Foam Cannon Washing
Chemical Guys Mr. Pink is formulated to create dense foam when used with compatible foam cannon equipment.
The foam helps loosen surface contamination before contact washing and provides lubrication during the cleaning process.
Foam Blaster Washing
For drivers without a pressure washer, Mr. Pink can also be used with compatible garden hose foam blasters.
Traditional Bucket Washing
Mr. Pink is equally suitable for conventional hand washing using a bucket, grit guard, and microfiber wash mitt.
Its sudsing formula helps keep the wash solution lubricated as you move around the vehicle.
