Car Shampoo for Bucket Washing and Foam Cannons, High-Lubrication Formula for Coated and Uncoated Paint

This car shampoo adds high lubrication to exterior washing, helping your wash mitt move smoothly across the vehicle. Its concentrated formula works in a wash bucket or foam cannon, where it creates a clinging foam layer that rinses away easily.

Use it on unprotected paint, matte finishes, waxed or sealed paint, ceramic coatings, PPF and vinyl wraps. Separate dilutions also let you prepare bug-impacted areas before washing or lubricate the surface during clay decontamination.
