Better Suds is the Better Car Care car shampoo: a highly concentrated, pH neutral wash that removes everyday dirt and road grime without needlessly wearing down the wax, sealant or ceramic coating already on the car. It mixes into a slick, well lubricated wash solution, so the mitt glides over the paint while the dirt is lifted away.
The Drivers HQ
Better Suds is the shampoo stage of the Better Car Care routine. It is pH neutral and highly concentrated, so it is used at 1:600 to 1:800: about 17 ml in a 10 litre bucket for maximum cleaning in hard water areas, down to 12.5 ml for maintenance washes of protected cars in soft water. The wash solution is slick, which helps the mitt glide and lift dirt with less friction. It will not strip wax, sealants or ceramic coatings when used as directed, and it suits gloss, satin and matt paint, wraps and PPF. Pre-wash with Better Ripper or Better Thickness first, use two buckets, and dry with the Lie Detector towel.
Caution: Measure it, as more is not better at 1:600, and rinse each panel before the wash solution can dry in sun or wind.
Top Tip: In soft water areas start at 1:800 and only go stronger if the mitt stops gliding.
