UD550 pH-Neutral, Polished, Pink Car Shampoo 20 L

Pink Foam, Gentle Cleaning

UD550 is a pH-neutral car cleaner that safely cleans your vehicle without causing any damage. Producing vibrant pink foam, this product is ideal for use on ceramic-coated vehicles. Its soft formulation provides gentle cleaning for the surface, with limited dirt removal capacity, ensuring that the ceramic coating remains unharmed.

pH-Neutral Safety for Ceramic Coatings

UD550 is a pH-neutral washing foam specially formulated for ceramic-coated vehicles. Its balanced pH ensures that your car’s ceramic coating remains unharmed, providing effective cleaning without compromising the protective layer. This product can be safely applied to ceramic surfaces, helping to preserve the coating's durability and shielding your vehicle from harmful elements.

Gentle Cleaning and Effective Use

UD550 is particularly effective for removing light dirt. Its pink foam spreads gently across your vehicle’s surface, and its soft texture ensures no harm to the paint. However, its dirt removal capacity is limited, and for more effective results, it is recommended to use it with a plush cloth or sponge. This approach ensures efficient dirt removal, leaving your vehicle's surface smooth, clean, and polished.

How Do I Use It?

Adding the Shampoo: Add shampoo to the foam tank at a 1/60 ratio. This ratio ensures the shampoo foams at the correct consistency and provides effective cleaning.

Adding Water: After adding the shampoo, add water to the foam tank. Warm or cold water is recommended, as hot water can affect the chemical composition of the shampoo.

Mixing Shampoo and Water: Thoroughly mix the shampoo and water. Close the foam tank securely and use the tank's mixing system to ensure the mixture is homogeneous. If there is no mixing system, you can also mix it manually.

Air Pressure Check: After preparing the shampoo mixture, check the air pressure of the machine. Most foam machines operate with a specific air pressure, typically between 4-6 bar. If the pressure is too low, the foam may not be dense enough.

Application: Once the mixture is ready, apply the shampoo mixture to your vehicle using a foam gun. To ensure the foam is spread evenly across the surface, move the gun continuously and spray slowly over each section of the vehicle.

Contact Time: Allow the foam to sit on the vehicle's surface for 2-3 minutes. This time will be sufficient for the dirt to soften. However, avoid applying it under direct sunlight, as the shampoo can dry quickly in the sun. The foam drying may leave stains on the surface and reduce its cleaning effectiveness.

Brushing: Perform the cleaning process using a sponge or plush cloth. These tools help the shampoo dissolve dirt and make cleaning more effective without damaging the vehicle's paint. Soft brushes and cloths prevent surface scratches during the cleaning process.

Rinsing: After cleaning each section of the vehicle, rinse it thoroughly with plenty of water. Ensure that all the foam is completely removed. Perform the rinsing carefully to make sure no residue is left on your vehicle.

F.A.Q.

Why Should I Choose pH-Neutral Shampoos for Ceramic-Coated Vehicles?

Ceramic coating is a specialized protective layer that shields your car’s paint, requiring careful maintenance to extend its lifespan. pH-neutral shampoos are formulated without acidic or alkaline properties, ensuring they don’t damage your car’s surface. This means cleaning products applied to the ceramic coating won’t degrade the protective layer or diminish its effectiveness.

Ceramic coatings enhance resistance to water, dirt, and other environmental elements, but they rely on the right cleaning products to perform optimally. pH-neutral shampoos gently remove dirt without harming the paint or coating. In contrast, acidic or alkaline cleaners can erode the ceramic layer, compromising its protective properties.

In summary, pH-neutral shampoos are the safest and most effective choice for ceramic-coated vehicles. They ensure thorough cleaning while preserving the coating’s durability, maintaining your car’s shine, and protecting the exterior surface.

Why is the Use of Sponges, Brushes, or Cloths Necessary with pH-Neutral Shampoos?

Gentle Cleaning Formula
pH-neutral shampoos are formulated with low cleaning strength, which is beneficial for delicate surfaces. However, to effectively remove dirt from the surface, mechanical action is required. Tools like sponges or brushes enhance the effectiveness of the shampoo, helping to lift dirt and debris more efficiently from the surface.

Need for Physical Friction
Unlike chemically strong solvents, pH-neutral shampoos rely on physical friction for dirt removal. Sponges, brushes, or cloths provide the necessary mechanical contact, boosting the cleaning power and ensuring that dirt is effectively dislodged and removed from the surface.

Ineffectiveness on Stubborn Dirt
While pH-neutral shampoos are effective for light dirt and dust, they may not be sufficient for stubborn grime, grease, or tar. Such contaminants require additional physical effort for removal. Sponges or brushes help break down and lift these tougher stains, ensuring a thorough and efficient cleaning process.
