Car Shampoo (Ultra Concentrate)
Up to 16 washes from one bottle. A pH-neutral ultra-concentrate that cleans deep without stripping your wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.
What is APEX Car Shampoo?
APEX Car Shampoo is a pH-neutral, ultra-concentrate car wash soap that delivers up to 16 washes from a single 16 oz bottle. You mix about 1 ounce per 5 gallons of water to create thick, lubricating suds that lift dirt and road grime away safely — without scratching the paint or stripping any wax, sealant, or ceramic coating underneath.
It is safe for the entire vehicle — paint, glass, wheels, and trim — and is engineered to clean thoroughly while staying gentle on whatever protection you already have on the paint.

Why it works
One of APEX's best-selling products — a true ultra-concentrate. Most car soaps are watered down. This one is so concentrated that a single 16 oz bottle stretches to up to 16 full washes at roughly 1 oz per 5 gallons.
It is built around a simple idea: clean hard, touch gently. A small dose makes a big batch of slick foam that does the lifting for you, so you spend less time scrubbing and your paint stays swirl-free.
Works on every surface
Safe for the entire vehicle — body panels, glass, wheels, and exterior trim all in one wash.
How to use
1. Mix about 1 oz of Car Shampoo per 5 gallons of water.
2. Load a foam cannon, or add to your wash bucket for a two-bucket hand wash.
3. Wash top to bottom with a clean mitt, letting the suds lift the dirt.
4. Rinse and dry with a microfiber towel for a streak-free, glossy finish.
Foam cannon or hand wash
Works however you like to wash. The same bottle is built for both methods.
Foam cannon: Add a few ounces to your cannon for thick, clinging foam that softens and lifts dirt before you touch the paint.
Two-bucket hand wash: Mix into your wash bucket for a rich, lubricating solution that protects against swirls and scratches.
Either way, a little goes a long way — dial the dilution up or down to get the suds level you like.
More wash.
Less bottle.
A safer way to wash
Smells like fresh coconut
Washing your car should be enjoyable. The coconut scent turns a chore into something you actually look forward to, and leaves your driveway smelling like a day at the beach instead of harsh chemicals.
