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

Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds II is a high-foaming, pH-balanced car wash shampoo in a cherry scent formulated for foam cannons, foam guns, and bucket washing to lift dirt safely while preserving waxes and sealants.

Maxi-Suds II (CWS_101_64SW) delivers thick, lubricating suds that cling to paintwork and help loosen road grime, brake dust, and airborne contaminants for an easier, safer rinse. The concentrated 64 fl oz bottle provides multiple washes and works across cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, and custom finishes. Its formulation is designed to be gentle on protection layers—waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings—so you clean without stripping shine.

How does Maxi-Suds II perform with a foam cannon?

When mixed at recommended ratios, Maxi-Suds II generates dense foam that coats the vehicle and holds dirt in suspension for a safer rinse-off. The suds cling to vertical surfaces and work under grime to reduce the need for aggressive scrubbing, lowering the chance of swirl marks.

• Produces thick, long-lasting foam with most foam cannons and pressure washers.
• Clings to vertical panels for extended dwell time and improved soil lifting.
• Helps minimize mechanical agitation required during washing.

Will this soap strip waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings?

Maxi-Suds II is pH-balanced and formulated to clean without removing protective layers when used as directed. It gently lifts contaminants while preserving existing protection, maintaining gloss and hydrophobic properties after rinsing.

• pH-balanced formulation avoids harsh alkaline stripping of coatings.
• Safe for regular maintenance washes on sealed or coated vehicles.
• Maintains finish appearance when diluted and rinsed properly.

How should I dilute and apply it for the best results?

Mix ratios vary by application: use lower dilution in foam cannons for richer suds and higher dilution for bucket washing. Apply foam evenly, allow brief dwell for the suds to encapsulate dirt, then rinse before towel drying or proceeding to drying steps.

• Foam cannon: follow your cannon’s recommended chemical-to-water ratio—typically stronger than bucket mixes.
• Bucket wash: dilute per label instructions; use two-bucket method for best scratch reduction.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber drying towel to avoid water spots.

What surfaces and finishes are safe with this shampoo?

Maxi-Suds II is safe for a wide range of exterior finishes, including clear coat, single-stage paint, matte finishes when using appropriate techniques, chrome, plastic trim, and glass. Always test in an inconspicuous area for specialty coatings or non-standard finishes.

• Safe for all common automotive paint colors and clear coats.
• Suitable for motorcycles, RVs, and boats with compatible finishes.
• Works on glass and trim when rinsed thoroughly; avoid prolonged dwell on matte surfaces.

Who is this for: Maxi-Suds II is aimed at automotive enthusiasts, detailers, and DIYers who want a pleasant, effective washing experience with strong foam performance and protection-friendly cleaning. If you use a foam cannon, foam gun, or prefer a high-quality bucket shampoo that preserves waxes and coatings while delivering a cherry scent, this product fits routine maintenance and professional detailing alike.
