Safe shampoo for Coated Cars
Hey all,
So I'm looking for a shampoo for coated cars. I am currently using CarPro Reset but customers are asking me what they can use at home since some of them like to wash their cars themselves. Any other options besides Reset that are safe for coatings?
Thanks!

Meguiar's Hyperwash and Adams Car Shampoo work fine on a coated car.

What is your definition of "safe"; a shampoo that won't remove the coating? Because if regular car wash removes coatings, a lot of us have been wasting our time.
My understanding was that Reset was actually a harsher shampoo, to take advantage of the chemical resistance/durability of coatings, and allow "snow foam" cleaning with less rubbing, etc. and the resultant marring.

I thought I read somewhere that some shampoos were too acidic and harmed the coating. Maybe not though. I used Reset because I was accidentally sent a bottle from an order on another site so I just started using it when I ran out of my normal shampoo.

I agree that reset would be "WORSE" than a regular shampoo such as Megs gold class or Adams or Mothers etc.

I've been slammed but haven't written up many of the jobs haha. I'm not a photographer so I'm bad about taking pics. Unfortunately had some oral surgery last week so I'm down for a bit.
I'll be sure to post next one I do!

Adam's is my favorite, but any shampoo should be safe for a coating. When my car is really dirty, I'll spray it all down with APC before washing. I'll pretty much put anything on my car, that's why I coated it.
