A concentrated anionic surfactant-based car shampoo designed for safe washing of protected paint finishes including wax, sealant, and ceramic coated vehicles.
Key Chemistry
pH
7
Active Mechanism
surfactant cleaning
Surfactants
2 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
The disclosed formula centers around sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, a powerful anionic surfactant at 10-25% concentration, combined with nonionic surfactants for cleaning performance. The alkaline pH (>7) contradicts the claimed pH-neutral positioning, suggesting the disclosed components may not represent the complete buffering system.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration of primary anionic surfactant (10-25%) for strong cleaning power
- •Foam gun/cannon compatibility with rich suds production
