A pH-neutral ceramic shampoo designed to provide SiO2 protection while cleaning both ceramic-coated and unprotected vehicles. Carbon Collective Si02 Ceramic Shampoo is verified biodegradable based on SDS ecological data.
Key Chemistry
pH Level
5.5
Active Mechanism
surfactant cleaning
Surfactants
2 (amphoteric, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
The disclosed ingredients include a sophisticated amphoteric surfactant system centered around a betaine-type primary cleanser that provides gentle cleaning at the mildly acidic pH of 5.5. The low-foaming formulation relies on nonionic surfactants to complement the amphoteric backbone, creating a slick wash solution that facilitates the application of undisclosed SiO2 protection components.
Key Differentiators
- •Dual-purpose formulation that cleans and applies sacrificial SiO2 protection in one step
- •Low-foaming design optimized for easy rinsing and hydrophilic water sheeting behavior
- •High concentration ratio requiring only 50ml per 12 liters of water
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Carries 'Danger' signal word despite pH-neutral claims, indicating presence of hazardous components
- ⚠Very limited ingredient transparency with only 6 regulated components disclosed from unknown total formula
- ⚠Multiple application methods may create confusion about optimal use technique
