Expert Notes

A ceramic shampoo does two jobs: it cleans, and it leaves a thin layer of protection behind. Used regularly, Autobead says it builds up extra layers that help a coating or wax last longer.

Choose it for maintenance washes on protected cars. Where you want nothing left on the paint, a pure shampoo such as Autobead Pure Shampoo is the better pick.

Its high lubricity keeps the contact wash safe, and a layer of Autobead Ceramic QD afterwards boosts gloss and protection, as Autobead suggests.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Ceramic coated cars
  • Waxed and sealed paint
  • Unprotected paint

Caution: Wash out of direct sun and do not let the shampoo dry on the car.
