Bucket-Wash Shampoo · Restores Hydrophobics · Adds Gloss · CES
A maintenance wash that gives back to the coating — not a decon step, a weekly one.
A ceramic coating loses a little of its water-shedding response between deeper maintenance washes — that's normal, not a failure of the coating. Ceramic Effect Shampoo is Koch Chemie's answer to that gradual fade: a bucket-wash shampoo built to restore hydrophobics and add gloss back into the surface as part of a routine wash, on a vehicle that's already being kept up. It's not a decontamination product, and it's not trying to be one.
Most effective on a vehicle running an existing ceramic coating, CES brings back that second-week feel of a freshly coated car — the beading, the gloss — without an extra step added to your process. A 50ml dose in roughly 2.5 gallons of water is the full dilution; wash and rinse fully like you would any bucket wash.
Koch Chemie was deliberate calling this a shampoo, not a soap or a foam. Apply it that way — bucket and wash mitt or pad only. It isn't formulated for a foam cannon, and running it through one works against the chemistry instead of with it.
What it does
Restores hydrophobic performance — brings back water-shedding behavior a coating naturally loses between deeper maintenance washes, no extra step required.
Adds gloss back to the surface — works with the existing coating during the wash to bring depth back, not by leaving a residue behind.
Built for the well-maintained vehicle — a routine wash-cycle product, not a heavy-duty cleaner. Keeps a coating performing without reaching for a decon step every time.
A shampoo by design — bucket and mitt is the correct method. Foaming it changes how the formula interacts with the surface.
Dilution & Application
Correct Method
50ml
Per ~2.5 Gal Bucket
Wash with a quality mitt or pad, then rinse fully.
Bucket Only
Not A Foam Cannon Product
Not formulated for foaming — apply as the shampoo it's designed to be.
Do not let the solution dry on the surface before rinsing — it can cause spotting. If washing outdoors, avoid direct sunlight, or work section by section (wash and rinse each before moving on) if sun exposure can't be avoided.
How to Use

-
3
Wash with a quality wash mitt or pad — bucket application only, never a foam cannon.
-
