$1.19COST/WASH
An ultra-concentrated alkaline car shampoo featuring anionic surfactants, designed for enthusiasts seeking high-foam washing with complete ingredient transparency.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
9.0
Active Mechanism
surfactant emulsification foam
Surfactants
4 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This ready-to-use formula centers on alkyl benzene sulfonate as the primary cleaning agent, supported by nonionic surfactants for enhanced foaming and dirt suspension. The alkaline pH of 9 provides strong cleaning power while the surfactant blend creates the thick, clinging foam that aids in safe paint washing through improved lubrication.
Key Differentiators
- •Full disclosure of all 25 ingredients provides complete formulation transparency
- •Ultra-concentrated dilution ratio of 1:640 offers exceptional value per wash
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Alkaline pH of 9 contradicts 'pH neutral' marketing claims and may affect sensitive wax or coating longevity over time
- ⚠High concentration requires careful measuring to avoid waste and potential over-dilution issues
