CERAKOTE High Foam Vehicle Shampoo 32 oz — pH-Neutral Car Wash, Safe for Ceramic Coatings

CERAKOTE High Foam Vehicle Shampoo is a pH-neutral, high-suds car wash soap that gently cleans vehicles while being safe for ceramic coatings.

This concentrated 32 oz bottle delivers thick, long-lasting foam that lifts dirt and road grime without stripping protective finishes. Formulated to rinse quickly and minimize streaking, the shampoo leaves a subtle citrus scent and a clean, glossy surface. It works with foam cannons, pressure washer foam lances, or by hand using the two-bucket wash method.

How does this shampoo protect my ceramic coating?

The CERAKOTE formula is pH neutral and free of harsh, stripping surfactants that can degrade ceramic layers. It breaks the bond between contaminants and paint but does not remove or dull protective coatings, helping preserve durability and gloss over time.

• pH-neutral formulation to avoid altering coating chemistry
• Safe for use on ceramic, polymer, and traditional waxed finishes
• High-foaming action reduces agitation needed during washing

Will this work with a foam cannon or for hand washes?

Yes — the shampoo is versatile. It produces thick, clingy suds in a foam cannon and also creates lubricating foam when mixed for bucket washing, helping reduce swirl marks and surface scratching.

• Dilutes easily for foam lance and foam gun settings
• Concentrated blend: adjustable dilution ratios for hand or machine use
• Lubricating suds reduce friction during mitt or sponge contact

How quickly does it rinse and will it leave streaks or water spots?

CERAKOTE’s Rapid Rinse Formula is designed to shed soap residue quickly, reducing the time water remains on the surface and lowering the chance of spotting. Rinsing with a strong flow of water and drying with a microfiber towel or blower yields the best streak-free finish.

• Fast-rinsing surfactants minimize soap film
• Works well with spot-free rinse systems and deionized water
• Follow with proper drying tools to prevent mineral streaks

What does it smell like and will it bother sensitive noses?

The shampoo contains a light hint of citrus for a fresh, clean aroma that’s noticeable but not overpowering. Its mild fragrance is formulated to enhance the washing experience without lingering strongly on the vehicle.

• Subtle citrus scent for a pleasant wash session
• Not heavily perfumed; suitable for most users
• Rinses away quickly, leaving minimal residual scent

Who this product is for: CERAKOTE High Foam Vehicle Shampoo is aimed at car enthusiasts, detailers, and everyday vehicle owners who want effective cleaning that’s gentle on protective coatings. It’s a strong choice if you use ceramic or polymer sealants and want a wash soap that maintains gloss and finish longevity while delivering rich suds and an easy rinse.
