Description
CARPRO Reset is a pH-neutral car wash shampoo made for ceramic coated vehicles — the soap you reach for when there's a coating, sealant, or wax under the dirt worth protecting. 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 that leaves coatings, sealants, and waxes exactly as it found them. It's ultra-concentrated — diluted at up to 1:500, a single bottle delivers hundreds of washes — and it behaves just as well in a foam cannon as in a wash bucket. 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 Reset to your wash bucket or foam cannon and dilute per the label chart — the concentrate is rated up to 1:500, so start conservative.
- 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 — that's the entire design brief. The pH-neutral formula cleans without stripping coatings, sealants, or wax, which is why it's the default maintenance shampoo for CQUARTZ owners.
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.

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.
