Why Ablution
The ceramic wash that protects every time you clean.
Most shampoos clean. Ablution cleans and protects.
SiO₂ ceramic boost
Every wash leaves a thin layer of ceramic protection on the paint.
Hydrophobic beading
Water sheets off cleanly so drying is faster and streak-free.
Coating-safe formula
pH-neutral — won’t strip your wax, sealant or ceramic coating.
High-foam lubricity
Pillow-thick suds reduce friction between the mitt and the clear coat.
Before & after
From dusty to slick in one contact wash.
Single wash with Ablution, rinsed off, no top-up product. Beading is the ceramic doing its work.

How to use Ablution
Four steps to a slick, ceramic-protected wash.
Pre-wash first, then Ablution does the contact-safe work.
01 Prep
Pre-wash first
Use Spark or Deep Freeze to lift heavy grime before the contact wash.
02 Mix
Two capfuls per bucket
Add to a clean wash bucket with warm water. Stir gently to build foam.
03 Wash
Panel by panel
Work top-down with a clean mitt. Rinse the mitt in your rinse bucket between panels.
04 Rinse & dry
Power-rinse off
Rinse the car panel by panel and dry with a Drying Towel before water evaporates.
Pro tips
- Two-bucket method — one for clean wash, one for rinsing the mitt.
- Work in shade — direct sun causes spotting.
- Top up between washes with Gloss Armour for stronger beading.
- Safe on ceramic coatings, sealants and waxes.
Complete the ceramic wash routine
Build the perfect ceramic-protected wash.
Pair Ablution with Spark on the heavy grime, Cherry Bomb on the wheels, a Noodle Mitt for the safest contact wash, and a Drying Towel to finish.

FAQ
Common questions about Ablution.
What makes Ablution different from a normal shampoo?
It’s infused with SiO₂ ceramic carriers, so every wash leaves a thin layer of hydrophobic protection on the paint — without stripping any existing wax, sealant or coating.
Is it safe over an existing ceramic coating?
Yes. Ablution is pH-neutral and explicitly designed to layer over ceramic coatings without breaking them down.
How much should I use per wash?
Two capfuls per ~10L bucket of warm water is plenty. Resist the urge to over-dose — more soap doesn’t equal cleaner.
How many washes per bottle?
Roughly 10 washes from a 500ml bottle, or ~100 from the 5L bulk option.
Do I need to pre-wash first?
Strongly recommended. Use Spark or Deep Freeze to lift the heavy road grime before the contact wash — that’s what protects the paint from swirls.
