May just buy this soon! Getting a blog up and will share the results if they’re as good as this!

[@IamDetailedAF]

All this time I thought I needed ChemX. I have now found out... I needed a big red truck. Thanks Jamie! ChemX FTW!

Every time I see Chem X I'm like wow that's impressive. Plus the products look super fun to use! Dope video man

[@JhawkerZ]

I may dilute Old Glory a little more. 4-1 is really good and strong. You can get away less. I've done 4 vehicles at this point and have not been disappointed. 💪 🔥

[@JamieTheCleaner]

Yeah ima try 10:1 next

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Great video Jamie glad to see you working on vehicles!! Thanks!!

I use paint brushes to apply the vinyl and rubber dressings and let it sit until I have all of the areas done then walk around with the cloth to wipe it down. I have learned how to use just enough to leave enough dressing with the brush that I don't over apply on the tires. I don't lose much product to the towel and the brushes don't leave behind the dry spots or wet spots a applicator or towels do. I have my Truck and wheels coated and with Snake Oil on them any following wash is amazing. Wheels are the worse but coated and snake oil as a topper the effect of the soaps and pressure washer (Turbo Tip) on following washes are amazingly good. I have Snake Oil in a sprayer and reapply after each wash on the Wheels because I drive through some nasty road offerings from a concrete company and the powders they have show up ugly on the black wheels but is trapped in the snake oil. I use Maguires Gold Class for maintenance washes for a very long time but I used Stars and Stripes in the spring and fall just for this past summer and fall for the first time and was impressed. I have yet to try the Old Glory. I am slow to change especially after just starting using ChemX.

All of those bottles came out of that box. It was like watching a clown car, it just kept going and going. I love the channel, especially when trucks are shown.

[@JamieTheCleaner]

They were jammed in there all safe and sound 🎉

[@joevanseeters2873]

Chem-X has some innovative products. I like the consistency of that spray polish and with the size of that bottle, it will last some people a lifetime!

[@svt03-s3s]

old glory is also going to be one hell of a pre wash!!

[@debtennis1301]

Finally on the Chem-X train!! Love Stars and Stripes but Old Glory is a great one step Touchless!! All the Chem-X goodies!!! Can't wait for them to hit the House!!

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@debtennis1301 🚂 Tell Bob I’m onboard!

[@FredShramovich]

Great product breakdown, I might need to order some Bandit Blue for all of my aluminum to see how it works!

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@FredShramovich it’s real nice Fred, they also have an aluminum cleaner called m shine

[@JhawkerZ]

M-Shine is really good. Just don't get too heavy handed. ,1-10 cleans aluminum really well.

[@SoCleenDetailing]

Ol' red looking sharp! Great video Jamie!

Good upgrade to the pocket 3 camera. That thing is amazing. I've been imoressed with every Chem X product I've tried so far.

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@TheOutdoorDetailer yeah amazing camera 💯

[@NitramAutoDetailing]

Ils ont vraiment de très bons produits, et surtout quand tu laves un gros camion comme un Peterbiilt… ca sauve bcp de temps et ca lave très bien

[@davidnuxoll7074]

Haven’t seen “bed red” for a while remembered the P&S off road product line video

[@WolfAbarth]

Your own personal Jamie

[@rosmarin2438]

Stars and Stripes FTW

[@BryanRushing]

How does this compare to the Stars and Stripes? 1 step vs 2, 1 product vs 2…same cleaning quality? Safer on coatings or sealants?

[@jfarm_1311]

Solid stuff

[@NitramAutoDetailing]

Ma question est… Tu as mis Snake Oil partout sur le camion.. peinture moulures plastiques etc… Après tu applique le Trim & tire dressing… Pourtant avant de mettre un dressing, je dégraisse et lave toujours mes moulures de plastiques… Est ce qu’il le conseil pour le tire & trim..? Car rajouter le dressing par dessus un sio.. ca doit pas rester longtemps… Merci pour tes videos..! Continue lache pas 😊💪🏼👍🏼

[@CleanerCars]

I’m skeptical Old glory’s main ingredient is caustic soda. With how much it’s browning tires.. I’m wondering what it’ll do to plastics and seals over time.

[@hjholmes]

I had the same thought, and this is the main reason that I have been hesitant about purchasing Old Glory. There is no way that eventually it doesn't start eating away at the trim, clear coat, rubber, plastics, etc. I'm guessing that diluting it down would help substantially, but even then it is probably going to eventually start doing some damage. I would imagine that Stars & Stripes is probably safer, even though Stripes uses caustic soda, as well. At least it is balanced out by the sulfamic acid in Stars.

[@JamieTheCleaner]

Definitely it’s a hammer 🔨

[@DrivewayDetailswithBecca]

Before this video I didn’t know about old glory. Chem X has more than one touchless wash. Pretty exciting.

[@JamieTheCleaner]

So good! 💯✊🏼

[@BelLavoroAutoSpa]

Something about snake oil has changed, used to be opaque but now it's clear... wonder what Bob has been up to

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@BelLavoroAutoSpa yeah I think over the last 6 months or so he has made some tweaks to everything and I think 2025 Bob is ready to take Chem-X to the next level

[@Okie-Tom]

Nice video Jamie! I do have a couple of questions. First, how would Old Glory work to was my black SUV every couple of weeks. I lice in a dirt road and always have some dirt and sometimes mud in it? Second, the rubber dressing. Does it dry completely and not attract dirt? I tried another parts house brand of tire dressing and it didn’t dry! One trip down my dirt road and my tires and trim was covered with dust and dirt! Not happy about that. I think Armour’s and Pan’s dressing is supposed to dry and not attract dust at all. I appreciate your thoughts! Tom

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@Okie-Tom this one would probably attract dust, I would stick with what you have and diluted Old Glory 10:1-20-1 would work great every 2 weeks

[@johncolossians3104]

Products name?

[@jackmathesius6746]

I have personally used snake oil, tire and trim ,heavy duty and there foam soap and I really like all of them but I would recommend diluting the snake oil more to 10:1 or15:1 because for $70 its not a cheap chemical but I have personally used it 10:1 in my foam cannon and I still get great results then for the foam soap 8:1 or 10:1 and if you could try the old glory at 10:1 and it still works good for you then just run it at 10:1 save yourself some money and if you ever get there heavy duty soap run it anywhere from 10:1 to 20:1 on tires BUT it seems to work way BETTER when in a foaming pump sprayer then a traditional spray bottle. but great video love to see more people trying @ChemX

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@jackmathesius6746 good tips!

[@brandonnguyen1486]

Wouldn't ole blue be bad or possibly degrade a consumer grade ceramic graphene coating?

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@brandonnguyen1486 no shouldn’t effect any ceramic coating

[@DrivewayDetailswithBecca]

Truck looks awesome!

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@DrivewayDetailswithBecca thanks Becca 💯

[@wyattengland3221]

Why do you use Distilled water in your foam cannon and when mixing chemicals does it affect performance?

[@JamieTheCleaner]

@@wyattengland3221 for foam cannons just mix with regular water I just had it out and it was just easier to pour with the jug than the hose. If your storing products in a 5 gallon container or 32oz bottle distilled water is the way to go so the chemical last longer and stable with out the risk of mineral contamination from tap water

[@austinnydam9927]

It’s such a waste of money. Just do the math. 1 32oz bottle of snake oil and you can do it roughly 5 maybe 6 vehicles. At $70/bottle that’s almost $12 each application to a vehicle. Idk about you but there are FAR better and cheaper options of protection that a diluted down foam on application

[@TannerBobbitt]

I would strongly encourage you to use the Griot's Garage metering tips! Chem-X suggests a p.i.r. of 100:1. The metering tips will allow you to do 3x the amount of vehicles. Thus, bringing the cost way down.

[@muffin70507]

​@@TannerBobbitt now you have blown my mind

[@DrivewayDetailswithBecca]

It’s only a waste if it doesn’t work or doesn’t get used. Results speak for themselves. Use what works and what you enjoy!
