    What Soap for Ceramic Coating

    I am new to ceramic coatings and just purchased the WG Uber Kit. From what I understand I cannot use soap with wax or gloss enhancers in it anymore. ( I use to use Chemical Guys body wash and synthetic wax ). My question is, what is a good soap to use for this coating? I tried to email CG and I have not heard anything back. These are the two soaps I was thinking would work:

    Chemical Guys - Mr. Pink Super Suds Shampoo & Superior Surface Cleanser Soap (1 Gal)

    or

    https://shinesupply.com/products/shift-soap-gallon ( which seems kinda expensive @ $60 a gallon )

    Mr.Pink leaves a film behind to enhance gloss. I personally do not like that soap on any vehicle. I have been using carpro reset and reload every month or so to maintain.

    Shift works fine but since they don't sell it here I am going to have to agree with Rsurfer and recommend CarPro Reset.

    Meguiar's Hyperwash is another good option.

    Well Chemical Guys has that Carbon Flex revitalize wash you can try out if you're into CG stuff.

    Gyeon Bathe works nicely. Bathe+ if you want a little SiO2 coating-friendly pick-me-up.

    I use Optimum Car Wash, Meguiar's Hyper Wash, and CarPro Reset most often on our coated cars.

    You can use any soap on a coated car, but if you don't want to leave, any waxes, polymers or glossing enhancers, then you need a soap like Reset that leaves nothing behind. Some like the way their coating reacts when wet and not have it altered by the soap.

    Thanks, I didn't really think Gold class had any of those.
