CARPRO Reset 1 Gallon

The CARPRO Reset 1 Gallon puts the pH-neutral car shampoo pros trust for ceramic coatings into a jug that won't run out mid-season. It's built for the detailer washing several protected vehicles a week — mobile operators, small shops, and multi-car households who already know how fast the small bottle disappears.

A Gallon of pH-Neutral Car Shampoo for Serious Wash Volume

Reset earned its reputation among coating owners because it solves the usual trade-off: gentle soaps that can't cut road grime, or strong soaps that eat your sealant. Its pH-neutral chemistry cleans hard and was built as the partner to CarPro's coatings and SiO2 sealants, though CarPro cautions that it may degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants. At about 1 oz per 3–4 gallon bucket, a gallon makes about 128 bucket washes.

How to Use It

• Use about 1 oz per 3–4 gallon bucket (4 capfuls = 1 oz), or mix it 1:9 in a foam cannon.
• Foam or hand-wash the vehicle from the roof down with a quality mitt.
• Rinse completely, and don't let the shampoo dry on the paint.

Which Size Makes Sense?

At $89.99 for 128 ounces, the gallon works out to roughly 70 cents per ounce versus about 95 cents for the smaller bottle — meaningful math when you're mixing foam cannon solution every weekend. Detailing one car a month? Start with the Reset 500ml and upgrade when you catch yourself rationing it.

How long will a gallon of Reset last?

At CarPro's bucket dose of about 1 oz per 3–4 gallons, a gallon makes about 128 bucket washes. In a foam cannon at 1:9 (3–4 oz per 32 oz bottle), it's about 32 to 42 loads.

Is Reset only for ceramic coated cars?

It's built for coated cars and CarPro's SiO2 sealants. CarPro cautions that it may degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants, so for a waxed or polymer-sealed car, use a soap made not to strip them.

What's the best pH-neutral car shampoo for foam cannons?

Reset works in a foam cannon at CarPro's 1:9 ratio, about 3–4 oz per 32 oz bottle. For the lowest cost per foam load, our house Quan Pink takes just 1–2 oz.
