Default Pinnacle XMT Gel Shampoo & Conditioner Review

I was one of the lucky winners selected to receive the Pinnacle XMT Gel Shampoo/Conditioner. Thank you Pinnacle and our outstanding forum moderators, you guys are AWSOME!


Here is my review of the product:

I put 3 ounces of the product into my foam gun and added about 10 ounces of distilled water (I also had another car to wash). I gave it a good shake and proceeded to spray my car down after I did an initial water rinse off. As you can see in the second photograph, the shampoo did not foam up like others I have used (Maguire's Gold and Duragloss 901) but it definitely clung onto the paint work well. After washing, the sun was starting to hit the car so I sprayed it down again with the soap. I then rinsed it off and pulled into the garage. I used my EgoPower Plus cordless blower to remove 90% of the water and the wipe down of the remainder was effortless.

This is a great product, it worked well and is extremely concentrated. I attached a few photographs along with a shot of my hood to show some crazy reflections.


Thanks again Pinnacle!

Thank you for the honest review! Glad you liked it and thank you for the great pictures. The hood reflection shot looks absolutely amazing by the way. Very glossy

Was my mixing ratio correct for the foam gun?

Mixing ratio seems good. I would check your foam gun settings and play around with that. Some shampoos foam up better in foam guns more than others. Try it in a bucket as well, it will foam up very thick. Thanks
