Great video! 🍻

[@ChemX]

Thanks! Yeah I have a LOT of customers who use them on SiC coatings and have never had an issue, I've hit a bunch myself too and even on a data sheet level the pH tolerances on the SiC coatings I've researched are beyond the Stars+Stripes formulas, it def helps the touchless soaps work better tho

If you start from the bottom to the top it’s so you have a lower chance of missing spots from all the soap running off and loosing track

Will these products work on car paint with sun-tanned lotion fingerprints? If not, do you have a product that does?

[@ChunkyBoyD]

When will the new formula start shipping? And will it do the whole 5 gallon pail or still just the 4 gallons like before? I need to order some soon and I’d like to wait for the new formula if possible. Love to be a tester also if you need it.

[@ChemX]

I’m hoping to have everything final by mid summer. There will also be a new liquid version with a really cool feature that will even stand out over the powder must likely. We found that the process of evaporating down to powder refined the ingredients tho which is probably what led to the thicker foam and potentially a performance boost, so I’m hoping to be able to create 5ga of 25:1 ready to use soaps out of the 16oz jars of powder. Reach out at [e-mail] I’ll def need testers😁

[@cobykircher3438]

When will the new powder be available? I ordered a gallon of each Stars and Stripes, but didn’t plan on ordering again due to my stripes just being basically water lol.

[@ChemX]

So I’ve got to make sure the results are keeping up with the current liquid blends, and also make sure that it can stay stable over a long period of time once it’s mixed this way, normally they are blended when the liquid version is made. The sds still has to be authored, it should be very similar but the new form factor will need an update and certainly a new packing group for shipping. The label is looking cool but can’t finish that until the sds is done, and then I have to finalize my new label material and get proofs, usually two runs of proofs are needed if the material or colors aren’t quite right, and then we can go to print, we will also need to make an updated label for the 5ga pails the powder is mixed into. I have the final jar for them selected but still need to source the final cap and seal style, and then we can start bottling the powders. Then we need to design the product page and graphics and product shots. I’ll also need to figure out our total cost per unit and figure out how to offer them the best price point. We’ve got a bit of work to do still lol

high pressure water does 99% of the work. the rest is there to give you the illusion that something special is happening lol. you could put dawn dish soap in there and you'd get the same result. but i'm glad people are so easily amused and swayed, it makes selling to them much easier. That's how i make my living, i take base normal everyday stuff, repackage it with great art work and claims that have no basis and oh how the money rolls in.

[@ChemX]

[@jonnywilson9117]

Hi pressure water does not do 99% of the work with everything else giving people the illusion something special is happening. If that were the case, this guy wouldn't sell anything for long. You must think everyone that watches these videos are retards and easily fooled. Don't get me wrong, some viewers will be as there's people that can't make it past figuring out how to purchase what he sells. If high pressure did 99% of the work, then surely when I've used a pressure washer, it'd do around 85%. But it most certainly does not. Like many others, I've tried. There's even video proof that high pressure and high flow rate, just isn't enough to get things clean. But the fucking audacity. "i take base normal everyday stuff, repackage it with great art work and claims that have no basis and oh how the money rolls in." To claim this guy scams people like you do. Claims that have no basis? So because you lie to and deceive in order to make money, you assume others, including this guy are doing the same. It's not difficult, all you have to do is do a small bit of research. All the videos are there. I'm pretty certain there's even a comparison between just the high pressure cold water and then stars & stripes. It's funny you mentioned claims that have no basis. But with just water, the finish is about 70% still dirty and looks horrendous. I sense a large amount of jealousy in your comment. This guy's doing far better than you and you hate it. Try and be an honest person. You'll feel better about yourself, and you won't assume others are scamming their customers like yourself. You can't live an honest, respectful life, proud of what you've accomplished if you lie to people in order to make money. And let's not be window lickers here, dawn dish soap isn't the holy grail. It can't clean everything out there. If it could, I think everyone would be using it in their pressure washers at this point. I have no more words for the cuntishness I got from your comment. I definitely wouldn't feel like ending it if I were around you for a couple of minutes. Definitely not.

[@jonnywilson9117]

Also, you must think that everyone at home has a 2400+psi @ 3.5gpm pressure washer. They don't. The majority of people don't have 7k pressure washing setups. Mine for example. I'm not American, but it's better than the British ones available. I have a Wilks USA, 2400psi at around 1gpm. So how dumb are you on a scale of 1-10?
