Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II Reviews

I've been using this soap for a few years now and always impressed with the amount of suds. Quality product at a fair price

Great item for the price decent lubrications and great smell.

Awesome product especially for the price. Used other more expensive products in the past and this is equally good! Suds great especially in Foam gun!

Suds nicely. Great product.

I've been using this in my foam cannon for a while now. Wish I could post a picture but the foam is super thick. I use scalding hot water in the cannon with a healthy amount of MaxiSuds, foam just pulls dirt and grime off the truck. Bueno.

I really like the sudsing and cleaning power of the Maxi Suds. I have used several of the scents. Love the smell.

Absolutely impressive amount of suds. My new go to soap.

Great product with great results

Not impressed. Got this as a free add on, and now I can see why it is free. Less suds compared to other soaps even with double the recommended amount per the instructions.

Owning a Detailing shop and using lots of different soaps. This product is absolutely amazing and goes a long way for the little you use.

I've used quite a few soaps, and this CG product is appropriate for a regular wash cycle. A respectable amount of suds/foam is generated from the recommended volume on the label. The product also eliminates a majority of the standard, daily-driving contaminates from the paint without much elbow-grease required. It will not remove the typical, stuck-on contaminates that embed into the paint (e.g. iron, tar, etc) unless you maintain your sealant and wax regimen. If not, you'll need another product/method. Given the low cost of the soap for the volume received and the intent of the product, there isn't much criticism here.

BOTTOM LINE: CG created a useful soap here for your routine washing cycle at a decent price-point.

I love this, it is great!

Amazing amount of suds. Used in a foam gun, and it literally coated my car in a thick layer of suds. Smells great, too. Car looked "too shiny," according to my 6 year old.

On the instructions it states the mixture as 20:1 and that may be fine but not for my Mytee Lite. Day one with a test looked great having run it just a few minutes. Day #2 when I really needed it to work perfectly the unit was forcing suds through the edges of the solution tank and recovery tank. You will not find anywhere on their label about mixtures for extractors. I was in a panic and doing an inside detail on a black Jeep. It would now cost me $85.00 per hour to look and fix the issue at a local Mytee distributor. Before I went to deliver this beast I got in touch with Mytee via their website. They gave me advice on how to dry the unit , get a anti foam product. That failed as well. I sent photos to Mytee. Then they have me cleaning and drying the Mytee Lite II but not getting a correct carpet cleaner. Dried the Extractor yesterday and this afternoon trying again. Chemical Guys should either sate that this product is NOT for extractors or provide guidance on what the correct mixture should be. It is not 20:1 which turns out to be 6.4 ounces per gallon, 20:1 6.4 ounces To 128 ounces (One Gallon). Chemical Guys were totally misleading with lack of direction and comments about this on their website.

Maxi-lame... Can't even compare to Meguiar's or Mother's products. Barely makes any suds unless you use a large amount of product. Even then, it's not that great at removing dirt. Only positive is the great scent.

This soap is my favorite Chemical Guy's product. It's super slick and smells great!

This is my go to shampoo. It suds up great. Does a good job at lifting dirt from the paint and provides adaquate lubrication. I use it in the bucket and foam cannon.

This is my second review of this product and I've been using it with every wash for over two years. It has great suds and smells nice. I've moved up to the gallon size since I like it so much! If you haven't tried it yet there is a reason so many enjoy washing their car with this!

I use this in my foam cannon, it has the most suds of anything else I've ever put through it. It sprays a thicker foam, holding to the paint longer, so it's still there when I make my way around the car to it.

I don't know if it's just my bottle.. But this is one of the worst soaps I have even used from chemical Guys. I run out if suds in 2 panels on a car and I'm just left with good smelling pink water. Now chemical Guys Citrus Wash and gloss is the best car soap I have ever used. Just not this stuff.

I bought this and a hose nozzle with a soap dispenser and wow it works great. You only have to add about 1/2 an ounce and it foams very well. Maxi Suds left vehicle clean with a high gloss. Product smells good and as mentioned a little goes a long way. No more store bought car wash for me.

I purchased Maxi Suds II along with the Detailed Image MTM Hydo Foam Lance. Initially, I used the Meguiars NXT car wash (about 3 oz) that was sitting on my shelf with the foam lance and was very disappointed. This is a great soap when used in a bucket method, but it hardly created any suds through the foam lance. However, when I used Maxi Suds II (about 2.5 oz) with the foam lance, this combo provided very good foaming that stayed on the car for a few minutes. The difference in foaming was day and night. Both of these combo's were utilizing a medium-duty electric pressure washer using normal city water.

Maxi Suds II works very well in foam cannon leaving vehicle covered in a thick clinging foam. After allowing to dwell then wiping down with wash mitt and rinsing off, product left vehicle clean with a high gloss. Product smells good and as mentioned a little goes a long way.

Works great as my simple bucket wash soap. Foams up a bit better than Megs Gold Class soap. Otherwise, these two soaps are similar in performance but the CG soap gets the nod for sudsing.

Got this for free! This is my 2nd bottle! I love how it smells. Does a good job cleaning. You really have to wash this stuff off or it leaves a dried residue behind which can be a PIA to get off. But other than that, pretty good.

Tried to use it in a foam cannon for a quick wash, foam is great but doesn't have the ability to cut through the grime like Citrus Wash does. Best use is in a normal wash situation.

For bucket washes, I used Poorboys Concentrated Suds, but when I purchased the foam cannon, I had heard nothing but great reviews of Maxi Suds II. I pulled the trigger and bought it. It is worth the money, for sure. I did two full size trucks with about two capfuls. Even though my water is very hard (geography of the area), the suds were thick, rich, and smooth.

Well named! This is yet another great product from Chemical Guys. I love this wash and found the reviews are true. The suds are great as the name implies. It also has a great smell which is not normally something that matters to me but I found myself coming back to this when I was needing more soap because I like the smell and suds.

I use this in a Gilmour Foam Sprayer. I've used this and also Honeydew Snow Foam. I can't really tell which one makes more foam. They are both great! Maxi-suds makes great foam, feels really slippery and leaves behind a great shine. Other reviewers have mixed Maxi-suds with Honeydew Snow Foam and report good results. Maxi-Suds smelly a bit like wild cherry to me. Maybe my next carwash day will be a fruit salad.

I am always experimenting with car soaps and I wont be looking any further... Absolutely amazing! Just like the name it is sudsy and creates a smooth surface. My daughter and I love the smell as well. Whats got me hooked is the glossy look it gives after dried! No cons on this product, just another great CG product!

Awesome soap that suds like crazy and smells great. It is my preferred soap for prewashing the car with the foam lance and power washer and feels like it leaves a slick barrier in between my paint and the wash mitt.

Very easy to use. Works great with Foam Master II.

Smells great, produces lots and lots of suds, adds shine to the car as you wash it. Another great product from CG!

a little certainly goes a long way... smells great also!

I was skeptical whether Maxi Suds could be better than off-the-shelf car wash. Well I found out quickly the suds are much better and result in much less spotting. I will buy this product again.

Cleans good, smells good, washed my car pretty good, suds up pretty good.... it's good.

This stuff works great. As it's name implies be ready for suds! just under a cap full is all you need. When your soap bucket gets low on suds just spray more water in and poof, more suds!

A fantastic car washing soap. I love it! I buy it by the gallon!

Wow, I never expected such a difference when I switched to Maxi Suds II, but this product really impressed me. This has plenty of suds that last throughout the wash process and carry the dirt right off the car much more easily than other shampoos I have tried. The 128oz option also makes it an economical price for a quality product!

My car looked great even without waxing. The cherry scent sounded dumb but it turned out to be a nice touch..

Filled the canister of my foam sprayer with water as suggested and used about 1 oz of Maxi Suds into that. Along with a Spotless CR system and the foam sprayer in the middle (3) setting there were a lot of suds. Very slippery product. Smells like Amoxicillin antibiotic suspension for kids to me -- not sure yet if that is a good thing or not, but if I want to get that smell out of my nose, I guess I can always take a sniff of the Dodo Juice Lime Lite I bought a few weeks ago :)

Best car foam/shampoo I've ever used. Foams up great. Smells terrific which is a plus since I have a heated garage and can wash inside when the weather is cold. Very mild... lubricates the car great but never leaves spots or strips wax or polishes off. Buy the big bucket if you wash your car regularly!

WOW! I've used many, MANY different types of soaps, with mixed results. Usually ending up in water spots that I have to detail away and rub sort of tough (towards the end of a wax job's cycle especially.) I used this stuff for the first time before waxing my truck for winter. The temp was 62* and it was partially sunny. This stuff worked amazing! VERY few water spots that were removed via my detailer before waxing. I was quite impressed at how well this stuff worked. I will only be buying this soap unless something comes along and beats it. Suds were great!

Great product! I've used this a couple times now on my car and my wife's. I use it together with the Gilmour Foam Master II gun. It's great. Even highly diluted it does a great job cleaning the car and won't strip off the sealant (wax or whatever you use.) Very happy with this product.

I use Chemical Guys Maxi Suds in my foam cannon. It does what the name implies, loads and loads of suds. I recommend adding the water to your cannister first, and then adding the shampoo. Seal it up an mix it into a solution. If you put in the soap and then add the water, you get a cannister full of foam, which won't last long at all in a foam cannon. A good shampoo, but unless I want to play with the foam cannon I prefer the Dodo Juice Born to be Mild because I think it cleans a little better.

Good product. Leaves my paint smooth after a wash and works great with a brush at removing brake dust.

mix this with citrus wash /foam gun, car wash can be so much fun!!
price is good in detailed image and there are no cons, i would buy this again

Love this wash, tried it on multiple vehicles and love the suds. Can't wait to try it in the foam gun!

Used this product the day that I got it, I just wish that I had gotten the 128 oz version because this stuff is so good. It was an easy to use soap just use a couple of ounces in your five gallon bucket and you should be good to go. Bellow are a few pros and cons that I saw.

Pros: Smell, Lubricity, pH Neutral, decent cleaning ability, great for use in a foam cannon

Cons: Price

Blown away by the amount of suds. I have CG citrus gloss which I thought was sudsy, but didn't really like using because of how much it hurt the protection layers. Oh and that smell is to die for, I wish it was edible. Not to mention its so thick and super concentrated that I imagine at my usage levels will last me 2-3 years.

works good, very sudsy

Great product, suds up as expected, and doesn't leave a residue.

I tried this product because it was on sale. I typically use P21S wash. I really liked this product. It did a great job getting my car really clean, smells goods and is definitely sudsy!

Perfect match for the Gilmour Foam Gun. Lots of suds, won't strip wax. This my go-to car shampoo.

So sudsy that I added it after the bucket was half full to try and back it off a touch!

first use this morning. 2oz in my gilmore foam gun. AWESOME FOAM. also foamed in the bucket like crazy. BUY IT!!

Terrific stuff. Lives up to its name in terms of suds, but also offers great lubricity. Works very well in the foam gun as well as the bucket. This was an impulse buy as I had trouble finding my old Duragloss go-to. No regrets, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

I thought claims regarding lubricity were just marketing fodder, but I can honestly say that I can feel the difference (for the better) compared to the retail Meg's bottle I was waiting to deplete. Would def. buy again. Good size/price is a bonus.

Apparently I'm the only one who's not completely happy with this product. I really like most of the CG stuff â€" it can't be beat in terms of bang for your buck. But Maxi Suds produces minimal suds. It's good in terms up slickness, but I prefer the CG CW&G for a high sudsing shampoo.

I love this soap! It works really well in a foam gun and is really slick. I bought the 16oz bottle almost a year ago and still have half a bottle left because a little goes a long way.

Lots of suds make it very fun to wash traditional way.

Lots of suds. Great smell, an added bonus. No problems.

Great Product!!!

Very slick lots of suds feels like my mitt is not touching the surface,and a little goes a long way. Good stuff

Love it - sooooo sudsy. And man, it really smells great!

Great soap. Tons of suds that last through the entire wash. Got two when they were on sale and have been 100% satisfied.

I like it as a maintenance wash. I don't have to worry about it being too concentrated like the citrus washes. It suds up great and is very slick. My only complaint is that it leaves a bit of a film on glass.

What an awesome soap. Great suds and super slick

Besides me trying to get a nice mix ratio and not wasting this extremely concentrated soap; great buy! I use it as a maintenance wash in between waxes for now.

true to its name, the suds just keep coming even toward the end of my wash. think I can use less and get the same results. suds are very thick. not quite as slick as PBW Slick & Suds, but a great value in 128oz. size. would slot this somewhere between Slick & Suds and Gold Class. great product.

Great Product. Very economical and great lather.

This thing has lots of suds! Like others have mentioned, a little goes a long way! It's pretty concentrated! Also creates a very slick surface to wash away the dirt and grime. Leaves a nice shine afterwards too!

Very thick & soapy. Nice lather. Good stuff.

Car has never been cleaner from just washing. I would recommend this product to my worst enemy.

Maxi Suds is very impressive. As name suggests, a little of this soap creates a lot of soap suds that last the duration of the hand wash. I've experienced other quality soaps that lose their suds towards the end of the wash process. Not the case with this product. Highly recommended.
