Maxima SC1 High Gloss Coating + Tough Mudder Foaming Wash

In this review of the Maxima 78920-2PK SC1 High Gloss Coating paired with Chemical Guys Tough Mudder Foaming Wash, the bottom line is simple: this combo is for riders and off-road owners who want easy cleanup and a lasting factory-like shine. The kit combines a water resistant, quick-drying high gloss coating formulated for plastics and fiberglass with a concentrated foaming wash that lifts mud and grime, making post-ride maintenance faster and less labor intensive for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and similar powersports vehicles.

Key Features

• High gloss protection: The SC1 formula leaves a dry, long lasting luster on plastic, fiberglass and painted surfaces so panels look restored and less prone to dulling.
• Water resistant finish: SC1 is specifically formulated for powersports and resists water, which helps shed mud and prevents dirt from sticking between rides.
• Easy cleanup: Applied to fenders and bodywork, the coating makes mud and grime rinse off with less scrubbing, speeding up routine maintenance.
• Thick foaming wash: The Tough Mudder solution creates dense, dirt fighting bubbles when used with a bucket, foam gun or foam cannon to loosen heavy off-road soil.
• Concentrated formula: The foaming wash dilutes at about 1-3 oz per 5 gallon bucket, so a 64 fl oz bottle covers many washes and stretches value.
• Pleasant scent: The Tough Mudder cleaner has a lemony citrus fragrance that many users find fresh and pleasing during and after washing.

Who It's For

This kit is best for motorcycle and powersports owners who routinely ride in muddy or dusty conditions and want a low-effort way to maintain a factory shine. It appeals to people who prefer using a foam cannon or foam gun for pre-rinse cleaning and those who work on plastic and fiberglass surfaces that need a protective, water resistant coating.

It is not targeted at paint-correction enthusiasts who need compound/polish-level restoration or at users who only wash sedans on paved roads and never face heavy off-road soils. If a user needs a heavy-duty degreaser for engine bays, that product would be a better separate purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Leaves a lasting shine on plastic and fiberglass that restores factory appearance.

• Concentrated cleaner offers good coverage from a single 64 oz bottle for multiple washes.

Cons

• SC1 is a spray coating and not a substitute for paint correction or polishing of clearcoat imperfections.
• Product is flammable; users must follow spray cautions and avoid open flames during application.
