Full Description

CarPro Reset is a pH-neutral car shampoo made as the partner to nanotechnology sealants and coatings such as CQUARTZ, Reload and HydrO2. Its intelligent pH surfactants clean with the strength of an alkaline cleaner while staying pH-neutral in solution, so the coating keeps its water beading.

Reset has no gloss enhancers and rinses off without soap residue or silicones, so nothing masks the coating. It dilutes 1:500 in a bucket, 40ml per 20 litres of water, and gives strong lubrication and a rich, dense foam. Sizes: 500ml, 1L and 4L.

Key Features

  • pH-neutral in use

  • No gloss enhancers or silicones
  • Dilutes 1:500 in a bucket
  • 1:9 in a foam cannon
  • Rich, dense foam and strong lubrication
  • Sizes: 500ml, 1L and 4L

Expert Notes

Many shampoos leave something behind, a gloss enhancer or silicone that sits on top of the coating and hides how it is really performing. Reset is made to leave nothing, so after the rinse you see what the coating itself is doing.

If the beading on a coated car has faded, a wash with Reset is the first thing to try before reaching for a topper. At 1:500, 40ml makes a full 20 litre bucket.

Its intelligent pH surfactants clean with the strength of an alkaline cleaner while staying pH neutral in solution, breaking down traffic film so the coating keeps its hydrophobicity.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Ceramic coated paint
  • Glass
  • Plastics
  • Chrome, aluminium and stainless steel
  • Rubber and vinyl

Caution: May degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants. Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.

How To Use

Bucket wash

  1. Rinse the car with free-flowing water to remove loose dirt.
  2. Add 40ml of Reset to 20 litres of water (1:500) as the bucket fills.
  3. Wash from the top down, out of direct sun, with a wool wash mitt. Rinse the mitt in a second bucket of clean water.
  4. Do not let the shampoo dry on the paint.
  5. Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a drying towel or a blower.

Foam cannon

  1. Dilute 1:9 in the foam cannon bottle.
  2. Foam the car, then wash and rinse as above.

Top Tip: Reset may degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants, so use it on coated cars or cars protected with CarPro sealants.

  • Cleans coated vehicles safely
  • Leaves no gloss enhancers
  • Maintains coating performance
  • High lubrication wash feel
  • Economical dilution ratio
  • Rinses cleanly from paint

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CarPro Reset safe on ceramic coatings?

Yes. CarPro developed Reset as the partner to nanotechnology sealants and coatings, and made it to maintain CQUARTZ coatings.

What dilution does CarPro Reset use?

1:500 in a bucket, which is 40ml of Reset per 20 litres of water. For a foam cannon CarPro US gives 1:9.

Does Reset contain gloss enhancers?

No. Reset has no gloss enhancers and rinses off without soap residue or silicones, so the coating's own beading shows.

Is Reset pH neutral?

Yes. Its intelligent pH surfactants clean like an alkaline cleaner but stay pH-neutral in solution.

Can I use Reset on a waxed car?

CarPro US warns that Reset may degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants. It is made for coated cars and CarPro sealants.

What sizes does Reset come in?

500ml, 1L and 4L.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Use two buckets: one with Reset, one with clean water to rinse the mitt.
  2. Wash in the shade so the shampoo never dries on the paint.
  3. Remove hard water spots after the wash with CarPro Spotless if needed.
  4. Top up the protection with Reload or HydrO2 after the wash.
  5. Pre-rinse with running water to lift loose dirt first.
  6. Use a wool wash mitt.
  7. Rinse thoroughly after washing.

The Brand

CarPro

CarPro is the car care brand behind CQUARTZ, one of the ceramic coatings that brought nano-protection from professional detailing studios to everyday enthusiasts. Founded in 2009 by car enthusiasts, CarPro develops and makes its products in its own laboratory and factory, and it has grown from a single coating into a complete system for paint, glass, wheels, tyres, plastics, leather and fabric.

The range is built to work together. The shampoos and snow foams clean a coated car without leaving gloss enhancers or silicones that would mask the coating, and the compounds and polishes are body shop safe, with no fillers to hide defects. The same products suit a first-time coating at home and the upkeep of a professional CQUARTZ installation.

At The Drivers HQ we stock the CarPro products our customers use most, from Reset shampoo and IronX fallout remover to the CQ UK 3.0 coating, with much of the range on the shelf at our Ilkeston shop.

The CarPro range: prepare, protect, maintain

CarPro organises its products around the order you work on a car, which makes it easy to build a kit that suits your car and the time you have.

Prepare. Clean and decontaminate first. Lift is a concentrated pre-wash snow foam, IronX dissolves iron fallout with an acid-free, pH-balanced formula and turns purple-red as it works, and TRIX removes iron and tar in one go. For paint correction, ClearCut takes out scratches as deep as P1000, Fixer cuts and finishes in a single step, and Reflect refines the finish before a coating. Eraser then removes polishing oils so the coating can bond.

Protect. CQ UK 3.0 is CarPro's consumer ceramic coating: 70% SiO2, applied from 3 to 40°C and rated for 18 to 24 months. There are dedicated coatings for film and plastic trim (CQUARTZ Skin), glass (GForce, built on CarPro's DQUARTZ nano-diamond technology) and leather (CQuartz Leather 2.0), plus quicker options such as HydrO2, a spray-on, rinse-off silica sealant rated for up to 6 months.

Maintain. Reset is the pH-neutral shampoo made for coated cars and dilutes 1:500. Hydro Foam washes and leaves a silica layer in one step, ECH2O is a waterless wash and quick detailer, and MFX restores the absorbency of your microfibre towels.

Shop CarPro by type: ceramic coatings, snow foam, iron and fallout removers, compounds and polishes, paint sealants and glass coatings.

Where to start with CarPro

New to CarPro? Start with the products that make the biggest difference to a normal wash: Reset, Lift and a pair of Dilute bottles, which have printed ratios from 1:1 to 1:30 so every concentrate is mixed correctly. WheelX is the CarPro product our customers buy most often: a ready-to-use wheel cleaner that is safe on coated, chrome and powder-coated wheels.

Ready to protect your paint? Work in this order:

  • Wash with Lift and Reset, then remove iron fallout with IronX.
  • Polish if the paint needs it, from ClearCut for deeper marks to Reflect for a final finish.
  • Wipe each panel with Eraser and apply CQ UK 3.0 one panel at a time.
  • Keep the coating at its best with Reset and a top-up of HydrO2 or Hydro Foam every few months.

For tyres and trim, DarkSide and Perl are the favourites: Perl dilutes up to 5:1, from a rich finish on tyres to a satin look on plastics, and ReTyre cleans tyres and rubber before you dress them.
