$2.53COST/WASH
A pH-balanced car shampoo that combines washing with protective nano-coating technology for enthusiasts seeking cleaning and protection in one step.
Key Chemistry
pH
5
Active Mechanism
surfactant cleaning
Surfactants
6 (amphoteric, nonionic, cationic)
Expert Analysis
The disclosed amphoteric surfactant system provides gentle cleaning while maintaining the mild pH of 5 to preserve existing protection layers. The formulation incorporates protective nano-components that deposit during washing to create a water-repellent layer, though the complete chemistry behind this dual-action approach remains undisclosed.
Key Differentiators
- •Dual-function formula that cleans while depositing a protective nano-layer in a single wash step
- •Mild pH of 5 designed to preserve previously applied waxes and sealants rather than strip them
