Stars and Stripes works AWESOME on wheels and tires. Yes, it's exciting to see how quickly you can foam-foam-rinse, but if you take a bit more time and foam into the wheels and fenders, you get the same results as you do with the paint. I am impressed every time that I use this system on wheels that have been neglected. It's cool to see stained and darkened alloys come back to life, shining bright with clean tires. Another note... if you get to the results that Pan showed, using a drying aid / quick detailer is definitely a safe way to get that final 5%. Yes, it's a bit risky, but taking an extra couple of minutes to foam-foam-rinse every surface completely, then following up with Ceramic Gloss or Amplify or Awesome Sauce with your drying towel gets it to 100%.

[@ChemX]

That's great input Jason yeah I like to use the Awesome Sauce SiO2 for that last 5% it is definitely a great solution to get all the way there. I think you might have a good point on the dwell time for wheels, I generally also get right to rinsing myself but I bet that could help

I came across their website a few weeks ago and still have the tab open on this pc for further research. As with anything I like to research it well. Lo and behold this popped up in my KZbin. I have a one year old Chevrolet trailboss that’s my daily driver here in Maine. It is quite a bit to wash and dry once a week. It’s a big truck. Your video just answered all my questions and the results spoke for themselves. Not only is this a time saver even more important to me it’s touch-less so I won’t be introducing scratches however so minimal. I think this once a week and then a more in-depth once a month or so may be a good regimen for me. Thanks so much. I gotta try it.

[@jamierodriguez4562]

Great video Pan! Im just a bit confused with the nozzle attachment. I was expecting both the foam cannons to fire at the same time. Instead it still just fires one at a time. Couldn’t you just swap out each cannon like normal and cut the extra weight and bulk?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You certainly could just swap foam cannons. It’s just a cool things to have the splitter if you are doing big rigs and RVs (which is Bob’s normal business) as you don’t waste any time going all the way back to your work bench to get the other foam cannon. Thanks for watching!

Hey Pan. I'm a big fan of your videos. I would love to see you do a blind product test. You could do a blind test of tire cleaners - for instance - using 4 different products one for each tire. Have someone put the 4 products in opaque bottles so that you can't see what is inside, have them/you apply them and then you judge the results. It is natural to be biased to your favorite products so this test would be interesting to see how a new product stands up against what you currently prefer. I think it would be exciting to see the test results. Another great video BTW!

My goto for big trucks for 2 years now. It’s very difficult to make “contact” with surfaces 13’3” tall with consistency. I highly recommend Stars and Stripes for enclosed trailers and rv’s.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Great review and looks like a solid product as you stated I trust Eddie’s opinion. My only thing would be at 4:1 if my math is correct we are close to $5 a wash if you buy a gallon of each. So maybe not something I would use every time, but when I just need a quick foam and rinse. For me 10% dirty is still dirty so I would contact wash just out of my OCD. Properly coated and maintained you probably will get even higher than 90% clean. Also, if you already have multiple foam cannons is there an easy calculation of product based on our foam cannons dilution output? I would say for sure if you dry with a towel after going Touchless you for sure need a lubricating drying aide.

[@ChemX]

When I do this on a car myself I use about 1/4 of a foam cannon, at 4:1 into the cannons you would get about 80 washes out of a gallon each at roughly $1.25 per wash. However 4:1 is just a starting point and something aimed at handling much dirtier vehicles, I think Pan could have gotten similar results at 8:1 which would cut cost further to about $.70. I think a drying towel along with a spray detailer at the end is helpful as well and def takes it much further to do some touch ups at the same time as drying the vehicle

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@ChemX Thanks so much for the great information!

[@regsands]

Looks great. I think I would use it as a prewash before a touch less wash as the touch less adds lubricants to the drying process to a towel dry.

Well, maybe not. I add this for thought though! If you can get 95-97% clean without touching it, nothing will be any better. All the TOUCH washes gather all that dirt in your mitt, which risks scratching no matter WHAT YOU USE. anytime you touch paint, it scratches, plain & simple. Anyway, I get ZERO dirt on a towel after using S/S.

I get 8-10 truck washes out of it, for my crew cab long bed f-450 for reference. I ended up buying the silencer kit and mounted it all to my big pressure washer, it’s awesome. I found the most tedious/time consuming part to be filling the foam cannons, I gotta fill em twice if I have a trailer I’m washing too. The inline injector kit makes it as easy as flipping a switch.

[@JaySondiero]

Great branding and idea. Pan, Have you made a video on exterior steam cleaning/washing on a vehicle? If not, how would you do it and what is your overall recommendation on this? Keep up the work with these quality videos👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I never used steam to wash a car.

[@salvadorperezHTX]

I used that before it works good!! Also snake oil I use it every two months for protection! Recommend those products 100%!!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have yet to use the Stars and Stripes but i have used the Liquid-X mit wash and M-Shine for my polished wheels and i lreally like both.

[@Hossfly61]

@@bigmurph68 dude try it even if you just buy the 32 oz bottle it is amazing stuff i was skeptical at first but it works and if i miss or just doesnt clean something i come back with awesome sauce and it gone thats a drying aid and quick shine also from chem-x

[@bigmurph68]

@@Hossfly61 I’ll prob buy some next sale to use in the winter time…

[@ChemX]

Glad you like the Liquid-X and M-shine those are always a good solution to get all the way there

[@bjimsondetailing]

the job was awesome I think the reason you have some dirt on the wheel is that you didn't thoroughly spray the wheel and the wheel barrow well .i give the test a 90℅ well done pan

[@AnthonyP-n1p]

Hey Pan, love all your videos they are very informative.. can you please tell me if stars & stripes strip off coatings ?

[@ChemX]

In my experience it has no bad effects on SiO2 and SiC coatings even with frequent use over long periods of time

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I spoke about it in the video ;) but no according to Bob it should be ok with most coatings.

[@deanwinchester119]

Thats amazing results. Basically now just scrub the wheels good then spray car down with that. Sux it kills carnuba wax for guys that live to use Griots 3 n 1 spray wax. But the time saved not having to wash it saves time for putting a freah coat back on. Not bad at all!!

[@pabloaranda6346]

Hey Pan, I recently have been seeing a move towards industrial content by influencers. As a new detailer I am wondering if you were going to continue reviewing products like Chem-X or the industrial ceramic coating C6 is coming out with as they focus on semi-trucks and I know many other viewers would agree that your opinion would be valuable!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It depends on what viewers want. My audience isn’t geared towards the industrial side. That’s perhaps way to niche for this channel. Perhaps a channel that focuses more on agricultural or industrial stuff would be more appropriate.

[@pabloaranda6346]

@@PanTheOrganizer Pan first thanks for the reply. Second, have you heard of Evan Stegar? If not check his videos out as I would love some of your input especially on metal polishing if you haven’t already reviewed any products or made a video on that. It might be something you’ll notice doesn’t have many creators or videos on.

[@OpticDetailingKY]

Absolutely love this stuff!

[@davidgeroge9330]

Interesting new perspective, similar to some of the high end diy wash bays. You forgot your wheel hose guides.

[@lkj12345]

Hi Pan, can you review pronano? Seems to have the same concept as Chem x. Thank you

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If I get enough viewer requests for it, I’ll look into it.

[@johng241]

can't lie, the POV camera made me motion sick. I prefer the old way. However, still love ya and thank you for all you do.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

[@themafterchief]

I'm wondering how well this methodology (of double foaming and close double rinsing) would work with 2-pH soap systems from other companies like CARPRO (with Descale & Lift), Koch Chemie (Rs & Af), or even Bilt Hamber if they also have a 2-pH system? 🤔

[@Brettmclean87]

We need these chem X products in the UK they look amazing. Especially snake oil.

[@ChemX]

I'm working on a relay point in Sweden hopefully that will be in place soon

[@Brettmclean87]

@@ChemX that would be amazing. Your products will wipe out everything else on the market!

I’d like to see this tested on a car in middle of Montreal winter to see how much of the winter grime it can get off. Could be great quick wash solution for us Canadians in the winter if we just want a quick easy wash. Safe on PPF?

[@LargeCarTruckSpa]

Yes it’s safe on PPF and we have lots of it available in Canada 🇨🇦 Check out the link in the description

[@ChemX]

I'd love to see Pan tackle something really rough, these soaps can handle a lot more lol. No issues on PPF over the last 5 years

[@chrism1157]

I won Stars and Stripes on EC Details Patreon. I haven't tried it yet but looking forward to giving it a try.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Have fun!

[@robertthiele1291]

There stuff is awesome i use everthing they make on my peterbilt cars boat. the snake oil is crazy good

[@ChemX]

Thanks Robert I appreciate that!

[@lemony_]

Is it possible to clean a very dirty car with these two products? Like a endurance test to find the limits.
