Chemical Guys in the beginning
Chemical guys started out as a relative small company, with the desire to enrich the world of automotive detailing with proper products for a very competitive price. America was a wide landscape with many possibilities. After many years and many new products added to the range, they eventually reached Europe and even Asia. Their efforts resulted in a company that has a very wide variety of products that are being sold in over 50 countries around the world.
Chemical Guys was initially founded by Paul Schneider and David Knotek with a smaller roll on the side by Dan Schneider (creator of Detail Garage Inc. and Advanced Auto Detailing). The guys became known as “The Chemical Guys” when they showed up at shows with their stand of detailing products. The name stuck, and they decided to chance their name to Chemical Guys.
The range of products
Although Chemical Guys started out fairly small, their range today counts many different products. They carry a wide variety of products that include: wax, sealant, cleaners, shampoo, polish, pre-wax cleaners, APC, leather protection/cleaners, polish machines, polish pads, snowfoam, MF towels, air fresheners and much more. The American based company offers direct service from the factory. Meaning you can get your products directly from the production floor. No delay, no old stock.
There is also a European division that handles all the shipping and selling in Europe.
