CARPRO HydrO2 Foam | pH Neutral Car Wash & Wax

CARPRO HydrO2 Foam is a pH neutral car wash and wax shampoo that combines safe, effective cleaning with the instant protection of a silica-based sealant, delivering gloss, hydrophobics, and durability in one simple wash.

CARPRO HydrO2 Foam takes the concept of a wash and wax and completely redefines it. Instead of leaving behind soft polymers or temporary fillers, it uses SiO₂ resins, the same active technology found in ceramic coatings, to form a genuine protective barrier on every surface you wash. As soon as you rinse the shampoo off with water, the pressure activates a hydroelectric bonding process that locks down a silica shell across paint, glass, plastics, and wheels.

This shell is not a superficial gloss booster. It is a real protective layer that repels water and dirt, shields against UV damage, and resists acids, alkaline cleaners, and solvents. The finish feels slick, looks sharper, and delivers strong hydrophobic performance that lasts up to 3 months. For regular maintenance, this means fewer wash-induced marks, easier cleaning, and a car that stays looking freshly detailed with less effort.

The car shampoo itself is highly lubricated, ensuring that the wash stage is safe on paintwork and coatings. Dirt is gently lifted away while the foam creates a cushion between your wash mitt and the surface. Unlike many wash and wax products that can leave behind streaks or a hazy residue, HydrO2 Foam rinses clean and cures instantly with water contact. There is no wiping, buffing, or waiting period required, which greatly reduces the chance of introducing marring or scratches during the process.

HydrO2 Foam is also extremely versatile. It can be used on vehicles with existing ceramic coatings as a topper, refreshing gloss and water behaviour without interfering with the coating. On cars protected with waxes or sealants, it adds a fresh boost of gloss and hydrophobics. Even on bare paint, it applies a slick, durable protective layer that makes future cleaning far easier.

For detailers and enthusiasts who want more than a simple car wash liquid, HydrO2 Foam provides both performance and protection in a single step. It saves time, reduces effort, and elevates the look and feel of your vehicle with professional results.

        Protect your car's paint coating.

        I have protected my paint with Carpro DForce and these should be great to protect the coating and make it last longer. Brilliant Carpro products.

        great protection

        advice, product range, order delivery, Waxit is my go -to. Hydr02 is a great foam, my car is normally fairly dirty so I wash with Reset, rinse well then while the car is wet I use 2 or 3 pumps onto my wash mitt wipe over 1 panel at a time rinsing straight away. the result is amazing.

        Very Impressed

        I tried this product for the first time recently and I was very impressed. After washing the car with HydrO2 Foam it had instant shine and water beading. This product does exactly what Carpro says.

        Great Product

        Love this stuff! I use this product with my foam cannon and after washing I just hose off and then I use my leaf blower to dry the car and the water just blows off completely. Beads really well and lasts for ages.
