Chemical Guys Black Light Foaming Car Wash Soap — Black Cherry 1 Gallon, High‑Suds pH‑Balanced Gloss Enhancer

Chemical Guys Black Light Foaming Car Wash Soap is a high‑sudsing, pH‑balanced shampoo formulated to gently clean and boost gloss on black and dark paint finishes while preserving wax and sealants.

Black Light is designed for detailers and car owners who want a shampoo that builds thick, clinging foam, lifts road grime, and enhances depth on dark-colored vehicles without stripping protective coatings. Its slip-rich formula reduces friction during washing, lowering the risk of surface marring. Use it with a traditional two-bucket method, a foam gun, or a foam cannon for maximum suds and safer cleaning.

How does Black Light improve the look of black and dark cars?

The formula contains gloss-enhancing agents that intensify depth and clarity on dark paint, producing a wet, mirror-like finish after rinsing and drying. It does not abrade or remove wax or sealant layers, so the shine you’ve built up stays intact.

• Gloss technology to deepen color appearance
• Clear coat safe — keeps protective coatings in place
• High-sheen finish on black and dark paints

Can I use Black Light with a foam cannon or foam gun?

Yes — Black Light is formulated for foam devices and generates dense, long-lasting suds that cling to surfaces and help soften stuck-on grime. Adjust the air-to-solution ratio in your cannon or gun for thinner or thicker foam according to preference.

• Use 2 oz per foam container, increase for thicker suds
• Clinging foam helps release dirt for safer rinsing
• Compatible with standard foam guns and cannons

What is the safest technique to wash with this shampoo?

For minimal swirl marks, combine the foam or soapy wash with the two-bucket method and a premium microfiber or chenille mitt. Work from the roof down, rinse the mitt in a clean water bucket before returning to the soap bucket, and use a separate bucket for wheels and tires.

• Two-bucket method: 1 oz per 5-gallon soap bucket
• Wash top-to-bottom with a soft microfiber mitt
• Reserve a dedicated bucket for wheels and tires

Will this soap work on all vehicle makes and colors?

Although optimized for black and dark finishes, Black Light is safe for all automotive paint colors and a wide range of vehicle brands, including cars, SUVs, and many motorhome/RV manufacturers. It’s clear coat safe and formulated to be broadly compatible.

• Safe on all modern automotive paints and clear coats
• Suitable for cars, trucks, SUVs, and many RV brands
• pH-balanced to avoid stripping wax or sealants
