Chemical Guys vs. Jimbo’s Detailing: Which Foam Cannon Soap Works Better?
If you're looking for the best foam cannon soap, chances are you've seen Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam all over the place. But does the hype match the performance? We put it head-to-head with The Super Soaper from Jimbo’s Detailing to find out which product actually delivers better foam and cleaning power in real-world conditions.
Foam Thickness Test
We ran both soaps through the same foam cannon setup using a 2000 PSI pressure washer. The results were clear:
- Chemical Guys: Produced decent foam, but it ran off quickly and felt watery
- Jimbo’s The Super Soaper: Created thick, shaving-cream-style foam that clung for minutes
Winner: The Super Soaper by a landslide
Cleaning Power Comparison
We tested both soaps on cars with typical grime, road film, and bug splatter. Neither product was agitated—just foamed and rinsed to test touchless performance.
- Chemical Guys: Removed loose dirt but struggled with film and bugs
- Jimbo’s: Broke down more film and visibly lifted bugs—even without brushing
Winner: The Super Soaper again
Value for Money
Let’s talk cost-per-wash:
- Chemical Guys: Requires 2–3 ounces per use for decent foam
- Jimbo’s Super Soaper: Works well with as little as 1.5 ounces—stretching your dollar further
When used weekly, that adds up to dozens more washes per bottle.
Pro Tip
Want even better results? Apply The Super Soaper as a pre-soak, let it dwell for 2–5 minutes, then rinse. Follow with a contact wash using the Orange Wash Microfiber Towel for a scratch-free finish.
Final Verdict
Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam is popular—but when tested against Jimbo’s The Super Soaper, it just doesn’t hold up. From foam quality and cleaning performance to cost-effectiveness, The Super Soaper is the smarter choice for detailers who want pro-level results without the hype.
