Car Shampoo for ceramic coating?

[Coatingsarecrack]

The Bilt Hamber pre wash Coatings used is really impressive. Most if not all pre-washes I've seen barely do anything. This one actually works.

When I first got this I was using on my black mustang and could tell it was working but not to this level.

1st time using on Camaro and when I went to go rinse and saw the crud it was taking with it…..
my jaw literally dropped/

And this car was not coated. 2 month old polish angel.

Wish I woulda did a 50/50. I’ll post one up next time.

LOL!

Yep, I know many hate Chemical Guys, and a lot of their stuff is overpriced and not as good as many alternatives, but I do like that soap. Nothing else in my shop from CG, aside from a bottle of the worst-smelling cherry spray I've ever had! That stuff smells like the urinal cakes at a truck stop!

Thanks...i use my leaf blower to dry. That usually does the trick if I'm patient enough (which I usually am). However as noted, sometimes the draining following a rain also causes the cloudiness. That's the frustrating part.

Carpro Reset should be your first choice. If price per ml is an issue Meg's Hyperwash would be my second choice. Both cleaned my two coated cars great. But Reset....nothing cleans better. I use it on uncoated cars too, the results just can't be beat. It is ph neutral but cleans like a high alkaline shampoo.

Can someone explain why Reset is "better" than something like CG Honey Dew Snow Foam or Adams car shampoo? To my knowledge, the most important thing to look for in coat friendly soap is if its pH neutral so it doesn't damage the coating. Anything else won't hurt or benefit the coating. In this case, both are stated pH neutral.

Im also assuming most people here aren't neglecting their coated cars where they really need intensive cleaning every wash. So wouldn't a gentle snow foam such as the CG be more than enough to get the job done?

Note: Now I usually dont like CG products, but their soaps have seem to be used by many and is one of their few decent product

CG shampoos are loaded with things that will stay behind on the coating. Silicons. Gloss enhancers. Etc. Those will hurt the cleaning and hydrophobic properties of your coating. Maybe not after one wash, but if repeatedly used I would expect it to become an issue.
