CARPRO
Descale
A targeted acidic wash for mineral buildup on compatible coated vehicles—not an everyday shampoo or a guaranteed cure for etched paint.
The chemistry
Acidic ingredients help protonate and dissolve alkaline calcium and magnesium deposits that neutral shampoo leaves behind.
Use it when
- Mineral film is reducing coating performance
- Fresh hard-water residue is spread across multiple panels
- A controlled decontamination wash is preferable to spot treatment
Compatible surfaces
- Compatible ceramic coatings
- Gloss paint after a hidden test
- Exterior glass when permitted by the label
Avoid or verify first
- Bare or acid-sensitive metals
- Matte finishes or unknown films without approval
- Frequent use when a neutral wash is sufficient
How to use Descale safely
- 1Work on cool panels out of direct sun and pre-rinse loose grit.
- 2Mix exactly to the current label, wash from cleaner upper panels downward and use light pressure.
- 3Rinse before the solution dries, then dry with clean microfiber or filtered air.
Directions and formulas change
Read the current bottle label and safety data before use. Vehicle, coating, film and material-maker instructions take priority over this editorial guide.
