$2.12COST/WASH
A dual-purpose car shampoo that combines washing with hydrophobic coating application, designed for detailers seeking a convenient two-step process in one product.
Key Chemistry
pH
6–8
Active Mechanism
surfactant cleaning with silicone protection
Surfactants
2 (cationic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
The disclosed components include cationic surfactants like dicoco alkyldimethyl chlorides that provide cleaning power while potentially delivering hydrophobic agents to the surface. The neutral pH formulation (6-8) suggests a balanced approach that's safe for regular use while still maintaining cleaning effectiveness and coating deposition capabilities.
Key Differentiators
- •Dual-action formula that washes and applies hydrophobic coating simultaneously
- •Neutral pH range makes it safe for frequent use on ceramic coatings and sensitive surfaces
