What Car Wash Soap Is Best For YOU? | Wash & Foam Cannon Tips
In today’s video, Levi gets explains the differences in car wash soaps and reasons why YOU may need them! From high foaming pre-washes to Wash & Waxes, each soap plays a different role in a detail! Sit back and enjoy.
The year is 2024, and we have PLENTY of options when it comes to car wash soaps/shampoo’s. Heck, some of them even smell like Christmas! But what actually makes a soap different and how does that affect a wash? Levi takes the reins in this video to explain why and when you would use different styles of soap with different PH’s and different properties.
Alkaline soaps for example, are a phenomenal way to pretreat a car and allow the high PH to begin cleaning the surface without agitation. PH Neutral Soaps are great for maintenance washes and are typically safer in direct sunlight. Protective soaps add a small amount of protection to keep your wax, sealant, or coating topped off.
The big takeaway, not all soaps are created equal and you don’t want to run into the wrong crowd in a dark alley. We hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new!
What is YOUR favorite car wash soap? Let us know down in the comments!

    Great video. Is a rinseless wash good enough to prep the paint for correction and or polishing?

      Are different items, the IK eFoam Pro 12, and the Ik eMulti Pro12 for regular spraying as shown in the video. With the same battery operated compressor you can produce 7 to 10 tanks of foam ( around 70 minutes) and with the regular spraying unit around 20 tanks ( 3 hours of continuous spraying)

    I love the rag companies products no doubt. But I'm not seeing a lot of uses for Rinseless Car Washing. I mean, you're still spending enough time on the car that rinsing it wouldn't really add that much time. Now, if you literally just don't have a hose to rinse it with, I understand. Or if it's 95° outside and you really need to wash a car, using this inside your garage (no drain) would maybe be helpful you wouldn't get water spots. I guess I'm not seeing a ton of uses for it. Tell me where I'm going lol

    I don’t get the battery design of the new Rupes HLR 15. I haven’t personally tried yet, but seen a lot of reviews on it and a lot of complaining with the design. It seems like the angles don’t quite give you the clearance you may need. Just doesn’t make sense to me. Should be sideways 🤷🏻‍♂️

    If you wash a car with either the high acid or alkaline soap, should you wash again with a neutral soap after to neutralize it?

    I can’t even color inside of lines, I have no interest in applying anything myself, I’m all thumbs. So I paid a well reputable professional for the Gtechniq Light, and afterwards I was bummed out that I didn’t just go with the Ultra. Should have just gone with the best.

  • @Baldsohard365
    @Baldsohard365 3 дні тому

    If a soap, like frostbite or active foam, is 9.5 on the scale, won't it get diluted down to neutral when used in a foam Cannon?

    • @ethanblan435
      @ethanblan435 День тому

      If your tap water were a ph of 7, the alkalinity of the soap would drop a little, but wouldn’t quite neutralize. Most tap water is slightly alkaline though, so it’s even less in reality

    I use Active Foam for every wash on my vehicles as it makes the physical wash process easier and reduces the likelihood for marring. Not really concerned about it diminishing coatings because its so easy nowadays to regularly apply protection, especially with "spray and rinse" ceramics.
