Recharge your vehicle’s ceramic protection, amplify gloss, and achieve intense water-beading performance with every wash using Chemical Guys HydroSuds Ceramic Car Wash. Engineered for modern ceramic-coated, sealed, and bare finishes, HydroSuds fuses thick, dirt-trapping snow foam with advanced SiO2 ceramic technology. As you wash away road grime, abrasive dust, and environmental fallout, the formula deposits a slick layer of silica-rich protection that seals the clear coat, boosts brilliant optical shine, and repels water sheets instantly.
HydroSuds is the ultimate maintenance soap for ceramic-coated vehicles. Over time, road film and contamination clog the microscopic valleys of ceramic coatings, diminishing their hydrophobic water beading and slickness. HydroSuds gently flushes out embedded contaminants while infusing the existing protective layer with fresh SiO2 polymers - revitalizing coated finishes to like-new repellency. For non-coated vehicles, it acts as a standalone gloss and hydrophobic booster, leaving paint slick, vibrant, and shielded against water spots.
Key Features:
- Infused with SiO2 Ceramic Polymers: Leaves behind a hydrophobic silica shield that causes water, mud, and road film to bead and slide right off.
- Recharges Existing Ceramic Coatings: Revitalizes ceramic coatings (such as HydroCharge, HydroSlick, or professional coatings), restoring self-cleaning slickness and gloss.
- Dense Snow Foam Lubrication: Produces mountains of thick, clinging suds that encapsulate abrasive dirt particles to prevent wash-induced swirl marks.
- 100% pH-Neutral & Non-Stripping: Delivers safe, scratch-free cleaning without stripping delicate waxes, synthetic paint sealants, or clear-coat finishes.
- Foam Cannon & Bucket Friendly: Engineered for maximum foam generation in pressure-washer foam cannons, garden hose foam guns, or standard two-bucket washes.
- All-Exterior Surface Safe: Safe and effective on glossy clear coats, glass, chrome accents, polished aluminum, wheels, headlights, and vinyl wraps.
How to Use for Best Results:
- Foam Cannon / Foam Lance:
- Shake bottle well. Pour 1 to 2 oz of HydroSuds into the fluid reservoir of your foam cannon and top with warm water.
- Cover the vehicle in thick snow foam and let it dwell for 3 to 5 minutes to loosen and encapsulate road grime.
- Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer before contact washing.
- Two-Bucket Hand Wash:
- Add 1 to 2 oz of HydroSuds to a 5-gallon wash bucket filled with clean water.
- Wash the vehicle from top to bottom using a clean microfiber wash mitt, rinsing the mitt frequently in a separate rinse bucket equipped with a Grit Guard.
- Rinse & Dry:
- Rinse the entire vehicle with a free-flowing stream of clean water to initiate immediate water-sheeting action.
- Dry immediately using a plush microfiber drying towel to lock in a streak-free, high-gloss ceramic shine.
Pro Detailing Tip: Pair HydroSuds with a ceramic quick detailer like Chemical Guys HydroSpeed as a drying aid! Misting HydroSpeed onto wet panels before towel drying intensifies the ceramic barrier, eliminates water spotting, and extends coating durability.
