Full Description

Ceramic infused shampoo has been created using a combination of effective cleaning agents combined with ceramic polymers that bond with the surface of the vehicle to give a dramatic slickness and hydrophobic effect after just one use, whilst also improving colour brightness and depth of gloss.

Ceramic Infused Shampoo will work to add a layer of protection to previously unprotected paint or when used as a maintenance product will boost the protective properties of a previously applied wax, sealant or ceramic coating.

Can be used by a direct to mitt application for adding protection as a standalone product, or diluted 400-1 in your wash bucket for maintaining existing protection.

Expert Notes

Ceramic Infused Shampoo is part of Autobrite Direct's Ceramic Shield range and combines cleaning agents with ceramic polymers that bond to the paint during the wash. Used neat on a damp mitt, it adds a layer of protection to paint with little or none. Diluted at 40 to 60ml per bucket, it maintains and boosts an existing wax, sealant or ceramic coating. Expect slickness and a hydrophobic effect after one use, with improved colour brightness and depth of gloss. It suits owners who want protection topped up at every wash without a separate step. Pair it with a snow foam pre-wash, two buckets, a soft mitt and a microfibre drying towel, and wear eye protection when handling the 500ml concentrate.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted body panels
  • Unprotected paintwork
  • Waxed paintwork
  • Sealant protected paint
  • Ceramic coated paint
  • Cars and vans

Caution: The concentrate can cause serious eye damage, so wear eye protection when pouring and keep the bottle out of reach of children.

How To Use

Application

  1. Pre-wash the vehicle and work on cool panels out of direct sunlight.
  2. For maintenance washes, add 40 to 60ml to your wash bucket, then fill it with water.
  3. Give the bucket a few seconds of pressure washer agitation to build the foam.
  4. For cars with little or no protection, apply a small amount straight onto a damp wash mitt instead.
  5. Wash from the top down using a safe wash method, reapplying shampoo to the mitt as required.

Aftercare

  1. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly once the wash is complete.
  2. Dry with a clean microfibre drying towel before water can spot on the paint.
  3. Use it at each maintenance wash to keep topping up the protection.
  4. Rinse mitts and buckets after use, and store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Top Tip: Use it neat on the mitt for bare paint, and diluted in the bucket when protection is already in place.

Performance Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use it on a car with no protection?

Apply a small amount directly to a damp wash mitt and wash as normal, reapplying as needed. Autobrite Direct recommends this direct to mitt method for cars with little or no protection.

How much do I add to a wash bucket?

Autobrite Direct's current guidance is 40 to 60ml per wash bucket for maintenance washes. Add the shampoo first, then fill the bucket with water.

Can I use it over a ceramic coating or wax?

Yes, it is designed to boost a previously applied wax, sealant or ceramic coating when used as a maintenance shampoo.

What does the ceramic content do?

Its ceramic polymers bond with the paint during the wash. The result is slickness and a hydrophobic effect after one use, with improved colour brightness and depth of gloss.

What does it smell like?

Does it need careful handling?

The Brand

Autobrite Direct

Autobrite Direct is a car detailing brand that describes itself as built by detailers, for detailers. It was originally founded in 2005 and, in its own words, grew from a small UK operation into a recognised name within the global detailing community. In 2026 the brand entered a new chapter, now operated by Technical Brands UK & Ireland Limited, and key legacy products and formulations have been brought back. Its range covers wheel and tyre care, interior and exterior cleaning, decontamination, and finishing polish, wax and protection, and the brand states that its products are formulated and manufactured in the UK.

The Drivers HQ stocks Autobrite Direct across the wash, correction and protection stages. For washing there are snow foams, Citrus Wash Multi Purpose Cleaner as a pre-wash, and shampoos including Banana Gloss Concentrated Shampoo and Ceramic Infused Shampoo, backed by wheel cleaners, detailing buckets with a lid and dirt guard, and the Detailing Kit Bag. Paint correction is covered by the Correct It range, from Restore Cutting Compound to Enrich Correct Polish, with cutting and microfibre polishing pads. Paint sealants, quick detailers, Ceramic Shield Magiseal and Carbanuba wax protect the finish, while Crystal Glass Cleaner and Clear View Glass Polish look after the glass.

Autobrite Direct suits enthusiasts putting together their first proper wash kit as well as detailers who want products that work together from start to finish. A typical routine starts with snow foam and a pre-wash to loosen dirt before any contact, followed by a careful hand wash using a bucket fitted with a dirt guard. Where the paint needs it, machine polishing with a compound and the right pad comes next, before a sealant, wax or ceramic spray protects the finish. Glass products and the Alcantara Cleaner then take care of the windows and the interior.

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes. The Drivers HQ stocks it alongside Restore Cutting Compound, the Autobrite Cutting Pad and Correct It PRO microfibre polishing pads.
