Koch Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo (CES) is a pH-neutral car wash shampoo infused with SiO₂, delivering cleaning and ceramic protection in one easy step.
Koch Chemie CES takes the idea of a traditional car wash and wax and pushes it further by integrating ceramic coating technology. This car wash liquid combines a pH 6, paint-safe formula with SiO₂ protection to create a finish that not only looks incredible but also performs. After washing, it leaves behind a temporary ceramic layer that enhances gloss, adds slickness, and provides water-beading hydrophobic behaviour you can see immediately.
Unlike harsher car wash detergents, CES is pH-neutral and safe on all exterior materials, including paint, glass, and plastics. It is particularly well-suited to vehicles already protected with waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings, working as a topper that refreshes both appearance and protection in a single wash. The added UV resistance helps maintain long-term gloss and clarity while preventing fading.
With a pleasant berry–almond fragrance, CES transforms routine maintenance into an enjoyable detail. If you’re looking for one of the best car shampoos for combining cleaning and protection without extra steps, Koch Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo is a clear standout.
Note: This product is NOT suitable for use with a foam cannon.
