$0.98COST/WASH
A graphene-infused alkaline car shampoo designed for maintaining graphene and ceramic coatings while providing additional protection with each wash. Ethos Cleanse ranks #3 of 134 car shampoos for surfactant count.
Key Chemistry
pH
8–9
Active Mechanism
surfactant cleaning
Surfactants
9 (anionic, nonionic, amphoteric)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium laureth sulfate as the primary surfactant at high concentration (12-20%) combined with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants to create a high-foaming, ultra-slick cleaning system. The alkaline pH of 8.5 helps cut through heavy contamination while claimed graphene additives are intended to deposit protective resins during washing.
Key Differentiators
- •Claims to contain active graphene coating resins that deposit protection during washing
- •High concentration surfactant blend designed specifically for coating maintenance rather than stripping
