Citrus Wash & Gloss will strip wax at high concentrations.

Citrus Wash is a weekly maintenance shampoo.

From the CG website:

Citrus Wash Clear is the perfect weekly maintenance shampoo that cuts through dirt and grime with natural citrus cleaning power so your car’s natural beauty and glossy wax coat can shine through! Natural Citrus Cleaning Power for the Perfect Weekly Wash

Yes, this is what I use. It came in the starter kit/car wash bucket, I think they intend it to be a regular shampoo.

Can yall recommend a good carpet and seat shampoo? Something that helps with light staining

NJerzeeSS · 10-20-2019, 04:59 PM

I usually use Tuff Stuff foam cleaner

blackgloves · 10-21-2019, 11:46 AM

Anyone else care to chime in on carpet and upholstery cleaners?

DaveC113 · 10-21-2019, 12:12 PM

Sonax has worked well for my faux suede wheel and shifter.

I got it for half price on Woot.

I just ordered a gallon of CG citrus cleaner via Amazon, it's $26 and dilutes 10:1 so should last... gonna try that for everything including a general household cleaner. But, I'm sure CG makes a specific shampoo for every type of upholstery in existence too.

I use it along with a wash/ wax soap base and clean the car maybe once or twice a month and never have to really scrub or do much, it wicks water pretty impressively also. I was really impressed with it. I came from the detailer at work always giving me nano wax from the back and when he quit I had to search and find products of my own, I used their carnauba wax dry rub with a polishing cloth and wasn't impressed, but decided to give the brand another shot after watching youtube reviews on this product. I usually find it cheapest @ Walmart.

White terry towels, no dye no fragrance dish soap in a bucket with hot water. You can clean anything with that combo, cars included. It leaves no trace, which is not something I can say for most specialty detail products.

It's been a while. I used to wax the 89 Caprice with Turtle Wax or Simoniz using an orbital polisher.

i have been following and using chemical guys for about 3 years before i realized their products are just fancy looking but the quality of their product is mediocre at best. i did however recently started using P&S Bead maker after washes and boy does it make the car shine and the beads it produces makes the car easy to clean. i have no waxes, glazes or even ceramic coating on the car. its just clay bar, wash and dry then Bead maker.

This just goes to show that different products perform better in different environments. P & S Beadmaker has gotten pretty bad reviews from online detailers.

NeverDie · 10-22-2019, 09:43 AM

I don't think so, I haven't seen a lot of bad reviews of it at all.

Sure, it isn't durable and that's been proven... but it is pretty much universally praised for gloss and slickness. Use as a QD and don't expect it to protect, it's great.
