APEX Technology Reset Shampoo by APEX Technology is a professional acidic shampoo (pH 3–4) developed for vehicles protected with graphene and ceramic coatings. It removes mineral deposits, road film, and salt, while restoring hydrophobic performance and extending coating life.
Designed as a technical maintenance solution, Reset Shampoo not only cleans — it resets the coating surface, reviving its self-cleaning effect, gloss, and water repellency (beading/sheeting). Regular use maintains coating integrity and keeps the vehicle looking freshly detailed.
- Removes mineral buildup – dissolves calcium, magnesium, and hard-water residues that block hydrophobic performance.
- Breaks down road film – eliminates oily layers from traffic, exhaust, and industrial fallout.
- Restores hydrophobicity – revives original water behavior (beading/sheeting) and reduces dirt adhesion.
- Maintains coating performance – preserves the chemical integrity of graphene and ceramic layers.
- Anti-corrosion formula – includes protective additives for safe use on aluminum, chrome, and metal parts.
- Highly concentrated – dilution from 1:20 (light dirt) to 1:10 (heavy contamination).
- Active foam cleaning – rich, long-lasting foam penetrates crevices and lifts dirt effectively.
Instructions
- Preparing the solution
Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the active ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add 50 mL of shampoo into a bucket containing 15 L of clean water.
Mix until a rich, dense foam forms — foam is essential for improved lubrication and safer washing.
- Washing the vehicle
Always wash in a cool, shaded area to prevent the surface from heating up too quickly.
Start washing from top to bottom — roof, windows, hood, sides, then lower panels.
Use the two-bucket method: one bucket with shampoo solution and another with clean rinse water to minimize the risk of scratches.
Use a soft microfiber wash mitt — never use rough sponges or brushes.
- Rinsing
After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water (ideally using a pressure washer).
Do not allow shampoo to dry on the surface — rinse each section as you go, especially in warm conditions.
- Drying
Dry the vehicle using a large microfiber drying towel or a high-absorbency “drying cloth”, gently lifting water without rubbing.
Warnings
Do not use on hot surfaces or under direct sunlight.
Do not allow the shampoo to dry on the paint, as it may leave streaks.
Always work on small sections that can be rinsed immediately.
After use, clean buckets and washing accessories thoroughly.
Store the product in a sealed container, in a cool, dry place, protected from sunlight and frost.
