How It Works

Stripper Suds Car Wash Soap cleans and shines with the smell of success. Chemical Guys master chemists distilled that ohh-so-familiar scent you won’t smell anywhere else, and blended it with a premium super-slick high foam car wash soap. The fun fragrance evokes memories made on the brass poles and in the private booths of elegant clubs. Was her name Summer? Candy? Cinnamon? Even if you couldn’t take her home, here’s a keepsake for every car wash! Stripper Suds Soap lifts and lubricates abrasive dirt from paintwork, and gently guides it away with foaming suds before it can scratch. The pH-balanced formula will not spot or stain in direct sunlight, and will not strip wax or sealant off of paintwork. Optical select gloss enhancers restore a deep wet shine to any wax or sealant coat to make any car look freshly polished and waxed. Use Stripper Suds Soap in any two-bucket, foam gun, or foam cannon car wash method for a brilliant scratch-free shine.

Warning: The scent bottled within may stimulate vivid flashbacks, an aroused state of mind, and a feeling of euphoria. This product is known to make people smile, laugh and have fun. It's okay to grow up, but you don't have to forget how to have fun!

Super Slick Wash Shampoo

Swirls and scratches are unsightly scars on paintwork. Improper washing, drying, or other bad touch with too much friction scratches paint and leads to intense swirl marks. Stripper Suds Car Wash Soap lubricates dirt and grime for scratch-free cleaning on any car paintwork. The pH-balanced formula rinses clean without spots or stains, even when washed in direct sunlight. Gentle cleansers remove dirt and grime without stripping any wax or sealant from the vehicle. Wash any color paint, wheels, glass, plastic, and undercarriage parts with Stripper Suds Car Wash Soap. Mix 1-3 ounces of Stripper Suds Soap into a 5 gallon bucket of water for plenty of soapy suds to wash an entire car. Add Stripper Suds Soap to a foam gun or foam cannon to turn any car wash into a thick car wash foam party. Give dirt, grime, and debris the full monty with Chemical Guys Stripper Car Wash Soap.

Fun Memories Of Good Times

Chemical Guys distilled the distinct scent of success and good times into every bottle of Stripper Suds Car Wash Soap. The unique fragrance is reminiscent of a particular place where all the rules and regulations of the day give way to decadence, indulgence, and unchained partying. Relive those blissful moments at every full detail, or Sunday morning car wash: cleanse your soul on the pious morning, then cleanse your car in stimulating suds that wash away the dirt and filth from the week. Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory... An entire summer vacation or defining life moment can come rushing back with the scent of a flower, a whiff of a home-cooked meal, or a single spritz of perfume. What images will a car wash with Stripper Scent conjure up for you? What was her name? Does it even matter? Everybody has fun and ends up with a beautiful shiny clean car whenever they use Chemical Guys Stripper Suds Car Wash Soap.

Safe For Wax And Sealant

Maintaining your vehicle’s protective wax or sealant layer is important. Wax and sealant protect your car from UV rays, water spots, and contamination. Stripper Suds works to maintain your protective wax or sealant layer. The unique washing formula allows dirt, grime, and filth to be washed away while still maintaining your protective layer. Stripper Suds is designed to wash any exterior surface with precision. Simply mix 1-3 ounces of Stripper Suds to 5 gallons of water to create a superior surface cleanser with a generous amount of wash suds. The advanced super polymers glide over your current wax or sealant layer ensuring that your car, truck, motorcycle, or RV stays protected against the elements. Stripper Suds will show you the true definition of clean.

How Smell Affects Perception

Large-scale entertainment and retail institutions pay attention to creature comforts because happy patrons spend more money. Countless stores, malls, restaurants, hotels, and casinos pay attention to how good their business smell. Think about the last time you were in Las Vegas, did you notice a nice smell when you walked into a hotel or club? If so, it probably wasn’t a mistake: these establishments regularly pump pleasant fragrances through ventilation ducts. If you like the way a place smells, there’s a chance that you’ll rate your experience there more positively than you would have otherwise. Why not make the mundane car washing experience more pleasant and memorable? Chemical Guys blends fun fragrances like Stripper Scent to titillate the senses and make the activity more fun and memorable. Start every car wash and full detail off with a happy note with Chemical Guys Stripper Suds Car Wash Soap.

Help Prevent Swirls And Scratches

When you are done washing your car and ready to dry it, use After Wash to not only speed the drying process, but also moisturize your paint. 95% of swirls and scratches come from poor wash and drying habits. The advanced lubricating polymers in After Wash glide any premium microfiber towel over paintwork for a scratch-free shine. After Wash is available in 4 ounce, 16 ounce and gallon sizes

Expert Notes

Chemical Guys Stripper Suds Shampoo is a 473ml high suds, high gloss maintenance shampoo finished in the brand's distinctive stripper scent. The listing states the pH-balanced formula does not strip wax or sealant coatings and that it enhances high gloss shine on every paint colour, and this 473ml size has also been confirmed on an established UK retailer's page for the same product. 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.

The Brand

Chemical Guys

Chemical Guys is a car care brand with its mailing address in Torrance, California, and it describes itself as more than a brand: "a lifestyle with a worldwide following". Its story says the company began by wiping the slate clean and starting fresh, and over the years grew into a huge library of detailing knowledge as well as a product range. That range runs from waxes to hybrid coatings, nano-polishes and ceramic sealants, alongside buffing pads, wash and interior care, air fresheners and odour eliminators.

The Drivers HQ stocks a Chemical Guys range led by machine polishing pads. There are Hex-Logic and Hex-Logic Quantum pads in medium cut, heavy cut and finishing grades, in 4 inch, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch sizes, from the orange Hex-Logic Quantum Cutting Pad to the black Quantum Finishing Pad. Alongside the pads we carry odour and smoke eliminators such as the Stay Fresh Baby Powder Scented Air Freshener, hanging air fresheners, car shampoos, car waxes, wash mitts and pads, and After Wash.

Chemical Guys suits anyone moving from hand polishing to machine polishing, as well as detailers who already use a machine and want pads matched to each stage. The brand designs its Quantum pads for dual action and high-speed rotary polishers, attached by hook and loop. A typical correction runs from a cutting pad with a compound, through a polishing pad with a finer polish, to a finishing pad for a glaze, wax or sealant. Shampoos and wash mitts then cover the regular maintenance wash, with waxes to top up protection between corrections.

Buy Chemical Guys from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery by tracked Royal Mail, or call in at our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. Whether you are replacing a worn polishing pad, building a set of pads for a full correction or adding a new scent to your car, you can combine Chemical Guys products with the rest of your detailing and car care essentials in a single order.

Driven by a Passion for Shine

Chemical Guys puts a passion for shine at the heart of its story. The brand says it is "Driven by adventure, a passion for shine, and a love for the road ahead", and it welcomes anyone who shares that passion to become part of its family. Its story describes the team as passion-filled car enthusiasts who work every day to make the things they love shine their brightest.

Teaching is a large part of that approach. Chemical Guys says it believes "everyone should be able to achieve a show car shine", and alongside professional level products it provides a vast library of detailing how to guides and courses. The brand calls itself a culture of thinkers and makers, and says detailing is a lifestyle it lives day in, day out, not just something it does.

In its own words, Chemical Guys never stops testing and improving, because it believes good is never good enough. It also says detailing should be fun, and that not a day goes by without its team smiling, laughing and enjoying the work. Whether you are washing your car or shopping for a new sealant, the brand wants you to have a smile on your face while you do it.

CHEMICAL GUYS 4″ HEX-LOGIC PAD LIGHT POLISHING PAD WHITE PAD- (4″INCH) - The Drivers HQ

Hex-Logic Pads and Odour Control

Chemical Guys says its Hex-Logic pads use "laser-cut hexagons to evenly spread product across flat or angled surfaces", with honeycomb-like grooves that hold product in the pad for smoother application and reduce friction during use. On the Quantum pads, a Precision Port vent hole in the centre disperses more heat, which the brand says means less wear and tear on both pad and machine. The Drivers HQ stocks both Hex-Logic and Hex-Logic Quantum pads across cutting, polishing and finishing grades.

Each colour is matched to a job. The brand describes the orange Quantum pad as a medium cutting pad that removes light to moderate defects such as swirls, scratches, oxidation and water spots, and the black Quantum Finishing Pad as a no-cut pad for spreading final sealants and wax coatings evenly on freshly polished paint. Our range includes 4 inch, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch pads to suit different machines and backing plates.

For the interior, Chemical Guys says the formula in its odour eliminating sprays uses active enzymes that neutralise the germs and bacteria causing odours, then leaves behind only the fresh scent of the product. We stock the Stay Fresh Baby Powder Scented Air Freshener among a wider selection of odour and smoke eliminators, plus hanging air fresheners, so you can tackle stubborn smells such as smoke and keep the cabin smelling fresh.
