Every wash leaves protection behind.
01Adds protection, not just clean
Regular soap cleans and rinses away. Ceramic Shampoo leaves SiO2 resins behind, so water beading and gloss build up wash after wash.
02Coating safe
pH-balanced cleansers will not strip wax, sealants or coatings, and will not leave spots or residue.
03Keeps coatings performing
Fills low spots in a worn coating so it sheds water like it did the week you put it on. Works with any brand of ceramic or graphene coating, spray or wax.
04Slick foam, fewer swirls
Thick suds and added slip agents lift dirt off the surface so your mitt glides instead of grinding grit into the paint.

FAQs
Quick answers from the Ethos team.
What is ceramic shampoo?
A pH-balanced car wash soap with ceramic (SiO2) resins that adds gloss and water beading while it cleans. Safe on coated and uncoated cars.
Is it safe on my ceramic or graphene coating?
Yes. It will not strip coatings, wax or sealants, and it tops up any brand of coating to keep it beading.
Do I need a coating to use it?
No. On uncoated paint it adds a light layer of hydrophobic protection every time you wash.
How much do I use?
2 to 3 oz in a wash bucket, or 3 to 4 oz in a foam cannon. Adjust the mix until you get the foam you like.
How many washes is a bottle?
A 16oz bottle is about 5 to 8 bucket washes. A gallon is about 40 to 60.
Can I use it in a foam cannon?
Yes. Add 3 to 4 oz to the cannon, fill with water and pre-foam the car before the contact wash.
Will it leave streaks or spots?
Not when used as directed. Wash in the shade on cool paint and do not let it dry on the surface.
Does it replace wax or a coating?
No. It adds protection and boosts what is already there. For long-term protection, pair it with RESIST or a coating.
