A concentrated car shampoo that combines cleaning with hydrophobic protection through ceramic technology, designed for enthusiasts seeking a three-in-one wash solution.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
4.7
Active Mechanism
nonionic surfactant cleaning
Surfactants
4 (nonionic)
Expert Analysis
This shampoo uses a nonionic surfactant system with isotridecanol ethoxylate as the primary cleaner, working at a mildly acidic pH of 4.7 for effective dirt removal while remaining safe on existing protection. The formulation incorporates reactive silicone polymer technology to deposit a hydrophobic protective layer during the wash process, creating the claimed ceramic-like water beading effect.
Key Differentiators
- •Reactive silicone polymer system that deposits protection during washing rather than just cleaning
- •Low-foaming formulation designed for quick rinsing while maintaining cleaning effectiveness
- •Concentrated formula requiring only 30ml per 10L wash bucket for up to 33 washes per bottle
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Not suitable for matte or satin finishes due to gloss-enhancing properties
- ⚠Contains silicones which may interfere with subsequent paint correction or coating applications
- ⚠Acidic pH may require extra care around sensitive trim or wheel finishes
