When getting a car wash, many car owners do not closely consider which products are being used on their vehicle. It’s easy to get swayed by a certain product for their marketing, but the ingredients and ratios are what’s most important. Although there are plenty of shampoos on the market, the best options are going to specifically target grime that cars collect over time while protecting their paint job.
A proper car cleaning cannot be done with the use of household shampoos (e.g. dish soap, laundry detergent, floor cleaner) because these can potentially harm the clear coat of your car. In other cases, non-car soaps may be too weak to offer a proper cleaning. Cars tend to collect heavy dirt and stains that are tough to remove, and a sufficient car shampoo must be strong enough to clear the muck without creating damage.
