Car Shampoo
Car shampoo is a cleaning soap made for vehicle paint, designed to remove dirt without stripping protective layers.
What is Car Shampoo?
Most are pH-neutral. Some contain wax or other protective ingredients. It is usually used with the two-bucket method. Rinse the car well before washing to remove loose grit.
How it works
Surfactants loosen dirt and lubricants reduce friction between the mitt and the paint.
Why it matters for your car
Do not use washing-up liquid; it can strip wax and dry out rubber. Wash out of direct sunlight.
