CarPro Reset Intensive Car Shampoo

Anybody use this yet? The description seems to be a pH neutral shampoo containing no gloss or wax enhancers, yet as tough on dirt as an alkaline APC.

It also isn't clear if you should use it if your car is not coated. Perhaps it is harsh enough to strip waxes and sealants since the name is Reset? Any ideas?
 
This is my first time seeing this product but from the description it seems as if its a maintenance wash type soap that wont harm your vehicle weather its coated or not neither do it has the ability to strip lsp as for the name I am thinking they choose such name cause they reset(changed) the car soap market by putting out a soap that works like a alkaline soap though its pH balanced basically this is a earth friendly soap
 
It's made to clean the surface, remove oils and grime stuck to the surface and reset that coating surface, returning performance.

Many shampoo's, the surfactants can be difficult to rinse, or stick to the coating making it hydrophillic making the user think the coating has stopped beading. This is often not the case, and washing with Reset will eliminate this with it's easy rinse surfactants and cleaners will keep your coatings (And even waxes!) free of gloss enhancers and low grade waxes found in wash and wax shampoos.

Sorry to say that i can not use this shampoo for the washing of the car now i try it and get you feedback that how much helpful of this shampoo its price is also affordable.How much shampoo is used for wash one car?
 
I find this quite amusing. I applied CQUK last October, ran my car through the local touchless car wash 2x a month, all winter long...and the coating still performs and looks like the week I applied it...and some of you are worried about high quality car washes hurting the coating?

Seriously...this is a very interesting marketing strategy...instead of saying nothing short of abrading the coating with an abrasive polish will remove it...to you need a special soap to preserve it! As a consumer, I'd likely buy the coating based on the first marketing strategy.
 
I have used it since it came out as my only wash. Very economical as it is 500/1 dilution, works well in foam gun also. Not just marketing!

Reset Shampoo made for any car wash, not specially for our coatings, the only marketing idea behind it is to have pure strong car shampoo which actually clean very well car surface and not cover it with anything.
you can use any shampoo you would like for coated cars but shampoos with wax/polymers/silicones/gloss enhancers can cover the coat and affect the performance you look for.
HTH
 
I've also been using this lately... very pleased. It is incredibly slick and does rinse away quickly and easily.

I don't see anywhere where it was stated that this shampoo was "needed to preserve your paint coating". As Avi said, many shampoos contain gloss enhancers or wax. While these may be desired by some people, they serve absolutely no purpose on a coated vehicle as the wax found in the shampoo may actually cover up the properties of the coating. A shampoo that rinses away cleanly without leaving behind any other ingredients is a great choice for coating users or even someone with traditional wax that does not want to alter the properties of their LSP with whatever the shampoo is leaving behind.

Doesn't sound like marketing hype to me... sounds like good common sense :)

what dilution did you use in the foam gun?

I used it a couple of times in a bucket, and it worked very well.

That's funny. That's the exact point I am trying to make in another thread. Products leaving behind residue on top of the coating. I have it in my cart.
 
Avi, I am assuming this Reset soap pretty much cleans off any additional product that is sitting on top of a coating?

For say i have CQUK, and i applied Reload or Hydro 2.
By using Reset, it will remove the reload and hydro, leaving me with just the BARE CQUK coating?
 
I had it in my cart, but then I talked to Corey of CarPro USA and he said that it is not a high foam shampoo - that it is low suds and I don't prefer that type for maintenance washes. Wash and wax, like 1Z Perls, then fine but I like high suds, so I didn't get it.

I'm excited to hear the feedback, though.
 
would PBL shampoo be an equivalent to Reset? They are both "made" for coatings. It seems PBL has good amount of suds.

Im going to deplete my inventory of gloss enhancing shampoos and buy some that don't leave any residue behind. Adam's makes a shampoo which is really good and I heard AF Lather makes a non-gloss enhancing shampoo as well.

I've used this in my foam cannon as well as just in a bucket and there are still plenty of foam/suds IMO. Worked nicely in the foam cannon as previously mentioned.
