My Opinion of P&S Pearl Auto Shampoo | Product Review

[@Dee--Jay]

This is a different style of video. You should keep it up with other shampoos, cleaners, degreasers or just all kinda detailing products in terms of dissecting them. You were creative. You have my support from here on out

[@CardosCarDose]

Thank you so much! This is my second product review for the channel and I have been experimenting with different recording styles, so it seems a little foreign even for me 😂 for sure! I do have plenty of items to review here for you guys! Appreciate the feedback! 😎👉👉

[@JRMSS4]

Awesome video with in-depth data to back it. Keep up the great videos, very impressive!

[@CardosCarDose]

Much thanks for the response! Appreciate the feedback champ! 😎👉👉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely always trying to provide a source for my research 🔬 📝

[@annagraham6204]

Legit review. Pearl foams like the cannon is filled with flat bud light. For the most part P&S has value and is backed by many youtubers so it gets a trendy factor despite being around since the 60s.

[@CardosCarDose]

Its not bad but not "great" either. I try to avoid hype in the community since that blurs are judgment. Hence why Im brutally honest with my constructive criticism. 🤔

[@Bobbe1994]

GREAT video, very informative, and like the in-depth review of Pearl! Would love to watch a similar video on Kcx GSF

@@CardosCarDose thanks man!! 👌 Great informative content as always

[@jayhoughton558]

You say it streaks in the sun (especially when it dries) which is mainly residue isn’t it? I bet if you went over it with a wash mitt and rinsed it would take care of that residue/streaking. It’s a pretty good soap and great value as you mentioned. I enjoyed the thorough testing you did. Excellent video.

[@CardosCarDose]

My bad, I should rephrase my terminology 😂 yes! This is technically residue, if you follow the traditional wash this can definitely be removed with a simple rinse because the water activates the chemical. and thank you for the feedback! Really appreciate it 😎👉👉

[@AlexDetails]

Love this video and your style!!! Question - where can I find a drive canopy that can fit a whole Escalade? That thing is awesome, I want one.

[@CardosCarDose]

Thanks for the feedback Alex 😎🤙 Unfortunately this set shown here was a cheap brand and broke early in its lifespan 😂 I got a new set in my earlier videos, but they are still in the testing phase. I wouldn't want to recommend a bad product ya know? 🤔 I will make a review later

[@marshallwhite3780]

Definitely agree with your review, it's a great value for what you're getting. I use it for maintenance washes primarily because of its lubricity and pH balance, I've never used it for rinseless washes but you've convinced me not to😂

[@CardosCarDose]

Thank you for the feedback Marshall! 😎👉👉 Glad you enjoyed the video! How often do you wash your car?

[@marshallwhite3780]

@@CardosCarDose I live in Texas, so it only needs a wash once a month with the weather permitting. Between that and a Fusso coat 1-2 times a year, it holds up really nicely.

[@CardosCarDose]

Nice! Need to get my hands on the Fusso wax, been hearing good things about it! 👀

[@williamimperatore5212]

Great video! Thanx for sharing it! Question: I’m a mobile detailer, what kind of DI water do u recommend?

[@CardosCarDose]

Whats good William! 😎 DI water has a bit of terminology, so I will elaborate on that. If you source your water elsewhere, for example a detail shop, DI water is often referred to as "spot free water, di ionized water, distilled water." If you use water at home like i do, find a company that can let you rent a DI filter so you interchange them when done. This will mostly depend on where you live so do some research on your area. What kind of DI water do I recommend? I would suggest using water that is between 0-2ppm, you can find this using TDS Meter as shown in my video. Anything above 2 it will spot to some extent, so be careful if you are sourcing your water elsewhere. If your at home you'll likely get a couple hundred gallons of 0ppm water. Of course do some research before jumping on board 😎👉👉 Hopefully this answers your question! 😉

this was the first video of your channel ive seen & it was fantastic! I love all the tests & scenarios that you ran Pearl through. I also like how you show no brand favoritism. Great work & you earned a new sub.

Many thanks for the sub and welcome aboard to the Car Dose Community! 😎👉👉 transparency is the main goal for my channel, it's not to talk down a product, but to understand what I like you would have to know what I don't like ☝️ and hopefully the brands take my feedback from a constructive point of view 🤔 thank you for your kind words!

@@CardosCarDose Right now I'm working my way through Xtreme Solutions Xtreme Suds for general washing. I use KC GSF for ceramic coated cars.

[@CardosCarDose]

Nice options! 👀 I havent tried Xtreme Suds, probs gonna have to order one and check it out 🤔

[@ddautodetailing]

@@CardosCarDose I enjoy using it. I've even tried the whole no rinse before foaming with it and did find it seemed to break down more dirt before a contact wash.

[@CardosCarDose]

Sounds like a good pre-wash! Do you use it in every application or is it just one product of many in your arsenal?

[@masterpolir6145]

Which car schampoo would you prefer for ceramic coated surface and waxes surfaces? Would you recommend one schampoo for me?

[@CardosCarDose]

Unfortunately I cant recommend "one" because there is no soap that is "obsolete" However, I think as long as its pH balanced for a Pre Wash, and Neutral for the contact wash, you should be good 😎 (I fancy KCX GSF, Gyeon Bathe, and Shine Supply Shift) 🧼

[@nachomandetailingservices1057]

If you want to make it stronger add some APC to it. Make you a striping wash.

[@CardosCarDose]

True true, but I already have a dedicated soap for that. while that would be a good DIY strip wash solution, there needs to be thorough research on which chemical can mix with soap, because not all chemicals were designed to be home brewed. (not sun friendly APC vs pH Neutral Soap vs Caustic alkaline chemical reaction) I am testing out some APCs, mixing with soap, and I think the risk is a bit too high 😭 I will probably elaborate on that in a different video.

[@gtiguy1992able]

Foam might be light but it’s super lubricated, it’s good for the price 80 bucks for 5 gallons is a steal compare to anything like chemical guys trash

[@CardosCarDose]

trust! Pearl is not a bad soap, considering the unrivaled value that it provides. if anything, I think this is better than the entire chemical guys lineup. 😂

Can you provide information on the tent structure you are using. Florida weather is very hot. Ty

[@CardosCarDose]

i'll check it out once I clear my inventory, I have way too many soaps to be testing 😂

[@takeovaLA]

@@CardosCarDose it’s a really high foaming soap and cleans really good before even doing a contact wash would like to see the ph testing

[@spydermonkey2127]

Your dilution ratio is incorrect. Should have been 15 oz of water if you're rounding. 16:1 should be .9 oz of product. Even if you're rounding, it made 17 oz total.

[@CardosCarDose]

On my slickness test it is the correct quantity, I know sometimes ratio numbers can be misinterpreted for a different serving, but this is correct. 16:1 is also said as "16 parts water and 1 part Solution." Same thing can be said for other ratios.

[@clintsaines9274]

Seems like you need more of this product to get the job done

[@CardosCarDose]

If you follow the instructions you can get good results, but if foam is the objective, then yeah you need a LOT of product to make it work 🤷‍♂️

[@clintsaines9274]

@@CardosCarDose ok thanks

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

I see that chemical guys CWAG I used to like that soap but I’ve moved away from the brand still i enjoyed that soap and mr.pink I now have a gallon of adams car shampoo I LOVE it. I wash at peak sun hours because unfortunately that’s the only free time I get and it’s amazing foams up well good lubricant but the main thing is I can rinse the dried residue off no problem

[@CardosCarDose]

Good eye champ 👀 I use CWAG mostly as a deep cleaner when I want to remove an old wax or use in a decontamination wash. Love the lemony scent 🤤 Thanks for sharing your feedback! 😎What new brand you into now?

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

That was my exact thoight process for CWAG I might just pick up a 16oz for fun. As for brands I don’t have just 1 my arsenal is a mix of p&s adams griots garage turtle wax Jay Leno and maguires. I’m trying to finish up my current stock to place a big order around Christmas to try new things. I might try some more premium brands like carpro gtechnic koch chemie etc and some tools too like detail factory and work stuff

[@CardosCarDose]

For sure you won't be disappointed with those brands! And who knows, maybe new stuff will appear around that time!

Ya know Chris, I can respect that opinion! 🫡 Thanks for the feedback 😎👉👉What kind of brands are you into?

[@chrisryan8894]

@@CardosCarDose well I’m just a “enthusiast” myself. Not doing it as my full time job, and have no where near the knowledge and experience you have, but my preferred shampoo is either gyeon bathe or Adam’s mega foam in the cannon or just the car shampoo for the bucket. They both do really well for me. In all honesty I have a few other P&S products and am not as satisfied with them overall. Their APC , and interior cleaners I have are okay, but seems like they are a better value than better quality kind of product.

[@CardosCarDose]

OOOOO Gyeon Bathe is the stuff! 👀 Love that soap and arguably the best smelling one 😂 i'm guessing similar to Meguiars, P&S is business focused so you are gonna get more bang for buck than performance. Not bad, but not "great" either. Gonna have to showcase more Gyeon on my channel been digging the brand lately 😎🔥

[@annagraham6204]

@@chrisryan8894 Totally agree. When I started getting into this a year ago P&S seemed promoted as a top tier brand the way big channels pushed it. Especially Bead Maker. Pan the advertiser nearly creamed his pants in the rag company vid. It’s average at best. Pearl foams like horse wiz and flat beer out of a cannon. For $20 bucks a gallon a bucket wash and surprisingly out of an IK it’s pretty good.
