Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds II Car Wash Shampoo — 64 oz Cherry, High-Foaming pH-Balanced Formula

Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds II is a high-foaming, pH-balanced car wash shampoo that creates thick, lubricating suds to safely lift dirt while preserving waxes and coatings.

This 64-ounce bottle of Maxi-Suds II is formulated for foam cannons, foam guns, and bucket washes, delivering rich cherry-scented suds that cling to paint and loosen road grime. The gentle, pH-balanced chemistry cleans effectively without stripping wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists and pro detailers. Its concentrated formula stretches across many washes, turning routine cleaning into a safer, more enjoyable process.

How does Maxi-Suds II protect my paint during washing?

Maxi-Suds II produces dense, slippery foam that creates a barrier between dirt and the paint surface, helping prevent scratching from grit and contaminants. Because the formula is pH-balanced and non-stripping, it cleans while preserving existing protective layers like wax and sealants.

• Thick, lubricating suds reduce friction during mitt or brush contact
• Clings to vertical surfaces to break down grime before rinsing
• Safe for clear coats, custom finishes, and ceramics when used as directed
• Formulated to avoid stripping protective layers

Can I use this soap in a foam cannon and in a bucket?

Yes — Maxi-Suds II was designed for multi-method use: dilute for foam cannons and guns or mix in a wash bucket for traditional two-bucket techniques. The concentration is flexible, so you can adjust foam thickness and cleaning strength to match your equipment and dirt level.

• Recommended dilutions for foam cannons and rinse-free methods
• Works equally well with foam guns or pressure-washer attachments
• Mixes properly in a standard wash bucket for mitt washing
• Concentrated 64 oz bottle yields many applications

Will the cherry scent or chemicals harm my vehicle’s coatings?

The cherry fragrance adds a pleasant aroma but does not compromise the cleaning formula’s compatibility with coatings when used per instructions. The formulation is balanced to clean without degrading waxes, sealants, or ceramic layers; always rinse thoroughly and follow dilution guidelines.

• Scented but non-aggressive chemistry for everyday use
• pH-balanced to minimize coating or wax removal
• Safe for routine maintenance of coated vehicles
• Rinse and dry as recommended to preserve finish shine

How do I get the best results from a 64 oz bottle?

To maximize value, tailor the dilution to how dirty the vehicle is and your application method: stronger mixes for heavy grime, lighter for maintenance washes. Use a foam cannon for pre-soak and let suds dwell briefly to break down contaminants, then follow with a two-bucket wash or rinse-only approach depending on soil level.

• Adjust dilution by soil level and equipment type
• Apply with foam cannon, let dwell, then agitate with a mitt if needed
• Rinse thoroughly and dry to avoid water spots
• 64 oz supplies multiple full-size vehicle washes

Who is this for: Maxi-Suds II suits car owners, DIY detailers, and professional detail shops who want a versatile, high-foaming shampoo that safely lifts dirt while protecting existing waxes and coatings. If you use foam cannons or prefer a concentrated, pleasant-smelling wash that’s safe for a variety of finishes, this 64 oz bottle provides reliable performance and value.
