Car Shampoo for ceramic coating?

[Coatingsarecrack]

If one can simply foam a mildly dirty car with one of these soaps and not have to agitate with mitts, that product would be a true winner!

Well as you know THAT product doesn't exsist and think about it, if it did it would enilate all your LSP's, noone wants that, even me

Yeah I chased that dragon for a while and came to Klasse’s conclusion. If made would probably kill a coating.

It is how i found Bilt Hamber AutoFoam and paid almost $70 to get it from UK. Closest you can get. Glad we can get BH in US now.

I’m reading about BH Auto Foam right now on Amazon

I'll be getting some Bilt-Hamber autofoam by the spring to try it out. I stay ontop of my car and have less priced pre-washes like P&S Pearl that do a good enough job because like anyone else, I want to break things down better before the contact wash to make it easier and safer. I've even used pre-wash foamings as a dust removing wash as well, again, no issues with value priced offerings like P&S Pearl. Speaking of Pearl, never used it as a contact wash and that's probably because I've got "better", stronger washes for that, the right tool for the job I say.

Not sure if anyone from AG is watching/reading this but maybe get Bilt-Hamber in the fold here

I wouldn’t be surprised if AG starts selling BH before we know it

Yeah auto foam would be best for winter and fall.

I traditionally use Mr. Pink for regular cleaning and WG Si02 Uber every 2 or 3 weeks. Both of my cars are ceramic coated. The Si02 leaves behind a little Si02 behind which enhances the gloss and makes the original coating act like it's newer, and I really like that look and feel.

I have one complaint however about the Si02, as there is a visible cloudy residue left behind where the water drains underneath the mirror housings, door handles, and rear side windows...all places that are the hardest to dry. It also might show up after a rain. It wipes off easily enough...but it's irritating. Interestingly enough, the web site says to use 2 oz. to a bucket (3-4 gallons), but in their product description it is suggested to use 1 oz. I've been using 1.5 oz. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated.

For pure cleaning power it sounds like CarPro Reset is the real deal. I may want to explore replacing my Si02 with that.

The only complaint i’ve read it it will cause degradation of some sealants and most waxes.

BIlt Hamber had an interesting post on DW.

They said that we basically use LSP’s to make protect out paint and make them look good. A-lot of people are concerned with LSP preservation.

Most damage to paint happens from from improper washing and then we need to polish more.

What is more important removing grime in the most gentle way possible for the paint (touchless) which can damage our paint in the contact process or safest for LSP which is just there to protect paint?


Lastly they mention an LsP is alot easier to replace than a clearCoat

If you read any of my previous post Reset Is a go to and always in my staple as a bucket wash. I’ll try other things but believe me I am not looking nor expecting to find something better.


As a snow/pre foam, it is not worth it. If your looking for absolute cleaning BH autofoam kicks its ass.

If your wanting to stay PH neutral (and my choice for both better foam and cleaning l) would be Griots Surface wash.

The OP said he’s a sucker for thick like shaving cream foam and you can get that from Adam’s mega foam or CG Honey Dew (hasn’t affected my coatings).

In any of these cases you will save money and get a better or as good of a performing product for less.

Reset is not my choice for a pre-wash either....Lift is
