What does UNLOCKD Ceramic Car Wash do?
UNLOCKD Ceramic Car Wash is a premium, pH-neutral, silica-infused car wash soap designed to clean your vehicle while enhancing gloss, slickness and water-repellent protection. Its high-foaming formula lifts dirt, road grime and everyday contamination while providing excellent lubrication during contact washing. Unlike a conventional car wash soap that primarily cleans, Ceramic Car Wash also deposits silica-based hydrophobic properties that help leave the exterior slick, glossy and noticeably more water-repellent after washing.
What results can I expect after using Ceramic Car Wash?
After washing with Ceramic Car Wash, you can expect a clean, smooth and glossy finish with enhanced water beading and surface slickness. The silica-infused formula helps create a freshly detailed appearance while supporting the hydrophobic properties of existing ceramic coatings, waxes and paint sealants. On uncoated vehicles, it can also provide a noticeable improvement in gloss, slickness and water behaviour compared with a traditional maintenance car wash soap.
How many washes can I get from one bottle of Ceramic Car Wash?
The recommended starting amount is approximately 100 mL (3.5 oz) of Ceramic Car Wash per wash for both foam cannon and traditional bucket applications. At this recommended amount, a 500 mL bottle provides approximately 5 washes, a 1 L bottle approximately 10 washes, a 4 L jug approximately 40 washes and a 20 L container approximately 200 washes. Actual usage may vary depending on vehicle size, foam cannon settings and your preferred soap concentration.
How long does the hydrophobic protection from Ceramic Car Wash last?
Ceramic Car Wash is designed primarily as a maintenance soap that enhances hydrophobic performance during each wash rather than as a replacement for a dedicated ceramic coating or long-term paint protectant. How long the enhanced water-beading effect remains noticeable can vary depending on weather, mileage, washing frequency, environmental exposure and whether the vehicle already has a ceramic coating, wax or sealant. Regular use helps maintain surface slickness, gloss and water-beading performance between more extensive detailing or protection applications.
Is Ceramic Car Wash safe for ceramic-coated vehicles?
Yes. Ceramic Car Wash is specifically suited for maintaining ceramic-coated vehicles. Its pH-neutral formula cleans everyday dirt and road contamination without unnecessarily compromising the vehicle's existing ceramic protection, while its silica-enhanced formula helps support gloss, slickness and water-beading performance. This makes it an excellent maintenance car wash soap for helping keep ceramic-coated vehicles performing and looking their best.
Can I use Ceramic Car Wash on a vehicle without a ceramic coating?
Yes. You do not need an existing ceramic coating to use UNLOCKD Ceramic Car Wash. The formula is suitable for both coated and non-coated vehicles and deposits silica-based hydrophobic properties during washing to help improve gloss, slickness and water beading. It is also suitable for vehicles protected with waxes and paint sealants, making it a versatile maintenance soap for a wide range of exterior protection systems.
Can Ceramic Car Wash be used in a foam cannon?
Yes. Ceramic Car Wash is formulated for both foam cannon and traditional hand-wash applications. For a foam cannon, fill the solution bottle with warm water and add approximately 100 mL (3.5 oz) of Ceramic Car Wash, then adjust the foam cannon's solution setting to achieve your preferred foam concentration. The rich, clinging foam provides excellent coverage and helps loosen dirt and road contamination before rinsing or proceeding with a contact wash.
Does Ceramic Car Wash replace a ceramic coating or ceramic spray?
No. Ceramic Car Wash provides silica-enhanced hydrophobic properties during the washing process, but it is not intended to replace a dedicated ceramic coating or ceramic protection spray. Think of it as a maintenance product that cleans while helping enhance gloss, slickness and water beading. For longer-lasting protection, use it alongside a dedicated ceramic coating, ceramic spray or other compatible paint protection product.
Is Ceramic Car Wash safe for regular or weekly washing?
Yes. The pH-neutral formula makes Ceramic Car Wash an excellent choice for routine maintenance washing. It can be used regularly to remove everyday dirt, dust and road grime while helping maintain existing protection and hydrophobic performance. This makes it suitable for daily drivers, enthusiast vehicles and professionally detailed vehicles that are washed frequently.
Is Ceramic Car Wash good for heavily contaminated or winter-driven vehicles?
Ceramic Car Wash is ideal for routine maintenance cleaning, but vehicles with heavy mud, winter road film, salt or stubborn contamination may benefit from a dedicated pre-wash first. Thoroughly pre-rinse the vehicle and use an appropriate pre-wash when necessary to remove heavier contamination before contact washing. Ceramic Car Wash can then be used for the main wash to remove remaining contamination while enhancing lubrication, gloss, slickness and hydrophobic performance.
