ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo, previously known as ADBL Tangy, has been developed to clean the surface of car paintwork without breaking down Ceramic Coatings, quartz coatings or wax. The unique acid blend dissolves limescale deposits, while added polymers provide a smooth glide feel during hand washing.

The shampoo is intended as a complement to the regular wash routine rather than a daily cleaner, and is particularly suited to situations where the car needs to regain its water-repellent properties after driving in winter conditions or in areas with hard water. More car shampoos from ADBL are available in our range for those looking to complement their wash routine.

The pleasant raspberry scent and high foam production mean the product works well both for hand washing with a wash bucket and as an active pre-wash step before finer paintwork correction.

What makes ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo a strong choice for ceramic-coated paintwork?

The acidic formulation means the shampoo does not break down the protective layer on Ceramic Coatings, quartz coatings or wax, unlike many alkaline alternatives. At the same time, the acid blend effectively dissolves limescale deposits that would otherwise build up on the paint surface over time.

The polymer content contributes to a smoother glide between wash mitt and paintwork, reducing the risk of scratches and swirl marks during hand washing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo work on cars without Ceramic Coating?

Yes, ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo can be used on paintwork without Ceramic Coating, but the benefits of the acidic formulation are most noticeable on surfaces with Ceramic Coating, quartz coating or wax, where the shampoo helps preserve water-repellent properties.

How much foam does ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo produce and how long does a bottle last?

A dosage of 25–50 ml ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo per 10 litres of water produces high foam levels for a normal hand wash. With regular use every 2–4 weeks, a 500 ml bottle lasts for several washes, depending on the size of the car and the degree of soiling.

What sets ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo apart from traditional alkaline car shampoos?

ADBL Acidic Car Shampoo is based on an acid blend rather than an alkaline formulation, meaning it does not break down Ceramic Coatings, quartz coatings or wax in the same way that many alkaline shampoos can. At the same time, the acidic composition effectively dissolves limescale deposits, making the product suitable for maintaining treated paint surfaces.
