Best car shampoo to clean your car more effectively

Quick take: The right shampoo cleans better, protects existing wax/coatings, and reduces swirl risk. Pick your Wavex shampoo based on your vehicle’s protection and your washing style.

Most car owners obsess over waxes, polishes, or ceramic coatings—but the wash step sets the foundation. Using a purpose-built, pH-balanced shampoo keeps your finish safer, shinier, and easier to maintain.

Why Not Use Household Detergents?

Household soaps are not pH-balanced for automotive finishes. They can strip protection, dull paint, and increase the risk of wash-induced marring. Wavex shampoos are formulated specifically for automotive paint, plastics, and protective layers.
