Wash Smarter
Protection in every wash - no extra step needed
Soft99's Super Cleaning Shampoo + Wax suspends wax agents in its foam, so every maintenance wash leaves a light protective layer behind. For white and pearl finishes specifically, the colour-matched formula keeps the paint looking bright and clean rather than adding a grey cast the way a generic shampoo can.
Why It Works
Built for white and pearl paint
Four reasons this beats a plain shampoo wash for lighter finishes.
-
Colour-matched brightening
Tuned for white and pearl tones, so the finish comes out brighter, not hazier.
-
Wax layer in one step
Suspended wax agents deposit a light protective coat as you wash and rinse.
-
Swirl-reducing lather
High-foam formula lubricates the mitt to lower the risk of adding new marks.
-
Broad surface compatibility
Safe on factory paint, PPF, wraps, and existing wax, sealant, or ceramic toppers.
How It Compares
Wash-and-wax vs. plain shampoo
A standard car shampoo cleans the surface but leaves nothing protective behind. Here is how Soft99's Super Cleaning Shampoo + Wax stacks up against a typical generic shampoo for white and pearl paint owners.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits wax protection during washing | Yes | No |
| Colour-matched for white and pearl tones | Yes | No |
| Cleans dirt and grime effectively | Yes | Yes |
| Safe on PPF and wrapped surfaces | Yes | Yes |
| Replaces a dedicated wax or sealant | No | No |
| Leaves subtle gloss and slickness after drying | Yes | No |
Safe on Every Surface
pH-balanced and friendly to PPF, wraps, and ceramics
Whether your car is running factory paint, a freshly wrapped surface, or a ceramic-coated daily, this shampoo won't strip what you've already put on it. The formula is pH-balanced throughout, making it a solid maintenance wash for detailers running varied client vehicles as much as enthusiasts protecting their own.
Reviews
What our customers say
Wasn't expecting much from a wash-and-wax combo but the slickness after drying is real. Foam is thick enough to work safely with a lamb's wool mitt. Would buy again for the white daily.
Pearl silver bakkie looks properly clean after a wash with this - that dull haze between full wax sessions is gone. 😄 Packaged well from Detailer SA, no leaks or damage.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply this shampoo for the best result?
Use the two-bucket method - one bucket with your shampoo solution, one with clean rinse water. Wash with a clean, soft mitt, rinsing it in the clean bucket between passes. Rinse the car thoroughly with water and dry as normal. The light wax layer is deposited during the wash and rinse stage, so no additional buffing step is needed.
Is this shampoo safe on PPF and vinyl wraps?
Yes. The formula is pH-balanced and listed as safe on factory paint, PPF, and wrapped surfaces. It will not lift or degrade the adhesive edge of PPF or cause vinyl wraps to lift with normal washing use.
Can I use it on top of an existing ceramic coating?
Yes - the shampoo is compatible with existing wax, sealant, and light ceramic-topped finishes. It will not strip a well-cured ceramic coating. The wax agents it deposits are light, so they won't interfere with a ceramic's hydrophobic layer.
Why is this formula specific to white and pearl paint?
Many generic shampoos and waxes contain optical brighteners or pigment agents tuned to dark paint, which can leave a grey or cloudy haze on white and pearl finishes. Soft99's colour-matched formula is tuned to enhance white and pearl tones specifically, brightening the finish rather than dulling it.
Does the wax protection replace a full wax or sealant application?
No - the wax deposited in a wash-and-wax shampoo is a light maintenance layer, not a substitute for a dedicated wax or sealant. Think of it as a top-up between full protection stages, extending your existing coat's life and slickness rather than building a new base from scratch.
How much shampoo should I use per wash?
The source does not state a specific dilution ratio, so follow the guidance on the bottle. As a general rule with wash-and-wax shampoos, using slightly more than a plain shampoo ensures the wax agents are present in sufficient concentration to deposit effectively.
Is this suitable for use with a foam cannon or pressure washer?
The shampoo produces a high-foam lather, which is consistent with foam cannon use, but Soft99 has not specifically listed foam cannon compatibility in the product details. If you use it in a cannon, test the dilution ratio on a small section first to confirm foam density and rinse behaviour before a full application.
What kind of finish should I expect after washing?
After rinsing and drying, the finish is a subtle gloss with a touch of slickness - noticeably better than a plain shampoo wash, with white and pearl tones appearing brighter and cleaner. It is not a deep, saturated wax gloss, but it is a meaningful step up for a routine maintenance wash.
