How is carwash soap different from regular household soap?

Carwash soap is formulated to be gentle on car paint and finishes. Regular household soaps or detergents can strip away protective wax and damage the paint due to their harsh chemicals.

How do I use carwash soap?

Rinse the car with water to remove loose dirt and debris.Mix the carwash soap with water according to the product instructions.Use a clean sponge or wash mitt to apply the soapy water to the car, starting from the top and working your way down.Rinse the car thoroughly with clean water.Dry the car with a microfiber towel or chamois to prevent water spots.

Do carwash soaps w/Wax protect my paint?

Carwash soap that is labeled as a “Wash & Wax” or “Wash & Shine” will have ingredients in it to provide a nice shine after washing that will give appearance similar to a vehicle that has just had a wax applied to it, but there will not be much protection if any at all. It is still recommended to keep the paint protected with a traditional wax/sealant or a ceramic coating.
