Nerta Carshampoo Blue Special is a concentrated pH-neutral car shampoo that delivers a thorough, foaming wash without stripping wax, sealants or ceramic coatings — a workhorse contact shampoo for valeters, mobile detailers and home enthusiasts who want safe, slick cleaning every time. Highly concentrated and economical, Blue Special suits hand washing with the two-bucket method as well as foam-lance pre-wash use on cars, vans and motorhomes. This is a concentrated formula and must be diluted before use. Why detailers choose Carshampoo Blue Special pH-neutral and sealant-safe — protects existing wax, sealant and ceramic coatings Rich, slick foam that lifts dirt cleanly off paint and trim Highly concentrated — dilutes 1:200 for excellent cost-per-wash Pleasant cinnamon fragrance for a more enjoyable wash Compatible with foam lance, two-bucket method and pressure washer Suitable for cars, vans, motorhomes and motorbikes How to use Carshampoo Blue Special Pre-rinse the vehicle with clean water from top to bottom. Dilute Blue Special around 1:200 in a wash bucket, or 1:400 in a foam lance. Wash with a clean mitt using the two-bucket method, working in sections. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry with a clean, soft microfibre towel. Specifications Type: concentrated pH-neutral car shampoo Sizes: 5L, 20L, 200L, 1000L (see variants) Dilution: 1:100–1:400 — typically 1:200 for bucket use pH: neutral Scent: cinnamon Foam density: medium–rich Use on: paint, glass, plastic trim, alloys FAQs How does the cinnamon scent compare to other shampoo fragrances on the market?The cinnamon scent is warm and subtle rather than synthetic-sweet — most users describe it as more grown-up than typical cherry or bubblegum shampoos. Will it produce enough foam to act as a stand-alone foam-lance pre-wash?It produces a strong shampoo foam, but for thick clinging snow-foam pre-wash use a dedicated pre-wash product first and follow with Blue Special as the contact shampoo. Is it safe on matte and satin paint finishes?Yes — the pH-neutral formula contains no gloss-enhancers or polishes, so it cleans matte and satin paint without altering the finish. How long will a 5L bottle last for a household washing one car each weekend?At 1:200 dilution a 5L bottle delivers around 1000L of wash solution — enough for roughly 50–80 weekly washes on a single car.
