Carbon Collective Refresh Acidic Shampoo | Acidic Car Shampoo (500 ml)

Deep cleaning that won't strip ceramic protection

Carbon Collective Refresh Acidic Shampoo is a professional acidic car shampoo designed for deep cleaning paintwork and for maintaining ceramic coatings, sealants, and waxes. The concentrated formula combines acids, detergents, emulsifiers, and lubricants to dissolve dried-on dirt, mineral deposits, and road film.

What Refresh Acidic Shampoo offers

• Acidic decontamination car shampoo for deep cleaning paintwork
• Restores the hydrophobic effect of ceramic coatings and sealants
• Removes limescale and mineral deposits
• Dissolves road film and organic contaminants
• Softens the effects of hard water
• Can be used in a bucket, foam cannon, or directly on a wash mitt

When to use Refresh

Refresh is suitable for monthly maintenance of ceramic-protected vehicles, or as a deep-cleaning shampoo before polishing, applying new protection, or removing old waxes and sealants. However, it does not replace degreasing before applying the ceramic itself – Panel Prep is intended for the final step of surface preparation, and its use is absolutely essential before applying any ceramic protection.

Frequently asked questions

Is Refresh safe for ceramic-treated paint?
Yes, the formula is designed to restore the hydrophobicity of the protection during normal use, not to damage it.

Does Refresh replace degreasing with Panel Prep before applying ceramic?
No. Refresh is a shampoo for regular washing and deep maintenance, whereas Panel Prep is a specialized degreaser – its use just before applying ceramic protection is an absolutely necessary step, not an optional addition.

How to dilute Refresh?
For regular washing, use 50 ml of shampoo per 12 l of warm water; for intensive decontamination, it can be used undiluted in a foam cannon or directly on a wash mitt.

Instructions for use

1. First, pre-wash the car with active foam and rinse thoroughly.
2. Dilute 50 ml of shampoo into 12 l of warm water.
3. Wash with a wash mitt or pad using straight motions from top to bottom.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
5. For intensive decontamination, use undiluted in a foam cannon or directly on the mitt.

Do not use on hot surfaces in direct sunlight and do not let the shampoo dry on the paint.
