@Pan I am very thankful for your videos! I did have a question regarding the protection that may/may not come from the Adam's Graphene Shampoo. Watching the Adam's video here (th-cam.com/video/zMckQ816G3U/w-d-xo.html) they mention early in the video that it does provide some protection/hydrophobic properties. I was a bit confused after watching your video segment (around 24:45). Would you mind weighing in on this for me (hopefully helpful to others as well)? Thank you!
Hi Dustin. I answered this many times already in the comments section. I think the marketing team of Adam's might have been confused a bit. The Adam's Graphene Shampoo doesn't add any protection or hydrophobics. It just has a higher degreasing properties meant to restore the hydrophobics of a coating. And I got that information from the head chemist who blends the Adam's products himself. I asked him that exact question in this video: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Oops! I'm sorry, I did spend several minutes looking for this question in the comments and must have missed it. Thank you for getting back to a single viewer! Your videos have helped me so much. I tell everyone I know who loves detailing about your channel :)
@@PanTheOrganizer I watched that portion of the video. You're so thorough and... detailed (lol)! I appreciate it! I will watch the rest of the interview as well. Have a great week, Pan
This is a must. I have used TW ceramic 3 n 1 and gets 3+ months beading etc. tried gyeon bathe+ and essence with wet coat and QD. After 5 days both cars are coated in dirt again
I have used the P&S Pearl, Adam’s Graphene, and Turtle Wax. What’s stands out about each is the Pearl is super liquidity with phenomenal slickness/lubricity with wash mitt with lemon scent. Adam’s super cleaner/degreaser with a “mango-ish” scent and turtle wax great “all aroubder” great red apple scent great in foam cannon not wet but not mounds of foam (don’t like super thick foam as it takes more time to get off and messier)
Hey Pan! My favorite car soap so far has been turtle wax hybrid solutions slick n slide, love the slickness, the high foam, and the smell is subtle but amazing
I really appreciate comparing the costs on a per ounce basis; however, since the recommended concentrations vary so much by manufacturer, I think a more accurate price comparison would be "price per use" based on manufacturer recommended amounts. Something like bilt hammer may be more expensive but the concentration might actually make it the best value. Thanks for all you do for the detailing world!
Shout out to Bilt Hammer and Phoenix for creating a fragrance free shampoo! I know a lot of people like fragrances but they can be hard for sensitive people and some might even be allergic. Thank you for giving us options!
My favorite to include in a future video - Griots Garage Brilliant Finish Car Wash. It's a straight shampoo (no protection) but it also includes brighteners that makes the paint really pop. I foam the car with it as a pre-soak, rinse that off, then use it for a bucket wash. Does everything wonderfully for .20¢ per oz!
I don't think Griot's gets the respect they deserve. I find myself using more and more of their products these days. I'm anxious to try their new Brilliant Finish foam.
I think the reason Mr Pink is so popular is because it's so widely available at brick and mortar retailers, whereas almost none of the other shampoos are. The only other one I've seen in a store is Adam's. There's nothing wrong with ordering online, but a lot of people (myself included) would rather just go buy what they need than pay shipping and wait for days. I almost wish there was a B&M retailer that specialized in detailing products and had the products on a shelf.
Agreed. For the overwhelming majority of weekend warriors who many decide same day to to whatever WITH whatever - brick & mortar still rules. The strange downside is even though most b&m have expanded their shelf space it's STILL not even close to keeping up with explosion of wretched excess...
Of those in this test the only one that was available in my area was Mr. Pink. I like it both in the foam canon and for the hand wash. Some stores are now advertising turtle wax and adams. When I run out of Mr. Pink I think I'll go looking for one of those.
@@audieconrad8995 The product category really is exploding. Just in 2022, Pan profiled two or maybe even three entirely new companies with a whole line of products each. It's getting hard to keep up.
@cgraham6 reminds me of the craft brew biz - just too much... find something that ya like, learn to use it well, try something here and there, but man... wretched excess.
Adams sells a 5 gallon container. 30% off during the holidays .... $160 US dollars free shipping is $112 after discount. 640 ounces comes out to $0.175 per ouce. I buy bulk in anything I use a lot of. Great Video Pan!!!!
Every product here is a very good product. The top four for me in no particular order are GSF, Apex, Incredi Suds, and Reset. CarPro has the best overall line up of shampoos. For higher ph soaps like Lift you can add apc to other shampoos and get the same result. CarPro Descale is the only soap which excels in on the acidic side of the ph scale. The soap I am going to buy is from the manufacturer who provides the best customer service. Thank you so much for taking a lot of time to do the research for this video!
I use apex auto wash it’s simply amazing. I do wish at times it had a fruity smell but it is top notch super slick, super concentrated in the foaming is out of the world. I have tired some others that you have. But so far apex wash sticks out to me. Just different ❤
PS always comes in way cheaper for me. You can routinely find a Gallon for near or under 20 usd. Plus if you buy “combo” of pearl, brake buster and bead maker .. the cost go down either further. While it’s not a foam monster, it covers well and has great dwell time. I find the cleaning power to be great (especially for maintenance washes). Lastly I find the lubricity to be excellent as well and would totally feel comfortable claying with it
I'm a big fan of P & S pearl. Not the best foamer of all time, but the dwell time's legitimate. Additionally it has tremendous cleaning power and is gentle on the hands
A shampoo I love here in the UK is Garage Therapy One v2. Not sure if you can get it overseas as yet but if you can all their line is really impressive. Quality UK brand like Bilt Hamber
You dialed me onto Koch Chemie GSF around a year ago, As I said before, GSF is SUPER SLICK. How slick? My wash mitt slipped off the surface and flew out my hand and hit the floor. I laughed and at that moment, I was sold on GSF Even though its more expensive, it remains my favorite by far. I used Adams Car Shampoo after watching one of your previous videos. I like the idea of being able to use it in sunlight. It's on my shelf and used when needed. Out of curiosity, I'm going order the Phoenix Apex. Thanks again for another great video.
My car was coated professionally with carpro so I use carpro reset for the wash and exactly as you say, it's an amazing product. It's amazing how little of it you need for each wash. I'm bingeing all your videos to work out what products to get for the rest of my car and for my dad's 21-year-old car - I recently moved back to my home country and get a chance to give the old car some pampering. Thank you for all the high quality, detailed videos you've put out there - truly great content.

Mckees Xtreme Foam should be here. The amount of lubrication it provides is far superior than any we have used, including G-wash and KCX GSF. Not the best foam in foam lance, but very slick. We use about 1-2 ounce to 3 gallons.
I currently use Meguiar's Hyper Wash, which I like pretty much. It foams very well in the bucket and foam cannon with only 1oz. Have not tried the shaaaampooohs featured in this video so I cannot compare its performance to them. Nice comparison video.
I use a combination of Carpro Lift (if really dirty) and Adams Mega foam (light wash) and Carpro reset followed up with P&S bead maker as a drying aid, spray on wet and dry the car, also have had Avalon king armour shield as my coating and after a year and half it still going strong even in Canadian winter
I do something similar but use Gyeon Reset. On a coated car I mix the rest with either Adams or Koch Chemie GSF. Works really well. I'm going to try the carpro products next
Great video. Thanks for all the work you put into this one. I'm glad you brought up how well these products rinsed. It's one thing that is often overlooked and makes a huge impact on how well the detail looks at the end.
Hey Pan awesome video! I use Carpro reset now but have used Adam’s car shampoo and Mrpink in the past….Carpro reset is by far the best performer for my ceramic coating….thanks to you and your review of Carpro reset😊 again keep up the good work! Love to see more of these kinds of videos.
I've actually used quite a few of these, but there are some that I haven't (but want to try). I think one of my favorites over the years has been P&S Pearl. I've really liked Adam's Car Shampoo as well. I think one of the worst is Mr. Pink. It's about as cheap as you can get. I think I'd rather use Meguiar's or Turtle Wax over Chemical Guys.
A great review Pan! Yours is the only car detailing channel I watch. No one else provides all the information that I need to make informed decisions. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I really like GSF and Adams car shampoo. I think I need to use P&S Pearl again because I used it wrong initially when I started detailing. I thought every soap should be extremely thick but they all have their place. Great video Pan!
As a teen and young adult, I was using Turtle Wax zip wax. It took many years to realize a more concentrated product could be a better value (besides the performance differences and using a pure shampoo for detailing). I was today years old when I learned about the cleaning effectiveness of Adam's graphene - always assumed it was a slight upcharge for some residual paint protection.
Great video Pan. Thank you. I’m a big P&S fan. Produces great results, it’s versatile, high value, and rinses clean. I’m going to get some GSF to add to my arsenal.
I haven't used most of these products but I do use carpro reset on my ceramic coated car and it is great. Thats the one I recommend for coated vehicles
I wonder if instead of giving the price per ounce, a more fair comparison would have been price per ounce times how many ounces of that wash is needed to mix in 3 gallons of water for a wash or how much to fill up the container on a foam cannon? A very expensive wash on a per-ounce basis may actually be a decent value depending on how concentrated it is.
Totally right, bottle price is not important, price per wash is the only thing that counts. Selling a gallon of water for $1 doesn't mean it is fit for purpose.
Exactly what I thought, even though Carpro reset is 17$ compared to Pearl which is around 13$ Pearl used 3 oz for a gallon when reset uses only 1oz for 3-4 gallons
Pan, great video as always, you have been key to me learning how to properly take car of my 2004 WRX STi, thank you. Wanted drop a comment because I was scrolling through and saw so many comments have a reply from you, that is AWESOME how much you engage with your audience. Quality content.

Vonixx makes phenomenal products. They have one of the most cost effective iron removers that works really well. Big fan of their ceramic engine bay coating and their headlight coating. Can't beat it for the price
Love these videos Pan. Great info, as always. I have a suggestion for maybe a better fair comparison of costs: Rather than discussing cost per oz or ml, it would be more useful to know cost per use. I know it can be calculated based on the size of the bottle as I'm a research engineer, but for someone that doesnt think that way, they may not realize it is more cost effective to buy the more expensive product, as it is less expensive per wash. Some of these will change place in value perspective due to the amount you need to use for a single use. They may cost more for a bottle, but getting far more washes from that bottle makes them a better value.
I will calculate value per wash to see if something is still worth buying but the problem with that is we don't always follow the manufactures description, or they can vary between an amount where it's still up to you the user to decide. For example I might want more slickness than you and maybe you use 3 ounces per wash in a bucket but I might use 5, etc. so I feel that part is far more subjective because our expectations of the product will vary greatly out in the real world.
Hi Pan!!! Another great vídeo about car shampoos. I've used Carpro Reset, P&S Pearl, Gyeon Bath, Adams Graphene shampoo, Chemical Guys Mr Pink, Koch Chemie GSF all of these shampoo are fantastic great performnace and amazing scent. Thank U a lot Pan!!! I've learned so much about detailing products and techniques 💯👌👌👌
Just used the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pure Wash, and it's awesome. I used 2 capfuls (just under 1/2 ounce) for my wheels and 2 capfuls (just under 1/2 ounce) for the car body. A half ounce is 1/4 of what the instructions call for (2 ounces). It just kept foaming and foaming whenever I sprayed into the bucket. And super slick. Thanks, Pan, I nominate you for the rap nickname Kid Lubricious.
Great comparison video 👍 I’ll have to give that Shine Supply Shift a spin. My favorite all-rounder is still GSF, once you get used to how easily it rinses off (and addicted to the smell) it’s hard to want to try anything else. Shift might be a suitable challenger!
I find in my foam cannon, p&s gives me the best value as I buy the largest size available. In the wash bucket, my go is Adam’s Graphene during maintenance; super slick and the surface is very well lubricated. Once every few months, I’ll use Feynlab Pure Wash to deep clean my coated surface. I find pure wash cleans really well compared to Adams Graphene. Would love to hear your thoughts if youre ever able to test products from feynlab 👍
Hey Pan! Big Adam's fan here,love the slickness, value and fast shipping from Adam's but also like to try other shampoos as well. Recently bought some mad detailing supplies but haven't received them yet. Could you do a review on the mad detailing super blue shampoo?
Same here I tend to wait for holidays, can get a gallon with free 16oz, .36 cent a oz for mega foam and .22 cents a oz for the car shampoo hard to beat 🤙
Thanks for another great video. Please do another video with the shampoos that have some sort of protection in them to compare the difference between them and the one with no protection.
Bilt Hamber being the highest in price due to import taxes would still be the cheapest price per wash then all of the others due to its concentration. I've still got half a bottle after 18 months and I use it very frequently. I kinda think you should have mentioned that...oh well. I'll try the Carpro reset next as my car is coated with a mixture of UK 3.0 two coats and two coats of S.I.C so it will be interesting to see how Reset will work with those other two products from Carpro.
Have you noticed he never says anything negative about these products? Not PH balanced? Don't worry about it. Not foaming? Not designed to. Expensive? Well worth it. Just once I would like to hear him review a product he was disappointed in.
Hey John, I used to think this way as well. But in interviews he stated and even showed boxes of products he was sent tested not revealing the companies names. Because to him in his channel he will only show the products he likes. Pan said he will never bad mouth a company if it doesn’t work for him he won’t showcase it on his channel. So pretty much he tests the products before hand then showcase if it’s good.
cOmpuJ0hn - Pan has always stated “it is his opinion” and never changed his style of reviewing products. At the same time; in this video he states “all” products in this review are “pure shampoos” that are good (without added protection), however, Pan points out the nit picking issues. Ceramic, Acrylic or Polymer protection will react to differing shampoos. Northeast states (winter salt) vs southwest (dry, sand hot) will also affect the shampoo and water mix (hard water?). Indoor garage, car port or outdoor parking also affects the shampoo to use. J0hn you have to cut through the review to take the info you want. Consider this thought - if Pan is disappointed in a product - it will not make it on his channel. Pick the shampoo that relates to your conditions (daily driven car vs weekend warrior vs garage Queen show car)
I'm so glad you've said this as this is what my channel is about. Granted I haven't uploaded for a while but I always give my honest opinion with any product I test.
Excellent explanation Jonathan Cooper. Also remember, he is reviewing nothing but the best products. They are all good, none are bad. For example car pro reset is truly not designed to be a huge foamer but it's still an excellent product. It just depends on your wants and needs. I prefer foam so I like Turtle Wax purewash. I don't think he's trying to be diplomatic, I think he's being honest with a bunch of GREAT products.
@@elilee9112 I totally get that. Just once I would like the "Here are the products to avoid" video. Personally, I think that if everything you ever review is good at some point you start to sound more like an advertisement and less like a product reviewer. I want the @ProjectFarm version of car detailing products.
Important video for those new to pH levels in soaps and understanding when to use them. For this year, two soaps I'd like to test out is Shift and Apex! In the past GSF and Adam's have been my go to soaps but I found myself using ONR way more than ever last year. The goal this year is to wake up earlier during the work week for maintenance washes. By the way Pan, Bilt Hamber Auto Wash is 24.95 USD for the 16oz bottle at The Clean Garage out of Pennsylvania.
Hi Pan, well done on another excellent video. I use Adams Car Shampoo and will give it a go in the foam cannon next time as you suggest. Nice to hear Millilitres mentioned for dilutions too as well as ounces - makes more sense for UK users😊
We’re getting close to 1 million subscribers Pan!! I’m so proud of you 👏 I know you can do it and pass it by very soon. Love your channel and love you ❤ Diane from sunny Florida
Pan your knowledge and in depth explanation are more appreciated than you know. I just got a ceramic coat from OP 5yr.. So I've been trying to find products to help maintain them
Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated! Welcome to my channel.

I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. For your coating, make sure you use a good drying aid when towel drying. I made a video about my top picks here: th-cam.com/video/NOTNed04xYE/w-d-xo.html And once every 2 to 3 months, you should be applying a ceramic or graphene spray topper, to help maintain the properties, durability and performance of your coating. You can find my top recommendations in my awards video: th-cam.com/video/gRwsznwfTwE/w-d-xo.html
I must say this was an extremely well detailed video. Definitely learned a few things here. For me performance is 1st followed by price. If it's top quality you don't mind paying. Great video pan! 👍
Another Great comparison video Pan. All of my vehicles are Graphene coated and I started using the Adams Graphene Shampoo. I did notice the enhanced water beading and sheeting after washing my cars and I thought it was due to the graphene content not that it was doing a better job of removing the films. Must say I did notice a bigger change on my vehicles that are parked outside unprotected. Thanks for the information.
I’m gonna have to say, picked up a bottle of GSF from a shop down the street, and I love that snow foam to death. Can just foam it on, and it takes off most of that loose dirt!
An excellent video! My overall favorite for scent is P&S Pearl, followed by Ethos Foam Party. My favorite in the bucket is Slick and Slide, followed by Bathe, and then Pearl. While it isn't in this list, Mega Foam is still my favorite snow foam. My sister loves Reset, but I don't use it because I use paste waxes on my car. I've used the Graphene Shampoo, and it cleans well, but I don't like the smell at all. I bought Shift, but haven't used it yet. And I used Mr Pink as my first snow foam. As you said, it just works.
I have to buy a bottle of Lithium just to smell it. It's probably not for you or people like you but Duragloss seems to be a favorite of some in the older crowd. My friend who do it professionally use 3D but I think some of that is just. It was recommended to them once upon a time and they appreciate that the brand has products that will do what they claim in a cost-effective manner. I use Reset just because it's the cheapest. I use the last little bit of Adams and forgot how much I like them and realized that it is kind of nice to have a scent. Carnuba, patchouli, eucalyptus, and citrus all sound like excellent scents. Hopefully more companies that make good products will continue to experiment with more "old people" scents
Pan, I have used the Adams graphene shampoo. I really love how it brings back the hydrophobic properties of the Adams graphene ceramic coating. Recently used it on my wife's vehicle. Brought back shine that I could not get with other shampoos.
Yes, that's because it has a stronger degreasing power compared to traditional pH neutral shampoos that can't remove road film and grime as good, hence you are "unclogging" the coating and restoring its normal hydrophobics. I also highlighted that in a 14-month update video of the Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating applied to my girlfriend's vehicle in this video: th-cam.com/video/XGEkuR77poM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the math! How did you calculate Adams Car Shampoo though? $15 CAD for 16oz or $0.94 per 1oz. The dilution is 1-2oz per bucket = $0.94 to $1.88 per bucket 🤷♂️
@@mikhailm4594 I went with the ratios Pan mentioned in the video, which is 1-2oz. in 3 gallons of water. Since I was calculating for a 5 gallon bucket that comes to about 1.6 - 3.2oz. per bucket. Still, I seemed to be off so if I average out the usage (1.5oz. per 3 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket) we come to 2.1$ CAD per wash. I should probably recheck the math since it was fairly improvised and I was growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of consistency between manufacturers and their recommended ratios. Thanks for double checking!

When calculating the best value, selling price is irrelevant. It's the cost per use that counts. Many "value" brands cost less but you use a lot more product.
I’ve tried the Adams and found it did not rinse off well. In the Florida heat I’ve found that Gyeon is the best for my black vehicles. It rinses amazingly. It may be pricey but is awesome.
My faves that I have used are CarPro Reset, Adams Graphene Shampoo and Adams Car Shampoo. There are SOOO many good ones in this list I would love to try!

Adam's Graphene shampoo really surprised me. That stuff is phenomenal at cutting road grime and has crazy lubrication. One of, if not the slickest shampoo I've used. And I own way too many

Thank you for taking all your time for extensive research car shampoos. Enjoy your channel & great reviews. Pls keep these type of comparisons coming. Thanks again
I would say in a future video you should probably compare the price via price-per-wash instead of per oz considering the concentrations are all over the place.
Another great video sir! I have been using car pro reset for over 1 year now. It does have high lubricants. However, i just cant get past the fact that it doesnt suds well. It suds up in the bucket under pressure, but on my truck, not so. I have began adding a squirt of chemical guys ceramic wash to put suds on my mitt.
Would like to see more shampoos on the market that offer excellent cleaning for ceramic coatings, bringing back hydrophobic properties, works in the sun and has superb gloss enhancers. Not enough shampoos advertise high gloss!
As per CarPro’s own directions, it’s not for use for regular washes. Reset is better for weekly washes. Descale is a specialty shampoo to strip older waxes, remove mineral deposits from water spots, etc.
I used Adams graphene shampoo twice. I can vouch for it, it doesn't add anything to the hydrophobics. In fact, I think it slightly takes away from it :(
I've used CP Reset exclusively on my coated vehicles but wasn't satisfied with the hydrophobics after a wash. I went to BH Auto foam, then CP Descale foam, and lastly Descale hand wash and the results were very good. I may substitute Reset for the hand wash after Auto Foam and Descale foaming to see how that goes.
I definitely need to try the cucumber melon scented soap now, GSF that cherry scent is divine. I like the diy detail incredible suds lately its been very good. I use it with clay if needed, its just incredible. Bilt hammer is another fantastic brand, carpro there's so much innovation happening

@Pan I am very thankful for your videos! I did have a question regarding the protection that may/may not come from the Adam's Graphene Shampoo. Watching the Adam's video here (th-cam.com/video/zMckQ816G3U/w-d-xo.html) they mention early in the video that it does provide some protection/hydrophobic properties. I was a bit confused after watching your video segment (around 24:45). Would you mind weighing in on this for me (hopefully helpful to others as well)? Thank you!
Hi Dustin. I answered this many times already in the comments section. I think the marketing team of Adam's might have been confused a bit. The Adam's Graphene Shampoo doesn't add any protection or hydrophobics. It just has a higher degreasing properties meant to restore the hydrophobics of a coating.
And I got that information from the head chemist who blends the Adam's products himself. I asked him that exact question in this video: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.html

We need 100% a Video where you wash a unprotected car with a protecting shampoo to see how good is the protection just from the shampoo.
I’d also like to see that in a comparison the way this is with various ones from the market
Agreed
I agree I'd love to see this
This is a must. I have used TW ceramic 3 n 1 and gets 3+ months beading etc. tried gyeon bathe+ and essence with wet coat and QD. After 5 days both cars are coated in dirt again
Great idea
I use Turtle Wax Slick n slide pure wash. The smell IS nice, slickness is good and cost per wash is great. Good shampoo overall👌
Your research is stellar. Extremely detailed (no pun intended) with Q&A directly from manufacturers. Great stuff
Thank you!
I have used the P&S Pearl, Adam’s Graphene, and Turtle Wax. What’s stands out about each is the Pearl is super liquidity with phenomenal slickness/lubricity with wash mitt with lemon scent. Adam’s super cleaner/degreaser with a “mango-ish” scent and turtle wax great “all aroubder” great red apple scent great in foam cannon not wet but not mounds of foam (don’t like super thick foam as it takes more time to get off and messier)
What are you talking about? The Turtle Wax doesn't smell like red apple at all
@@blahz7152 I know what I said if it smells like red candy apple to me than it’s red candy apple. 2500 varieties of apple are grown in the USA.
@@davidnuxoll7074 or you're lying for some weird reason....
hello, have you done a versus of pear pys versus Adams car shampoo ?
Hey Pan! My favorite car soap so far has been turtle wax hybrid solutions slick n slide, love the slickness, the high foam, and the smell is subtle but amazing
Ditto. Slick and slide Pure wash is great in a foam cannon and a bucket. Super slick.
I really appreciate comparing the costs on a per ounce basis; however, since the recommended concentrations vary so much by manufacturer, I think a more accurate price comparison would be "price per use" based on manufacturer recommended amounts. Something like bilt hammer may be more expensive but the concentration might actually make it the best value. Thanks for all you do for the detailing world!
Thanks
Agreed. A better comparison would be "cost per diluted ounce"
Shout out to Bilt Hammer and Phoenix for creating a fragrance free shampoo! I know a lot of people like fragrances but they can be hard for sensitive people and some might even be allergic. Thank you for giving us options!
strong & very Professional grade too
Meguiar's Gold Class has always worked for me. Widely available everywhere and the bottle lasts me for years as you don't need much to get nice suds.
My favorite to include in a future video - Griots Garage Brilliant Finish Car Wash. It's a straight shampoo (no protection) but it also includes brighteners that makes the paint really pop. I foam the car with it as a pre-soak, rinse that off, then use it for a bucket wash. Does everything wonderfully for .20¢ per oz!
I don't think Griot's gets the respect they deserve. I find myself using more and more of their products these days. I'm anxious to try their new Brilliant Finish foam.
Same here bro! Brilliant is very under rated, and gives off a shine once dry! I might add easily accessible as well!
LOVE Griots products. Their interior products are incredible as well.
I think the reason Mr Pink is so popular is because it's so widely available at brick and mortar retailers, whereas almost none of the other shampoos are. The only other one I've seen in a store is Adam's. There's nothing wrong with ordering online, but a lot of people (myself included) would rather just go buy what they need than pay shipping and wait for days. I almost wish there was a B&M retailer that specialized in detailing products and had the products on a shelf.
Agreed. For the overwhelming majority of weekend warriors who many decide same day to to whatever WITH whatever - brick & mortar still rules. The strange downside is even though most b&m have expanded their shelf space it's STILL not even close to keeping up with explosion of wretched excess...
Glad Griots have some good stuff off the shelve
Of those in this test the only one that was available in my area was Mr. Pink. I like it both in the foam canon and for the hand wash. Some stores are now advertising turtle wax and adams. When I run out of Mr. Pink I think I'll go looking for one of those.
@@audieconrad8995 The product category really is exploding. Just in 2022, Pan profiled two or maybe even three entirely new companies with a whole line of products each. It's getting hard to keep up.
@cgraham6 reminds me of the craft brew biz - just too much...
find something that ya like, learn to use it well, try something here and there, but man...
wretched excess.
Adams sells a 5 gallon container. 30% off during the holidays .... $160 US dollars free shipping is $112 after discount. 640 ounces comes out to $0.175 per ouce. I buy bulk in anything I use a lot of. Great Video Pan!!!!
Thanks
Every product here is a very good product. The top four for me in no particular order are GSF, Apex, Incredi Suds, and Reset. CarPro has the best overall line up of shampoos. For higher ph soaps like Lift you can add apc to other shampoos and get the same result. CarPro Descale is the only soap which excels in on the acidic side of the ph scale. The soap I am going to buy is from the manufacturer who provides the best customer service. Thank you so much for taking a lot of time to do the research for this video!
I use apex auto wash it’s simply amazing. I do wish at times it had a fruity smell but it is top notch super slick, super concentrated in the foaming is out of the world. I have tired some others that you have. But so far apex wash sticks out to me. Just different ❤
PS always comes in way cheaper for me. You can routinely find a Gallon for near or under 20 usd. Plus if you buy “combo” of pearl, brake buster and bead maker .. the cost go down either further.
While it’s not a foam monster, it covers well and has great dwell time. I find the cleaning power to be great (especially for maintenance washes). Lastly I find the lubricity to be excellent as well and would totally feel comfortable claying with it
I'm a big fan of P & S pearl. Not the best foamer of all time, but the dwell time's legitimate. Additionally it has tremendous cleaning power and is gentle on the hands
A shampoo I love here in the UK is Garage Therapy One v2. Not sure if you can get it overseas as yet but if you can all their line is really impressive. Quality UK brand like Bilt Hamber
You dialed me onto Koch Chemie GSF around a year ago, As I said before, GSF is SUPER SLICK.
How slick? My wash mitt slipped off the surface and flew out my hand and hit the floor. I laughed and at that moment, I was sold on GSF Even though its more expensive, it remains my favorite by far.
I used Adams Car Shampoo after watching one of your previous videos. I like the idea of being able to use it in sunlight. It's on my shelf and used when needed.
Out of curiosity, I'm going order the Phoenix Apex.
Thanks again for another great video.
Thanks Keith! And thanks for the trust you place in my opinion.
Also Griot's Brilliant Shine car shampoo is very good and smells phenomenal!!
My car was coated professionally with carpro so I use carpro reset for the wash and exactly as you say, it's an amazing product. It's amazing how little of it you need for each wash. I'm bingeing all your videos to work out what products to get for the rest of my car and for my dad's 21-year-old car - I recently moved back to my home country and get a chance to give the old car some pampering. Thank you for all the high quality, detailed videos you've put out there - truly great content.

Mckees Xtreme Foam should be here. The amount of lubrication it provides is far superior than any we have used, including G-wash and KCX GSF. Not the best foam in foam lance, but very slick. We use about 1-2 ounce to 3 gallons.
Thank you for including DIY Detail Incredible Suds in your line up. For your fans that like to know the PIR Incredible Suds has a PIR of 0.33%.
You bet!
I currently use Meguiar's Hyper Wash, which I like pretty much.
It foams very well in the bucket and foam cannon with only 1oz.
Have not tried the shaaaampooohs featured in this video so I cannot compare its performance to them.
Nice comparison video.
I use a combination of Carpro Lift (if really dirty) and Adams Mega foam (light wash) and Carpro reset followed up with P&S bead maker as a drying aid, spray on wet and dry the car, also have had Avalon king armour shield as my coating and after a year and half it still going strong even in Canadian winter
I do something similar but use Gyeon Reset. On a coated car I mix the rest with either Adams or Koch Chemie GSF. Works really well. I'm going to try the carpro products next
Thanks for another great video Pan. I was surprised that Meguire's Gold Class carwash shampoo wasn't included in this video.
Thanks Clay. Like I said, it was impossible to include all shampoos known to man in a single test.
What I use is Meguiar's Gold Class Car Shampoo. It may not be the best. But I like it. I think it's PH balanced.
Great video. Thanks for all the work you put into this one. I'm glad you brought up how well these products rinsed. It's one thing that is often overlooked and makes a huge impact on how well the detail looks at the end.
Thanks for watching!
Very good point
Hey Pan awesome video! I use Carpro reset now but have used Adam’s car shampoo and Mrpink in the past….Carpro reset is by far the best performer for my ceramic coating….thanks to you and your review of Carpro reset😊 again keep up the good work! Love to see more of these kinds of videos.
Thanks for sharing!!
I've actually used quite a few of these, but there are some that I haven't (but want to try). I think one of my favorites over the years has been P&S Pearl. I've really liked Adam's Car Shampoo as well. I think one of the worst is Mr. Pink. It's about as cheap as you can get. I think I'd rather use Meguiar's or Turtle Wax over Chemical Guys.
Give a try Turtle wax mac power, is budget Reset
I’m a big fan of Adam’s shampoo but I just bought a gallon of the P&S Pearl auto shampoo and I like a lot both are products I would recommend.
A great review Pan! Yours is the only car detailing channel I watch. No one else provides all the information that I need to make informed decisions. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Thanks James! I really appreciate your support and positive feedback! 😁👍🏻
I really like GSF and Adams car shampoo. I think I need to use P&S Pearl again because I used it wrong initially when I started detailing. I thought every soap should be extremely thick but they all have their place. Great video Pan!
Thanks
As a teen and young adult, I was using Turtle Wax zip wax. It took many years to realize a more concentrated product could be a better value (besides the performance differences and using a pure shampoo for detailing). I was today years old when I learned about the cleaning effectiveness of Adam's graphene - always assumed it was a slight upcharge for some residual paint protection.
Liquid Elements and Kenotek are two European companies that have some really nice shampoos.
Yes, please do a video on the soaps with protection. Great video Pan!
Agree!
Thanks!
Great video Pan. Thank you. I’m a big P&S fan. Produces great results, it’s versatile, high value, and rinses clean. I’m going to get some GSF to add to my arsenal.
I use Adams mega foam in the cannon and Gyeon bathe with 1 cap of Mckees Rinseless wash for the hand wash bucket….great results!!
I haven't used most of these products but I do use carpro reset on my ceramic coated car and it is great. Thats the one I recommend for coated vehicles
I wonder if instead of giving the price per ounce, a more fair comparison would have been price per ounce times how many ounces of that wash is needed to mix in 3 gallons of water for a wash or how much to fill up the container on a foam cannon? A very expensive wash on a per-ounce basis may actually be a decent value depending on how concentrated it is.
Totally right, bottle price is not important, price per wash is the only thing that counts. Selling a gallon of water for $1 doesn't mean it is fit for purpose.
Exactly what I thought, even though Carpro reset is 17$ compared to Pearl which is around 13$ Pearl used 3 oz for a gallon when reset uses only 1oz for 3-4 gallons
Pan, great video as always, you have been key to me learning how to properly take car of my 2004 WRX STi, thank you. Wanted drop a comment because I was scrolling through and saw so many comments have a reply from you, that is AWESOME how much you engage with your audience. Quality content.

Fantastic lineup and I truly appreciate your knowledge, Pan! My top 3 are…..
#1 - Phoenix EOD Apex Auto Wash.
#2 - Vonixx Citron Alkaline Shampoo.
#3 - Griot’s Garage Ceramic Wash & Coat.
Vonixx makes phenomenal products. They have one of the most cost effective iron removers that works really well. Big fan of their ceramic engine bay coating and their headlight coating. Can't beat it for the price
Thanks for sharing!
Great video, Pan.👍 I live in Britain and I buy the Bilt Hamber in 1L quantity for even better value. The best shampoo I have used.👍
Love these videos Pan. Great info, as always. I have a suggestion for maybe a better fair comparison of costs: Rather than discussing cost per oz or ml, it would be more useful to know cost per use. I know it can be calculated based on the size of the bottle as I'm a research engineer, but for someone that doesnt think that way, they may not realize it is more cost effective to buy the more expensive product, as it is less expensive per wash.
Some of these will change place in value perspective due to the amount you need to use for a single use. They may cost more for a bottle, but getting far more washes from that bottle makes them a better value.
Good suggestion!
My 3 go to products that I use are Adams mega foam, Autofanatic snow foam and Griots Garage Surface Wash. Thanks for the review Pan.
Thanks for sharing!
GREAT video. would be interesting to see value based on cost per bucket, or cost per wash, since the concentrates differ from brand to brand.
Great suggestion!
I will calculate value per wash to see if something is still worth buying but the problem with that is we don't always follow the manufactures description, or they can vary between an amount where it's still up to you the user to decide. For example I might want more slickness than you and maybe you use 3 ounces per wash in a bucket but I might use 5, etc. so I feel that part is far more subjective because our expectations of the product will vary greatly out in the real world.
Hi Pan!!! Another great vídeo about car shampoos. I've used Carpro Reset, P&S Pearl, Gyeon Bath, Adams Graphene shampoo, Chemical Guys Mr Pink, Koch Chemie GSF all of these shampoo are fantastic great performnace and amazing scent. Thank U a lot Pan!!! I've learned so much about detailing products and techniques 💯👌👌👌
Thanks Joaquin!
Hey Pam love your tips and reviews!!! Can you show us how to get the black trim back to a high shine and get rid of the white edges from wax! Thanks
Try a Torch
Just used the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pure Wash, and it's awesome. I used 2 capfuls (just under 1/2 ounce) for my wheels and 2 capfuls (just under 1/2 ounce) for the car body. A half ounce is 1/4 of what the instructions call for (2 ounces). It just kept foaming and foaming whenever I sprayed into the bucket. And super slick. Thanks, Pan, I nominate you for the rap nickname Kid Lubricious.
Great comparison video 👍
I’ll have to give that Shine Supply Shift a spin. My favorite all-rounder is still GSF, once you get used to how easily it rinses off (and addicted to the smell) it’s hard to want to try anything else. Shift might be a suitable challenger!
Performance is what I look for. I use Pearl, Gwash, Carpro Lift. I am ok paying more for a product if the performance is top notch.
Pan I think the best way to compare price would be $/wash and not ounce.
I find in my foam cannon, p&s gives me the best value as I buy the largest size available.
In the wash bucket, my go is Adam’s Graphene during maintenance; super slick and the surface is very well lubricated.
Once every few months, I’ll use Feynlab Pure Wash to deep clean my coated surface. I find pure wash cleans really well compared to Adams Graphene.
Would love to hear your thoughts if youre ever able to test products from feynlab 👍
Hey Pan! Big Adam's fan here,love the slickness, value and fast shipping from Adam's but also like to try other shampoos as well. Recently bought some mad detailing supplies but haven't received them yet. Could you do a review on the mad detailing super blue shampoo?
If I get enough viewer requests for it, I’ll look into it for sure. 👍🏻
Same here I tend to wait for holidays, can get a gallon with free 16oz, .36 cent a oz for mega foam and .22 cents a oz for the car shampoo hard to beat 🤙
Thanks for another great video. Please do another video with the shampoos that have some sort of protection in them to compare the difference between them and the one with no protection.
Thanks Mark!
Nice vid. Wish you would have calculated a cost per wash
Great suggestion!
Bilt Hamber being the highest in price due to import taxes would still be the cheapest price per wash then all of the others due to its concentration. I've still got half a bottle after 18 months and I use it very frequently. I kinda think you should have mentioned that...oh well. I'll try the Carpro reset next as my car is coated with a mixture of UK 3.0 two coats and two coats of S.I.C so it will be interesting to see how Reset will work with those other two products from Carpro.
Have you noticed he never says anything negative about these products? Not PH balanced? Don't worry about it. Not foaming? Not designed to. Expensive? Well worth it. Just once I would like to hear him review a product he was disappointed in.
Hey John, I used to think this way as well. But in interviews he stated and even showed boxes of products he was sent tested not revealing the companies names. Because to him in his channel he will only show the products he likes.
Pan said he will never bad mouth a company if it doesn’t work for him he won’t showcase it on his channel. So pretty much he tests the products before hand then showcase if it’s good.
cOmpuJ0hn - Pan has always stated “it is his opinion” and never changed his style of reviewing products. At the same time; in this video he states “all” products in this review are “pure shampoos” that are good (without added protection), however, Pan points out the nit picking issues.
Ceramic, Acrylic or Polymer protection will react to differing shampoos. Northeast states (winter salt) vs southwest (dry, sand hot) will also affect the shampoo and water mix (hard water?). Indoor garage, car port or outdoor parking also affects the shampoo to use.
J0hn you have to cut through the review to take the info you want.
Consider this thought - if Pan is disappointed in a product - it will not make it on his channel.
Pick the shampoo that relates to your conditions (daily driven car vs weekend warrior vs garage Queen show car)
I'm so glad you've said this as this is what my channel is about. Granted I haven't uploaded for a while but I always give my honest opinion with any product I test.
Excellent explanation Jonathan Cooper. Also remember, he is reviewing nothing but the best products. They are all good, none are bad. For example car pro reset is truly not designed to be a huge foamer but it's still an excellent product. It just depends on your wants and needs. I prefer foam so I like Turtle Wax purewash. I don't think he's trying to be diplomatic, I think he's being honest with a bunch of GREAT products.
@@elilee9112 I totally get that. Just once I would like the "Here are the products to avoid" video. Personally, I think that if everything you ever review is good at some point you start to sound more like an advertisement and less like a product reviewer. I want the @ProjectFarm version of car detailing products.
Important video for those new to pH levels in soaps and understanding when to use them. For this year, two soaps I'd like to test out is Shift and Apex! In the past GSF and Adam's have been my go to soaps but I found myself using ONR way more than ever last year. The goal this year is to wake up earlier during the work week for maintenance washes. By the way Pan, Bilt Hamber Auto Wash is 24.95 USD for the 16oz bottle at The Clean Garage out of Pennsylvania.
Hi Pan, well done on another excellent video. I use Adams Car Shampoo and will give it a go in the foam cannon next time as you suggest. Nice to hear Millilitres mentioned for dilutions too as well as ounces - makes more sense for UK users😊
Great content as usual mate! Of course we would like to see a video with shampoo’s that have some protection in them! Thanks a lot!
Thanks!
We’re getting close to 1 million subscribers Pan!! I’m so proud of you 👏 I know you can do it and pass it by very soon. Love your channel and love you ❤ Diane from sunny Florida
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the support Diane!
Have a great week.
CarPro Reset is my go to but yesterday I washed with P&S Pearl and was very surprised at how good it was.
Pan your knowledge and in depth explanation are more appreciated than you know. I just got a ceramic coat from OP 5yr.. So I've been trying to find products to help maintain them
Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated! Welcome to my channel.

For your coating, make sure you use a good drying aid when towel drying. I made a video about my top picks here: th-cam.com/video/NOTNed04xYE/w-d-xo.html
And once every 2 to 3 months, you should be applying a ceramic or graphene spray topper, to help maintain the properties, durability and performance of your coating. You can find my top recommendations in my awards video: th-cam.com/video/gRwsznwfTwE/w-d-xo.html
I must say this was an extremely well detailed video. Definitely learned a few things here. For me performance is 1st followed by price. If it's top quality you don't mind paying. Great video pan! 👍
Thanks man!
Another Great comparison video Pan. All of my vehicles are Graphene coated and I started using the Adams Graphene Shampoo. I did notice the enhanced water beading and sheeting after washing my cars and I thought it was due to the graphene content not that it was doing a better job of removing the films. Must say I did notice a bigger change on my vehicles that are parked outside unprotected. Thanks for the information.
I can’t wait to try the Graphene Shampoo, gonna be using the advanced graphene spray coating after winter!
My pleasure!
I’m gonna have to say, picked up a bottle of GSF from a shop down the street, and I love that snow foam to death. Can just foam it on, and it takes off most of that loose dirt!
An excellent video! My overall favorite for scent is P&S Pearl, followed by Ethos Foam Party. My favorite in the bucket is Slick and Slide, followed by Bathe, and then Pearl. While it isn't in this list, Mega Foam is still my favorite snow foam. My sister loves Reset, but I don't use it because I use paste waxes on my car. I've used the Graphene Shampoo, and it cleans well, but I don't like the smell at all. I bought Shift, but haven't used it yet. And I used Mr Pink as my first snow foam. As you said, it just works.
Thanks for sharing
I have to buy a bottle of Lithium just to smell it. It's probably not for you or people like you but Duragloss seems to be a favorite of some in the older crowd. My friend who do it professionally use 3D but I think some of that is just. It was recommended to them once upon a time and they appreciate that the brand has products that will do what they claim in a cost-effective manner. I use Reset just because it's the cheapest. I use the last little bit of Adams and forgot how much I like them and realized that it is kind of nice to have a scent. Carnuba, patchouli, eucalyptus, and citrus all sound like excellent scents. Hopefully more companies that make good products will continue to experiment with more "old people" scents
Pan,
I have used the Adams graphene shampoo.
I really love how it brings back the hydrophobic properties of the Adams graphene ceramic coating. Recently used it on my wife's vehicle.
Brought back shine that I could not get with other shampoos.
Yes, that's because it has a stronger degreasing power compared to traditional pH neutral shampoos that can't remove road film and grime as good, hence you are "unclogging" the coating and restoring its normal hydrophobics.
I also highlighted that in a 14-month update video of the Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating applied to my girlfriend's vehicle in this video: th-cam.com/video/XGEkuR77poM/w-d-xo.html
Another great video Pan thank you.
I really like Turtle wax Pure but my all time favorite is CG BlackLight.
I did the math! Price per wash in CAD, for a 5 gallon bucket:
DIY Detail $1,58
KochChemie GSF $3,85
Gyeon Bathe $1,89
Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash $0,66
Carpro Reset $1,60
Auto Fanatic 007 Snow Storm $4,64
Adams Car Shampoo $3,55
Adams Graphene Shampoo $7,27
Shine Supply Shift $4,06
P&S Pearl $2,43
Turtle Wax Slick n Slide $1,68
Phoenix E.O.D. Apex $2,28
Gtechniq Gwash $1,76
Lithium Double Tap $4,75
Chemical Guys Mr. Pink $2,44
Dilution is everything.
Thank you for the math! How did you calculate Adams Car Shampoo though? $15 CAD for 16oz or $0.94 per 1oz. The dilution is 1-2oz per bucket = $0.94 to $1.88 per bucket 🤷♂️
@@mikhailm4594 I went with the ratios Pan mentioned in the video, which is 1-2oz. in 3 gallons of water. Since I was calculating for a 5 gallon bucket that comes to about 1.6 - 3.2oz. per bucket. Still, I seemed to be off so if I average out the usage (1.5oz. per 3 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket) we come to 2.1$ CAD per wash.
I should probably recheck the math since it was fairly improvised and I was growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of consistency between manufacturers and their recommended ratios. Thanks for double checking!

Agree for BH comment. I don’t want to mess around figuring out PIR I just want a simple measurement in Mil or Fl oz per X amount to use.
For car shampoo, I been using Adams Car Shampoo (Red - OG) and use Adams Mega Foam and CG Honeydew Snow Foam for foam cannon.
DIY incredible suds smells great and you only need 1 oz in a foam cannon. Incredible product! P&S Pearl also great bang for your buck.
Summed up...Gsf for prewash, CarPro Reset for the actual handwash and the graphene shampoo in case your car is already coated
🤞🏼
When calculating the best value, selling price is irrelevant. It's the cost per use that counts. Many "value" brands cost less but you use a lot more product.
WOW!!! Lots of info, knowledge & research you put into this video…thanks. I may have to try some of these products for my personal use
Glad it was helpful! What’s your usual go-to shampoo?
I’ve tried the Adams and found it did not rinse off well. In the Florida heat I’ve found that Gyeon is the best for my black vehicles. It rinses amazingly. It may be pricey but is awesome.
My faves that I have used are CarPro Reset, Adams Graphene Shampoo and Adams Car Shampoo. There are SOOO many good ones in this list I would love to try!

Unfortunately those exact measuring cups aren't available anymore.
A hot tip for everyone detailing their cars. Take your number plates off each time before you start. The amount of gunk behind them can really build up over time
You should try Detail Firm Exterior Lather, the packaging, bergamot scent, and ridiculous foam from 1/2 - 1 ounce is insane and now at TOC Supplies!
Pls do a video on soaps with protection. Very informative video!
Great suggestion!
I love that you made such an in-depth video on car shampoos, fantastic work Pan👏🏻❤️. At the moment my go to shampoo is definitely CarPro Reset👍🏻, keeps my ceramic coating functioning like its supposed to👍🏻.
😁
@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻❤️
Adam's Graphene shampoo really surprised me. That stuff is phenomenal at cutting road grime and has crazy lubrication. One of, if not the slickest shampoo I've used. And I own way too many

Thank you for taking all your time for extensive research car shampoos. Enjoy your channel & great reviews. Pls keep these type of comparisons coming. Thanks again
Thank you! Will do!
So many choices! Thanks for the video and coverage on all of these products!
Thanks!
I would say in a future video you should probably compare the price via price-per-wash instead of per oz considering the concentrations are all over the place.
For me the biggest benefit of using true PH neutral products is it doesn’t destroy my hands!
Lithium Double Tap for my vehicles. I do use it in a foam cannon and suds as well as all the others. I did change it my thread nozzle to a 1.1mm.
Another great video sir! I have been using car pro reset for over 1 year now. It does have high lubricants. However, i just cant get past the fact that it doesnt suds well. It suds up in the bucket under pressure, but on my truck, not so. I have began adding a squirt of chemical guys ceramic wash to put suds on my mitt.
Would like to see more shampoos on the market that offer excellent cleaning for ceramic coatings, bringing back hydrophobic properties, works in the sun and has superb gloss enhancers. Not enough shampoos advertise high gloss!
My new favourite shampoo is carpro Descale. It is slightly acidic and great for mineral deposits but it remains very safe!
As per CarPro’s own directions, it’s not for use for regular washes. Reset is better for weekly washes. Descale is a specialty shampoo to strip older waxes, remove mineral deposits from water spots, etc.
I used Adams graphene shampoo twice. I can vouch for it, it doesn't add anything to the hydrophobics. In fact, I think it slightly takes away from it :(
It’s mean for true ceramic/Graphene coatings to refresh them in a fashion like Carpro Reset
I've used CP Reset exclusively on my coated vehicles but wasn't satisfied with the hydrophobics after a wash. I went to BH Auto foam, then CP Descale foam, and lastly Descale hand wash and the results were very good. I may substitute Reset for the hand wash after Auto Foam and Descale foaming to see how that goes.
Great video. Just a idea with comparing price. Would be better to give price per wash rather than price per once.
Omg! I'm still using Chemical Guys.
I can't wait to watch these results.!
I definitely need to try the cucumber melon scented soap now, GSF that cherry scent is divine. I like the diy detail incredible suds lately its been very good. I use it with clay if needed, its just incredible. Bilt hammer is another fantastic brand, carpro there's so much innovation happening
Thanks for sharing
Personally I love Ethos Ceramic Shampoo and Ethos Cleanse, best of both worlds suds and protection
