MANIAC - Ceramic Shampoo 500ml for Car Detailing

Ceramic shampoo with SiO₂ technology

Product Benefits:

• 3-in-1 formula: cleans, seals, and protects for 90 days in a single step.
• Contains superhydrophobic SiO2 ceramic polymers that bond to the surface, creating a shield resistant to corrosive and acidic chemical agents.
• Gives the treated surface self-cleaning hydrophobic properties, allowing you to keep your car clean for longer.
• Leaves the surface silky smooth and adds an extreme shine comparable to wax polish.Creates a balanced and lubricated foam that easily removes dirt and prevents micro-scratches or swirl marks.
• When used as a maintenance product, it enhances the protective properties of previously applied wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.

Instructions for use:
Hand washing with a bucket: dissolve 4 caps of "MANIAC Line - ceramic shampoo" in a bucket of water and use the solution as a regular shampoo. Start working from the bottom up using a soft pad or microfibre wash mitt, always on a wet vehicle. If you want to increase the hydrophobic and protective effect, dilute the product in a bottle at a ratio of 1:5 and spray the solution onto a pad or wash mitt. Wash the vehicle in stages, in individual halves, without letting the product dry on the bodywork. Then rinse and proceed to the drying phase using our Super Dryer microfibre cloth.

Foam gun: first pre-wash the car with "MANIAC - pre-wash for foam guns" and then wash it with a microfibre wash mitt with "MANIAC - neutral shampoo". Then apply the product, pre-diluted in a ratio of 1:3 (1 part product and 3 parts water) to the entire vehicle, wait at least 1 minute and rinse with high-pressure water from top to bottom. Then proceed to dry with a Super Dryer microfibre cloth.

Recommendations:
Ensure that the vehicle's surface is not hot and that the car is in the shade. We recommend using the two-bucket wash method (one with shampoo/water solution and the other with clean water only) and a pad or microfibre wash mitt, such as our "Double Mitt - Microfibre". First pre-wash the vehicle with our “MANIAC – pre-wash for foam guns” product to remove coarser dirt from the surface and make further manual washing easier. We recommend using the two-bucket wash method (one with shampoo/water solution and the other with clean water only) and a microfibre or wool wash mitt.

First pre-wash using our “MANIAC – pre-wash for foam guns” product to remove coarse dirt on the surface to prevent scratching and facilitate the next manual washing step. For proper use of “MANIAC - ceramic shampoo”, we recommend using the two-bucket washing method (one bucket with shampoo/water solution and the other bucket with clean water only) and with a microfibre wash mitt, such as our “Double Mitt – Microfibre” or sponge/pad, such as our “Microfibre Sponge”.

Use a separate wash sponge or wash mitt for cleaning wheel rims and tyres. Using a bucket with a grit guard helps to remove dirt and grime from the mitt or sponge and trap it at the bottom of the bucket. To learn more about the two-bucket wash method, check out our video dedicated to washing accessories.

Tips: To enhance the product's performance and protection longevity, we recommend chemically decontaminating the vehicle with our “MANIAC - Iron Remover” or mechanically decontaminating it with a clay bar before applying the “MANIAC - ceramic shampoo”: this will achieve greater adhesion of the SiO2 ceramic polymers to the car body.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When and why should I use “MANIAC - Ceramic Shampoo”?
If you want an instant water-repellent effect similar to the protection offered by a nano-ceramic coating, but with less durability.

Why apply the product from the bottom up, unlike other shampoos?
Since it is a polymer, starting from the top risks leaving an uneven coating on the surface due to dripping. Starting from the bottom instead ensures an even, effective application and coverage.
