CARPRO Reset Car Wash 500ml (17oz)

CARPRO Reset is a pH-neutral car wash shampoo made for ceramic coated vehicles — the soap CarPro built to go with its own coatings and SiO2 sealants. This 500ml bottle is the everyday pick for enthusiasts maintaining one or two cars who want their protection to outlast the season.

The pH-Neutral Car Shampoo Built Around Ceramic Coatings

Plenty of soaps advertise "coating safe" and then clean like plain water. Reset takes the opposite approach: strong cleaning power that lifts road film and grime, with a pH-neutral formula CarPro developed as the partner to its coatings and SiO2 sealants. CarPro does caution that it may degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants. It's concentrated: CarPro rates it at 400–500:1, about 1 oz in a 3–4 gallon bucket, so this 500 ml bottle makes about 17 bucket washes. In a foam cannon, CarPro's ratio is 1:9. CarPro has been refining chemistry like this since Avi Moradi founded the company in 2009, and Reset remains the maintenance wash the rest of the lineup is designed around.

How to Use It

• Add about 1 oz of Reset to 3–4 gallons of water in your bucket (4 capfuls = 1 oz), or mix it 1:9 in a foam cannon.
• Rinse the vehicle first, then wash panel by panel with a clean mitt, working top to bottom.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry as usual.

Which Size Should You Get?

This 500ml bottle is the sweet spot for a single daily driver or a weekend detailer. If you wash weekly, foam multiple vehicles, or run a small operation, the Reset 1 Gallon cuts the cost per ounce by roughly a quarter and saves you reorder trips.

Is Reset safe for ceramic coated cars?

Yes. CarPro developed Reset as the partner to its coatings and sealants, including CQuartz. CarPro does caution that it may degrade organic waxes and polymer sealants.

Can I use Reset in a foam cannon?

Absolutely. It works in a traditional two-bucket wash or through a foam cannon; follow the label's dilution guidance for each method.

Does Reset add any protection while washing?

No — it's a dedicated shampoo. If you want wash-day protection in the same step, pair it with HydrO2 Foam, which cleans and seals simultaneously.
