Common questions about the Essentials Wash Kit.
Is the shampoo really ceramic-safe?
Yes — pH-neutral throughout. Won't strip ceramic, wax or sealant. Perfect for maintaining a coated car.
How long does this kit last?
Around 12–16 weekly washes — the shampoo is concentrated, a little goes a long way.
Do I need two buckets?
Yes — one for clean shampoo, one for rinsing the mitt between panels. Grit guards in both stop dirt re-contaminating.
What's the difference vs. the Advanced Wash Kit?
Essentials is the basic contact wash. Advanced adds snow foam, a lance and a premium drying towel for the full pro setup.
