Description
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 while leaving coatings, sealants, and waxed finishes intact. And because the concentrate stretches as far as 1:500, a gallon represents an enormous amount of finished wash solution — this is the size you buy once and stop thinking about.
How to Use It
- Dilute according to the label chart for your method — bucket washes and foam cannons each have their own ratio, with the concentrate rated up to 1:500.
- Foam or hand-wash the vehicle from the roof down with a quality mitt.
- Rinse completely; Reset is designed for coated, sealed, and waxed vehicles, so no follow-up strip wash is needed.
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?
Longer than most people expect. CarPro rates the concentrate at dilutions up to 1:500, and even at richer foam-cannon mixes, a gallon carries a weekly washer through a very long stretch of wash days.
Is Reset only for ceramic coated cars?
No. It was engineered around coatings, but it's equally suited to sealed and waxed vehicles — anything wearing protection you'd rather keep.
What's the best pH-neutral car shampoo for foam cannons?
Among everything we carry, Reset is our first recommendation: it's formulated for foam cannon use and won't strip whatever protection sits underneath.

Pro Detailer Tips
Patch Test First
Before applying any new product to a full panel, test on a small hidden area first — especially on older paint, vinyl wraps, or exotic finishes.
Read the SDS Sheet
Every professional detailing product has a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Review it before first use to understand proper handling, dilution limits, and safety precautions.
Store Properly
Keep products in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can degrade chemistry and shorten shelf life.
