A neutral pH, hyper-concentrated car shampoo formulated with high-lubricity surfactants for safe maintenance washing on coated and waxed vehicles. Labocosmetica SEMPER has a near-neutral pH, making it safe for all coatings, sealants, and waxes. It also contains chelating agents that help prevent water spots, especially useful in hard water areas. The formulation is also verified biodegradable based on SDS ecological data.

Expert Analysis
SEMPER employs a multi-surfactant system combining anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric cleaners with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid as the primary cleaning agent at 5-10% concentration. The neutral pH formulation prioritizes surface safety over aggressive cleaning power, while high lubrication additives minimize friction during washing. The formula excludes waxes and gloss enhancers to prevent interference with existing protection layers.
Key Differentiators
- •Hyper-concentrated formula requiring minimal product per wash while maintaining high lubricity
- •Complete ingredient transparency with all 19 components disclosed, unusual for premium car shampoos
Potential Concerns
- ⚠Contains dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid which carries a 'Danger' signal word and requires careful handling
- ⚠High concentration means overdilution risks reduced cleaning effectiveness while underdilution may increase surface friction
