Protocol

How we run it in the bay.

pH-neutral wash. Protection stays put. AQUA-SUDS is a pH-neutral (7.0) car wash soap concentrate. 1 to 2 oz per bucket, or 1 oz in a foam cannon. It is the maintenance wash we run on sealed, coated and waxed cars.

  • Concentrate value. 1 to 2 oz per 3 to 4 gallon bucket, or 1 oz in a foam cannon.
  • pH-neutral (7.0). Made to lift dirt without stripping SiC sealants, coatings or wax.
  • High lubricity. Helps minimize wash-induced scratching.

Why we run it in our Texas studio

A harsh soap can strip the protection you just put down. AQUA-SUDS is the soap we use on every protected car in the bay.

The Shop Protocol

  1. Rinse and pre-treat. Rinse the car before you touch it. Pre-treat bug-heavy fronts with BUGZ B GONE.
  2. Mix. 1 to 2 oz in a 3 to 4 gallon bucket, or 1 oz in a foam cannon reservoir topped with water.
  3. Wash. Top to bottom with the Twisted Swiss Mitt, one panel at a time, rinsing the mitt between panels.
  4. Rinse and dry. Rinse thoroughly and dry with the SLURPY 20×30 or the SLURPY MAXX 26×34.

Always test in an inconspicuous area first and follow the stated dilution and dwell times.

Straight answers

Questions detailers ask.

Still stuck? Email info@aqualuxdetail.store. A detailer answers.

Is AQUA-SUDS safe on a ceramic-coated or sealed car?

Yes. AQUA-SUDS is pH-neutral (7.0) and built as a maintenance soap for cars protected with sealants, ceramic coatings or wax.

How much AQUA-SUDS do I use?

1 to 2 oz in a 3 to 4 gallon bucket, or 1 oz in a foam cannon. Adjust the cannon ratio for foam thickness.

How far does a bottle of AQUA-SUDS go?

At 1 to 2 oz per 3 to 4 gallon bucket, one 16 oz bottle makes 8 to 16 full buckets.

Can I use dish soap instead of AQUA-SUDS?

Not on a protected car. Use a pH-neutral car wash soap like AQUA-SUDS.

    Doesn't strip my sealant

    Posted by Brenda T. on 1st Feb 2026

    My biggest concern with car soap is stripping my spray sealant. Aqua-Suds cleans thoroughly without removing my Katch 22 protection. pH balanced and coating safe. Exactly what I need.

    Suds for days

    Posted by Paul G. on 18th Jan 2026

    A little bit of this soap goes a long way. Two capfuls in my foam cannon and I get thick, clingy foam that dwells on the paint. The lubricity is excellent — my mitt glides effortlessly. Great soap at a great price.

    Concentrated formula

    Posted by Fiona S. on 22nd Dec 2025

    The concentration on this soap is impressive. I use about an ounce per wash in my bucket and it's more than enough. One bottle has lasted me over 3 months of weekly washes. Excellent value.

    Smells great

    Posted by Roy C. on 16th Dec 2025

    The scent on this soap is really pleasant. Not overpowering, just a clean, fresh smell that makes wash day enjoyable. My garage smells great for hours after. Small detail but it matters.

    Works great in a foam cannon

    Posted by Michelle H. on 27th Nov 2025

    Produces thick, rich foam in my foam cannon. The foam clings to the paint and actually does cleaning work during the dwell time. Not all soaps foam well in a cannon — this one excels at it.

    Worth the upgrade from cheap towels

    Posted by Stacy L. on 20th Sep 2025

    I was using $5 drying towels from Walmart and thought they were fine. Then I tried the Slurpy. The difference is embarrassing. Better absorption, softer feel, no scratching. I can't go back to cheap towels now. You've been warned.

    Safe on all surfaces

    Posted by Henry L. on 7th Sep 2025

    I use this on paint, glass, chrome, plastic trim, and wheels. It's safe on everything and cleans everything well. One soap for the whole car simplifies my wash process. No need for multiple specialty soaps.

    Rinses clean

    Posted by Danny R. on 1st Sep 2025

    No residue, no film, no streaks after rinsing. The soap rinses completely clean leaving a bare, squeaky surface ready for sealant or drying aid. That's what a good car soap should do.

    Great

    Posted by Lupita on 15th Jan 2025

    It’s crazy how long 1 oz of this soap will go. Lots of suds. Love it.
