Anybody use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe on a car that’s got PPF and ceramic coating?

james1138 · 04-01-2023, 12:34 PM

I am looking for an easy product that will allow me to clean my car (without a bucket or a hose) and this was recommended to me. Anybody have any experience using this on a car that’s got ceramic coating and PPF? My paint color is black metallic sapphire.

Thanks!

I've used it in the past. It was a bit streaky. I like ONR for a waterless wash/ touch up wipe down.

ONR is a very popular choice.
P&S has a couple of good choices.
I've also heard good things about CarPro ech02

I have not used the speed wipe, but I have used the hydro speed, from their ceramic line and have really good results. I also use their hydro charge+ every few months. I have been using their swift wipe waterless car was and i like that. Recently tried out their hydro glide ceramic waterless carwash. Used it the 1st time today actually not quite sure if I like it more.

I live near a "Detail Garage" store that sells only chemicals guys products they have 20% off on their cars and coffee days, so I pick up things.

I really like their galactic black tire shine and total extract tire cleaner.

Word of caution, some of the stuff they sell at walmart, is not the same concentration.

Thanks, that’s all great advice. I live somewhat close to one of their stores too. I was hoping to walk out of there just buying speed wipe but I left speeding $100 on car detailing stuff.

It’s honestly impressive that CG comes top of mind for so many. Their marketing is a case study on its own.

IDK about marketing, I just stumbles across their product in walmart one day, was curious what else they made and decided to give some of their products a whirl.

i love chemical guys soaps. reasonably priced and lots of suds.

i've used some of their other products and honestly don't see them as any better than other off the shelf autozone stuff. cool packaging and great youtube videos showing them in action... nothing mind blowing with their performance though. Speed wipe just looks like a typical quick detailer to me.

any kind of no rinse spray on a black car is still gonna leave you

with swirls IMO.

Try ONR at 256:1 ratio in a bucket or a pump sprayer.
