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!

Great video. Is a rinseless wash good enough to prep the paint for correction and or polishing?
Those sprayer a expensive for nothing they are Trash.
What the hell did I just watch 💀💀💀
Do you have a link for this and will this foam?
Video doesn’t show you what its supposed to do
I have one and it's certainly NOT for rinsing pre-wash off of your car, that's for sure🤷♂️
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 think you should have one tube integrated amp would be awesome at night with the glow
That tweeter that’s in that speaker is amazing!!
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?
M wash vs optimum car wash...whats the difference apart from colour and smell?
Love the narrative super entertain and so informative haha, looking forward for video like ghis in the future!
I though that bottle said “gyatt” at first lmao
Everyone’s mad edgy now
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.
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?
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
Carpro reset didn't make the list?
They don't sell Carpro products so of course its not included.
We used the soaps we carry as a placeholder, but you can use our guide of the PH scale on any car wash soap. Reset is a PH of 7 so you should be good for regular use!
What is best for a dirt road and your truck is dirty every day? Maybe like best soap for once a day to get heavy dirt off…
Lol, it says basic 1:acid 1 when a basic pH is above 7, should be pH 13 if i remember right. I hate to be that guy, but here I am.
Not mentioning Labocosmetica is wild
What is it?
No raccoon, not real Pedro
My only water source is well water which is very alkaline in my situation. Is there a particular soap you'd recommend for this situation?
Regarding products similar with Kock Chemie RS, CarPro has Descale.
I have gauntlets, liquid8er and the 1500 all great towels
What is the price of that machine and also the kit.
Super cool and efficient place!
What about if you only have a few towels, do you store in a prewash bucket, as someone that only cleans the car fortnightly segregating them like this could mean 2/3 separate runs of washing machine for only 4/6 Microfibre towel/mitts!
@theragcompany Say - can you use a paint sealant after applying Absolute? Some claim that Absolute will interfere with the sealant's bonding to the paint . What do you think?
Are any of these neutral car soaps fragrance free?
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.
CarPro Reset.
It’s a Kranzle. If one fails, then you haven’t been maintaining it properly lol.
This was so good I had to watch twice and I took notes with pen and pad in hand fr quick referencing into categories 👀👍. Lev taking us to school 👌 on soaps and surfactant cleaners👀
Levi you like several other Detailers I truly respect because you have no Ego when it comes to a through and honest explanation on how to’s and the why products work.👌. All I can say is you represent the Detailing Industry with honor. I salute your contributions 🫡 I’m not just blowing smoke; I appreciate you👀👌🫡
I love this. Super bubbly and clean cut. 😂😂 Keep it up TRC
LOL, you guys were just POURING EU on the surface LOLOL Why not just use an air gun and blow it up off the surface? If it's pliable enough!
so where would FrostBite be?
Frostbite is a Ph of 9.8… so it would be on the left side with As. It will strip a wax or sealant, but not a coating.
Where is Frostbite? You missed this winner.
On the left with As.
Thought Stjarnagloss Sno was neutral ?
So did I It was sold to me a PH neutral snow foam ??
Okay but are we getting that 1 liter of Koch AutoShampoo ??? Have heard it’s the same as Active foam just without that great scent.
less foaming action, ive had both AF is better
Not sure if Matt knows this but it’s impossible for the two pressure washers to produce “more than double” the output. Lol
Rinseless wash. Quicker&cheaper.
also worse for your paint
Great explanation, thank you
Absolutely super editing. WELL DONE!
Think they forgot Carpro Descale exist, the og acid soap.
Maybe cuz they don’t sell it 😅
