SKU: KC-AS-5L

Koch Chemie AutoShampoo – pH-Neutral, High-Foaming Car Wash Soap
Koch Chemie AutoShampoo is a professional, pH-neutral wash shampoo designed for safe, streak-free cleaning on all exterior surfaces. Its high-lubricity suds lift and encapsulate dirt to reduce wash-induced marring—perfect for routine maintenance washes on daily drivers and show cars alike.
Why detailers choose it
- pH-neutral & coating-safe: Safe for ceramic coatings, sealants, and waxes when used as directed.
- Slick, high-foam formula: Excellent lubrication to help your wash mitt glide without dragging grit across paint.
- Residue-free rinse: Rinses clean without film to leave pure, glossy paint ready for drying aids or quick detailers.
- Versatile: Works in buckets or foam cannons/foam guns with consistent, stable foam.
- German-engineered quality: Trusted by professionals for repeatable, safe results.
Ideal for
- Paint, clear coat, gloss & matte finishes*
- Glass, plastic, rubber trims, and wheel faces
- Maintenance washes between decontamination or polishing
*For matte finishes, avoid heavy agitation and drying aids that add gloss.
How to use
Bucket Wash: Add 1–2 oz (30–60 mL) to 3–5 gal (11–19 L) of water. Use the two-bucket method with a quality microfiber wash mitt. Rinse thoroughly.
Foam Cannon/Foam Gun: Pre-mix at roughly 1:10–1:20 in the reservoir (product:water), then adjust to taste/foam density based on your equipment and water hardness. Allow foam to dwell briefly, then wash and rinse.
Pro tips
- Pre-rinse or pre-foam to remove loose grit before touching the paint.
- Work panel-by-panel in the shade on cool surfaces; do not let soap dry.
- Dry with a clean, plush drying towel or blower to minimize water spots.
- For added gloss and slickness after washing, follow with a quick detailer or spray sealant.
What it doesn’t do
AutoShampoo is a gentle maintenance shampoo. It’s not a heavy degreaser or strip soap. For embedded iron, tar, or traffic film, pair your wash routine with appropriate decon products before polishing or protecting.
