The Super Soaper vs Chemical Guys Mr. Pink – Which Wash Soap Is Safer?
Both The Super Soaper and Mr. Pink are popular foaming wash soaps. But which one really delivers the safest wash for your paint—while still giving you great foam and slickness? We put them head-to-head.
Best Alternative to Mr. Pink
The Super Soaper offers safer lubrication, denser foam, and better rinsing—without gimmicks.
Product Overview
| The Super Soaper | Mr. Pink | |
|---|---|---|
| Foam Quality | Dense, clinging foam | Light-medium foam, fast collapse |
| Lubrication | High—less chance of swirls | Medium—can feel grabby |
| Residue | Rinses clean, no film | Can leave light residue or film |
| Use Cases | Foam cannon, pump sprayer, bucket wash | Primarily bucket wash |
Foam & Lubrication
Mr. Pink produces fun foam but lacks the slickness needed for truly safe washing. The Super Soaper creates thicker, more stable foam and provides higher lubrication, letting your towel glide with less drag. This difference alone helps prevent swirls and micro-scratches.
Paint Safety
The biggest difference? The Super Soaper is tuned for semi-touchless washing. That means you can pre-soak, foam, and rinse off much of the grime before ever touching the paint. Mr. Pink, by contrast, was built for old-school bucket washing, which puts more risk on your clear coat.
Rinse & Residue
Super Soaper rinses off clean and streak-free, preserving the performance of ceramic sprays and coatings. Mr. Pink can leave behind a light film that dulls hydrophobic behavior and gloss until it’s stripped away.
Cost Per Wash
Mr. Pink is often sold in larger bottles, but requires more product per wash to achieve decent results. The Super Soaper’s formula is more concentrated, meaning you get more washes per ounce—even with foam cannon use.
