The Chemical Guys Cleaning Guide (Rewritten the Right Way)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this guide better than what Chemical Guys offers?

Yes. It’s structured, teaches actual techniques, and links you to relevant tools—where theirs are scattered and vague.

What’s the best all-around product to start with?

Complete Cabin Cleaner and The Super Soaper cover interior and exterior and form the foundation of your car care system.

Do I need to do all of this at once?

Nope. Pick the section that matters most to you and knock it out step-by-step.

What makes Jimbo’s Detailing different?

Real results, transparent labeling, and no hype. Every product is built with pro detailers in mind—but easy enough for first-timers to use without screwing anything up.
