Shampoos

Shampoos for car washing

Many people who want to take care of their own car wonder: which car shampoo to choose? The offer of shampoos is very rich. However, it is worth paying attention to those car shampoos that not only deal with dirt on our car but, above all, are safe for the paint. The most important feature that a good car shampoo should have is neutral pH. Neutral pH of the shampoo guarantees that it will not damage the paint. Other features to consider are whether the shampoo removes dirt, whether it leaves no streaks, whether it contains substances protecting the paint, and whether it has antistatic properties, as well as what scent it has. The scent of the car shampoo can make the time spent washing the car more pleasant. Car cosmetics manufacturers also offer shampoos with wax. Using such a shampoo additionally protects the car's surface. However, remember that using such a solution gives worse results than using shampoo and wax separately.

Car wash shampoo is one of the basic products in every body care routine. Its task is not only to remove dirt from the paint but also to protect the surface from micro-scratches and loss of gloss. In this category, you will find a wide selection of car shampoos that effectively remove dirt, dust, road deposits, and organic contaminants – without the risk of damaging protective coatings.

Which car wash shampoo to choose?

Are you wondering which car shampoo to choose? First of all, consider:

• Type of paint – glossy or matte
• Presence of protective coatings – ceramic, wax, PPF,
• Washing technique – traditional hand washing or washing using a foam cannon.

In the MOTOGO offer, there are various types of car shampoos, including:

• Shampoos with wax – for a glossy effect and faster drying,
• Shampoos with neutral pH – safe for ceramics and waxes,
• Concentrated shampoos – more efficient and economical,
• Ready-to-use formulas – for those who value quick and effective solutions.

MOTOGO recommends car shampoos:

• are easy to rinse off, leaving no streaks or marks - even with hard water,
• often contain additives that protect the paint or enhance the appearance of the paint through gloss and smoothness of the surface.

Is a professional car wash shampoo necessary?

Yes – a professional car wash shampoo is a product that makes a real difference. Unlike random products available in supermarkets, it contains ingredients specifically designed for automotive paints. It not only cleans but also protects, refreshes the appearance, and does not disturb previously applied protective layers.

Good car shampoos are efficient, have a concentrated formula, and allow for better results with less effort. They help keep the car clean for a longer time and are the foundation of any effective care.

Car wash shampoos – what to pay attention to?

When choosing a shampoo, it is worth checking:

• whether it has neutral pH – important for cars with ceramic or wax coatings,
• whether it is a concentrate – more efficient and economical in the long run,
• whether it creates a durable, thick foam – this affects the comfort and safety of washing,
• whether it contains additives, e.g., gloss enhancers, antistatic agents, or drying aids.

In this category, you will find car wash shampoos that meet various needs – from daily washing to preparing the car for detailing.

Frequently asked questions

Can car wash shampoo be used with a foam cannon?

Yes, but only if the manufacturer allows it. Some car shampoos are compatible with foam cannons, but most active foams are a separate category of products. If you want to achieve thick foam, choose active foam, and use the shampoo in the second stage of washing.

Are car shampoos safe for ceramic coatings?

Yes, if they have a neutral pH. In the MOTOGO offer, you will find car wash shampoos that are safe for ceramics, wax, and PPF films. They do not remove protective layers or disturb the hydrophobicity of the paint.

How often should I wash my car with shampoo?

Best once a week or whenever the car is visibly dirty. Car wash shampoo helps remove dirt that can damage the paint over time. Regular washing prevents permanent deposits and improves the car's appearance.

How much car shampoo should I use?

It depends on the type of product. Concentrated shampoos are usually diluted in a ratio of 1:200 or 1:400 – 25–50 ml is enough for one bucket of water. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations on the label, as there are shampoos with even higher concentrations available.

Can I use car shampoo at home, e.g., on the driveway?

Yes. Car wash shampoos are safe and can be used on the driveway or parking lot. Just make sure you wash the car in the shade and on a cool surface – this prevents streaks from forming.
