What makes a good car shampoo?

A pH-neutral formula that lifts dirt without stripping your wax or sealant, and enough lubrication so the mitt glides. That combination cleans safely and keeps your protection intact.

Will shampoo strip my wax or coating?

A pH-neutral maintenance shampoo will not, which is what you want for regular washing. If you are deliberately clearing old protection before you reapply, that is a job for a stronger prep step rather than your everyday shampoo.

How much do I use per wash?

Follow the dilution on the bottle, since these are concentrated. Too little kills the lubrication that protects your paint, too much just wastes product. A measuring cap or jug keeps it right.

Shampoo

The foundation of every safe wash. A good shampoo lifts dirt with plenty of lubrication, so it slides off the paint instead of scratching its way across it.
