— Water-Softening Car Shampoo

pH-Neutral Car Shampoo for Hard Water Conditions.

Aqua Soft Shampoo is a pH-neutral car shampoo for hard water, created for drivers and detailers who want a smoother contact wash and a cleaner drying stage. Its water-softening action helps reduce the calcium and magnesium deposits that can remain after rinsing.

The formula delivers very good lubrication, dense foam and easy rinsing, and is safe for ceramic coatings, waxes and PPF, making it a practical choice for regular maintenance on protected and unprotected vehicles. For everyday washing without the hard-water focus, see Pure Shampoo.

— Common Questions

Aqua Soft Shampoo FAQ

What does a water-softening car shampoo do?

It helps reduce the effect of calcium and magnesium in the wash water, supporting a cleaner rinse and easier drying.

Is Aqua Soft safe for ceramic coatings?

Yes. Its pH-neutral formula is suitable for ceramic coatings, waxes, PPF, paint and chrome during regular maintenance washes.

Does it remove existing water spots?

It does not remove existing water spots. It helps reduce fresh mineral deposits during washing. Existing mineral buildup may require an acidic shampoo or dedicated treatment.

How much shampoo should I use?

Add 20–50 ml per 10 litres of water (about 0.7–1.7 fl oz per 2.6 US gal), depending on the wash conditions and the level of contamination.

Is pH-neutral car shampoo the same as car wash soap?

Yes. "Car wash soap" is the more common term in the US, while "car shampoo" is more widely used in detailing circles and in the UK. Aqua Soft Shampoo works as both — a pH-neutral car wash soap for regular maintenance washes.
