This is a great shampoo at an affordable price! Using a quality shampoo like the Chemical Guys Maxi Suds allows you to wash your vehicle safely and effectively. It will not strip off any protection from a sealant or wax. We recommend you pour 2 gallons of water in your bucket and then add about 2 ounces of shampoo and continue to fill it with water until the suds reach near the top. If you use good pressure from the hose you should have a generous amount of suds and the shampoo and water should be thoroughly mixed in. Now your ready to wash your vehicle with a premium shampoo that ensures a quality wash with every use!
