District Manager

Who We are:

Chemical Guys is more than a brand. It's a lifestyle with a worldwide following driven by adventure, a passion for shine, and a love for the road ahead. We welcome Any and All who share this passion to become part of our CG Family.

When we started, we decided to wipe the slate clean and begin fresh with the simple idea to make the best quality auto-detailing chemicals manufactured right here in California to the highest quality standards. Over the years, we have grown into so much more: a huge library of detailing knowledge, a benchmark in the industry, and a group of friends with one common passion.

Today, Chemical Guys has become a true omnichannel leader in the automotive appearance industry with a massive social media following and product distribution around the world. But this is still just the beginning. We want to win in the long run, drive innovation, and refine the industry while having fun along with you. So, grab a wash mitt, some soap, put that great smile on your face, and don't look back... it's going to be an unforgettable ride!
