We have virtually tried every type of car wash available. Nevertheless, I've never compared two to determine if there's a discernible difference in cleaning ability or washing quality. However, my strategy was to carry out precisely that with Meguiar's and Chemical Guys, two stalwarts of the industry.

The majority of soaps for car washes appear to be same. They foam up and remove tar, dust, filth, debris, and other caked-on debris that comes with regular driving. I compared these two companies because they both make strong claims about how much better they are than the competition. I asked my neighbor Evan, who uses Meguiar's Gold Class religiously, for assistance. For years, this has been his go-to car wash shampoo. Given that Chemical Guys Mr. Pink enjoys a comparable fanbase to Meguiar's, we were both thrilled about the firm.

Which Is More Effective at Cleaning?

We used Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner on half of the automobile and Chemical Guys Mr. Pink Super Suds Shampoo on the other half in order to conduct a head-to-head comparison. The most noticeable distinction is that you get more value for your money with the Meguiar's Gold Class. While the prices of both are comparable, you receive significantly more Gold Class than Mr. Pink. The Chemical Guys bottle is just 16 ounces, but the Meguiar's vehicle wash comes in a 64-ounce bottle. That's four times the goods for about the same price—Meguiars costs $11.49, while Mr. Pink costs $6.77.

Despite using the same mix of soap to water for both, we found that Meguiar's Gold Class foamed up far less than the Chemical Guys Mr. Pink. In addition, compared to the Meguiar's shampoo, the Mr. Pink foam seemed to stick to the car better and linger longer with less runoff. In addition, Chemical Guys seemed slipperier and went on more easily than Meguiar's. As a result, it seemed as though the wash mitt was pulling the dirt and particles off the car's surface with little to no scrubbing. In that case, the paint will benefit greatly.

Conversely, Meguiar's Gold Class required less water to rinse off the car and was easier to wash off than Mr. Pink. Depending on where in the nation you live, this can save you and the environment a significant amount of water.

The aroma was possibly the most noticeable distinction between the two goods. Meguiar's Gold Class smelled exactly like any other car detergent, but cleaning the Mr. Pink was an actual stomach-churning sensation because of its delightful strawberry bubble gum scent. It smells so amazing!

Evan's automobile was meticulously and thoroughly cleaned by both car wash products. Both products worked well and fast to remove dust, filth, dried bird droppings, and whatever other debris was interfering with the regular showroom-quality clean; however, Mr. Pink went on a little easier and foamed up more.

Likewise, during the washing process, both products kept up a substantial amount of sudsy froth in the bucket. Additionally, both soaps rinsed cleanly and effortlessly, leaving only a superior gloss and no residue in their wake. Ultimately, there was no discernible distinction between the two groups. They both looked shiny and immaculate.

The rims and tires also showed good results with the auto soap, providing an overall excellent level of cleanliness. Neither produced the sticky residue that some less expensive vehicle wash products can.

By a narrow margin, The Verdict Chemical Guys managed to win over my devoted Meguiar's Gold Class acquaintance. We decided that the Chemical Guys Mr. Pink Shampoo seemed like a little better product after comparing the two. It cleaned filth and debris well, foamed better, and was simple to apply. We adore the scent as well. That may sound a little absurd, but did you know that washing your automobile may be made more enjoyable?

Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo lost to the Chemical Guys Mr. Pink car wash by a narrow margin in the end. That being said, Meguiar's Gold Class is still excellent. It's the best choice if you're seeking for anything affordable. Selecting a well-established industry favorite makes perfect sense when you can get twice as much washing for almost the same price.
