloss maintenance shampoo finished in the brand's distinctive stripper scent. Its pH-balanced formula does not strip wax or sealant coatings and enhances high gloss shine on every paint colour, and it comes in a 473ml bottle. It suits owners who wash regularly and want to keep existing wax or sealant intact while boosting shine, rather than stripping protection back for correction work. It works with a two-bucket wash, a foam gun or a foam cannon, so it pairs well with a dedicated wash mitt, a foam lance and a microfibre drying towel for routine maintenance washing.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Wax and sealant coated panels
  • Cars
  • Vans
  • Motorcycles
  • Two-bucket wash setups
  • Foam cannons

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