Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
pH-balanced wash shampooGood first choice
A sensible bucket-wash shampoo when the car is normally dirty and you want lubrication without intentionally stripping wax or sealant.
The chemistry
Surfactants surround oily and particulate soil so water can carry it away; lubricating ingredients reduce friction between the mitt and clear coat.
Use it when
- Routine two-bucket or foam-assisted hand washing
- Clear-coated or single-stage glossy paint
- A protected vehicle that does not need aggressive decontamination
Compatible surfaces
- Gloss paint and clear coat
- Exterior glass
- Finished wheels when used as wash solution
Avoid or verify first
- Do not treat it as a waterless wash
- Do not scrub dry grit
- Not a substitute for iron, tar or mineral removers
How to use Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner safely
- 1Work on a cool surface out of direct sun.
- 2Pre-rinse loose grit, mix to the label ratio and wash from cleaner upper panels downward.
- 3Rinse before the solution dries and dry with a clean microfiber towel or forced air.
