Anyone use The chemical guys care care products?

Looking into purchasing some good quality care care products. I have heard good things about them. Want to take care of my 5th gen paint. Any good or bad reviews of the products. What products would you recommend?

I just bought some of their Watermelon air freshener per my brother's recommendation. He also said the Stripper scent is good too - says it smells like cheap perfume and vanilla.

That's all I've got.

I use their Jetseal and Jetseal Matte, V series polishes, and XXX (freebie) & Luminous wax. I like all but the Jetseal Matte, it has a tendency to leave swirl mark residue on my vinyl hood, it is their suggested product for it.

Are they better than any other quality care product? Dunno. Other than Einszett this the only other "premium" product line I have used. They have decent holiday sales so you can get a premium product for a good price.

The Jetseal seems to be a good sealant, pretty quick to apply, and buff off. Which is nice considering how much damn surface area these trucks have. I get about a year out of it before I need to clean and reapply. I have waxed on top of it a couple of times when I haven't had anything better to do.

I'm sure they are good, as there are lots of good brands now. But I'll tell you I've been very happy with every optimum product I've used. Work great and easy to use.

Just curious what you use for exterior vinyl? Have you tried Aerospace 303? I use that on my boat seats and all over the interior of the 4Runner and have always been very pleased with the result.

Hi, it's 3m 1080 matte black for my hood wrap. It is what they said the JS Matte was designed for, matte wraps, just maybe not matte black
@Friggin Idiot but sure I will give it a try

I personally use Adam's Polishes. Their customer service is second to none. Outstanding even. The products are great to boot.

+1 on the Adams products. I've used both Chemical guys and Adams and love the Adams better.

I think their jet seal works really well. I just did a clay mitt wash the other day after about 4 months of summer adventuring and was super surprised how little feedback I was getting on the surface. My truck is also street parked by the beach. I use their wash and a wax from them as well.

Haha I can't believe you guys use this stuff on our trucks. A clean and unscratched 4Runner is an unused 4Runner!

That being said I'm a huge fan of chemical guys and use them exclusively for my car!

Cg

I use CG Jet Seal , XXXtreme carnuba and butter wet wax. A303 for interior.
CG is a good deal when they have the 20% off sales.
I'm sure there are better products out there but they cost more.

I use their Mr Pink and Honeydew washes through a foam cannon with my pressure washer and have been very happy with their products so far. I'm planning to get their Jet Seal as well and try it out.

My wash and rinse buckets have their insignia on them as they are some of the only ones I can find that grit guards will fit in correctly. Never heard anything bad about their stuff.

Product-wise, I'm using Optimum car wash. Sonax PNS sealant and Sonax detailer. Interior cleaned with damp microfiber and protected with Aerospace 303. Glass maintained with Stoner's line.
