Ethos Handcrafted Car Care Ceramic Car Shampoo — pH-Balanced, SiO₂ Hydrophobic Protection & Ultra-Slick Wash

Ethos Ceramic Car Shampoo is a pH-balanced, ultra-slick car wash soap engineered to clean, boost gloss, and add hydrophobic SiO₂ protection compatible with ceramic coatings, waxes, and sealants.

Made for enthusiasts and detailers who want a safe, high-foaming wash that enhances water beading and reduces drying time, this shampoo blends lubricity with ceramic-enhancing ingredients. It lifts road grime gently, rinses clean, and supports existing surface protection without stripping coatings or wax. The formula balances cleaning power with surface safety so you can wash frequently without introducing marring or dulling finishes.

How does this shampoo protect ceramic coatings during washing?

The shampoo uses advanced lubricants and SiO₂-infused chemistry to reduce friction while washing, minimizing the chance of wash-induced scratches. Its pH-balanced composition is formulated to be safe on factory paint, coated surfaces, and painted trims.

• SiO₂ additives boost hydrophobic properties and temporary barrier performance
• High lubricity reduces contact abrasion from mitts and brushes
• pH-balanced formula avoids stripping waxes, sealants, and coatings

Will it make my car look glossier and dry faster?

Yes — the shampoo improves surface sheeting and beading so water runs off faster, which shortens drying time and helps prevent water spots. It also leaves a slick, glossy feel that enhances the appearance of coatings, waxes, and sealants without leaving residues.

• Promotes water beading and sheeting for quicker rinse and dry
• Rinses clean to avoid streaks or film on paint and glass
• Enhances apparent depth and gloss after washing

Is this safe for all paint and trim, including uncoated vehicles?

Designed to be versatile, the shampoo works on both coated and uncoated vehicles. Gentle cleaning agents remove dirt and contaminants without harsh solvents, making it suitable for clear coats, matte trims (when rinsed properly), and chrome or plastic trim when used as directed.

• Formulated for coated and uncoated finishes alike
• Non-stripping surfactants preserve waxes and sealants
• Rinses completely to protect delicate trim pieces

How should I use Ethos Ceramic Car Shampoo for best results?

Mix a measured amount with water in a bucket or foam cannon depending on your washing method. Start with a pre-rinse to remove loose dirt, wash top-to-bottom using a grit-free mitt, then rinse thoroughly and dry or let sheet off for minimal towel time.

• Use a dilution recommended on the bottle for bucket or foam cannon
• Pre-rinse vehicle, wash with two-bucket method for safety
• Rinse thoroughly and dry to maximize hydrophobic benefits

Who is this for: Ethos Ceramic Car Shampoo is aimed at car owners and professional detailers who want an everyday wash that safely complements ceramic coatings, waxes, and paint sealants. If you value high-foam cleaning, slick lubricity to avoid wash marring, and improved water beading after a wash, this shampoo provides a balance of surface safety and cosmetic enhancement for frequent use.
