Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II Foaming Car Wash, Cherry Scent 1 Gal — pH-Balanced High-Foaming Cleaner

Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II Cherry is a concentrated, pH-balanced foaming car wash that lifts and suspends dirt to deliver a slick, scratch-minimizing clean while leaving a pleasant cherry scent.

This one-gallon formula combines high-foaming surfactants and lubricating polymers to loosen road grime and guide contaminants off paint without stripping waxes, sealants, or glazes. Designed for use with a traditional two-bucket wash, microfiber mitts, or with a foam gun/cannon, Maxi Suds II creates thick, lasting suds that make cleaning faster, safer, and more enjoyable.

How do I use Maxi Suds II Cherry to avoid scratches and swirl marks?

Start high and work down, keeping the panel you're cleaning wet and rinsing your mitt frequently to avoid reintroducing grit. The formula’s lubricants and foaming action help float dirt away from the surface so the microfiber mitt glides instead of drags.

• Add 1 oz to a 5-gallon wash bucket for mitt/bucket washing; use a separate rinse bucket and a third bucket for wheels.
• For foam guns/cannons, mix 2 oz in a 32 oz solution bottle or adjust for thicker foam as needed.
• Rinse mitt in the clean water bucket before returning to the soap bucket to minimize contamination.

Will Maxi Suds II Cherry remove my wax or sealant?

No—this wash is pH-balanced and formulated to be gentle on protection layers while still removing dirt and grime. It will clean surfaces without stripping typical wax, glaze, or sealant applications when used as directed.

• Safe for vehicles finished with waxes, synthetic sealants, or ceramic coatings when rinsed properly.
• Formulated with water softeners to reduce spotting and streaking after drying.
• Gentle enough for all paint colors and clear coats while delivering strong cleaning power.

How do I get the most foam from a foam cannon or foam gun?

The product is highly concentrated, so adjusting the product-to-water ratio and the air/solution settings on your cannon will change foam thickness. Start with the recommended mix, then increase product slightly for a richer snow-foam blanket on heavily soiled vehicles.

• Fill the foam bottle with warm water, add 2 oz of Maxi Suds II for a standard foam level.
• Tweak the air/solution ratio on the cannon to fine-tune foam density and cling time.
• For severe grime, allow foam to dwell briefly before gentle agitation and rinse.

Can I use Maxi Suds II Cherry on every vehicle type and in sunlight?

Yes. Its water-softening agents and balanced formula let you wash outdoors—even in direct sun—without excessive spotting when you rinse and dry correctly. It’s safe on passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, and most RV and coach finishes.

• Works on all vehicle colors and most automotive surface materials.
• Recommended by pros and hobbyists for both home and show-car use.
• Compatible with a long list of car and RV manufacturers when directions are followed.
