TL;DR Strong cleaner for ceramic and nano-sealant coatings, highly concentrated at 1:400·500, and confirmed by long-term owners to preserve coating performance. WARNING signal word at concentrate; working solution is low-hazard.
CarPro Reset is a highly concentrated shampoo for maintaining ceramic and nano-sealant coatings. It lifts road film without adding gloss enhancers or waxes that could alter coating hydrophobics. Add about 2 mL per liter in a two-bucket setup or scale up for a foam cannon. The foam is dense and clings through a full panel. Multiple long-term owners confirm road film removal in a single pass, no swirl reports, and restored beading on coated cars after washes where the coating had appeared to dull.
Best for ceramic or nano-sealant coated car owners who want a dedicated maintenance wash that won't alter the coating's hydrophobic behavior. The concentration is extreme enough that a 1L bottle lasts a year of weekly washes per long-term owners, offsetting the price. Skip it if you need a strip wash before applying new paint protection · use a dedicated stripping shampoo for that step.
WARNING signal word at concentrate, driven by H315 and H319 · both resolve at the 1:500 working-solution dilution; no PPE is warranted for normal outdoor use. The environment score is below average for the category: one surfactant ingredient has confirmed aquatic toxicity at the ingredient level, and tetrasodium EDTA (10·<30%) is poorly biodegraded in wastewater. The product mixture has not been tested for biodegradability per SDS §12.
Yes. The formula contains no gloss enhancers, polymer additives, or wax components. Multiple verified owners using it on CQUARTZ-coated cars confirm beading and coating behavior is preserved after regular washes. Restored beading after washing has been noted by several long-term buyers.
The label recommends 1:400·500 · approximately 2 mL per liter, or about 1 oz per 5 gallons. One 1L bottle yields roughly 400·500 wash loads at this ratio. Long-term buyers confirm a single 1L bottle lasts about a year of weekly washes.
No. The Amazon listing shows proposition_65_warning: false, and the CDN SDS §15 identifies no Prop 65-listed substances.
The CarPro Reset safety data sheet (WHMIS 2015 / GHS-aligned, revision 2,2 dated April 4, 2023) carries a WARNING signal word with hazard codes H315 (skin irritation) and H319 (serious eye irritation) and the GHS07 pictogram, all at concentrate strength. No DANGER, corrosive, or sensitizer codes are listed. Section 3 names four components: tetrasodium EDTA (10 to under 30 percent), ethanol (3 to under 7 percent), C12-14 ethoxylated alcohols (1 to under 5 percent), and SLES (0.1 to under 1 percent). The concentrate pH is about 10. Both irritation codes apply to the concentrate; at the 1:400 to 1:500 working dilution on the label they effectively resolve, so no PPE is warranted for a normal outdoor bucket wash.
Yes. Community owners regularly use it at higher concentration in foam cannons (e.g., 50 mL soap in 750 mL water) and report dense, cling foam. It performs well in both two-bucket and foam-cannon setups.
Car shampoo is drain-destined · the full wash solution goes to runoff. The formula contains an ethoxylated alcohol surfactant with confirmed aquatic toxicity at the ingredient level, and tetrasodium EDTA (10·<30%) is poorly biodegradable and persistent in wastewater. No Prop 65 warning applies and the working-solution health profile is clean, but these two environmental factors reduce the environment score.
