Active Foam (For Foam Lance): Active foam shampoos (Snow Foam) are specially designed for the pre-wash process, preparing the vehicle body so it won’t get scratched during the main wash with a sponge or wash mitt. They are mainly applied with a special foam cannon.
Ceramic: Ceramic car shampoos (also known as Ceramic / SiO2 Shampoos) contain silicon dioxide (SiO2) and offer significantly superior protection compared to traditional wax-based shampoos.
Silicone: Car shampoos with silicone are designed to provide immediate, impressive shine and exceptionally smooth surfaces during washing.
For Hand Washing: Simple car shampoos are designed for one and only purpose: thorough, safe cleaning. They do not contain waxes, silicones, SiO2 polymers, or shine enhancers. They focus exclusively on the proper removal of dirt.
The pH level may change when the product is diluted.
Alkaline: The alkaline shampoo (with a pH usually from 9 to 12) removes old residues, leaving the paint “bare” and clean for the next stage. It is not suitable for maintaining vehicles with ceramic coatings.
Neutral: Neutral car shampoo (pH 7) is the “king” of regular vehicle maintenance. It safely cleans the bodywork without affecting protective coatings or the car’s delicate materials.
Acidic: Acidic car shampoo (with a pH usually from 2 to 5) is a specialized cleaner, designed mainly to tackle inorganic contaminants. It targets salts, mineral deposits, and buildup caused by the environment
