We Say

If you’re dealing with tough mineral buildup, water spots, or any form of contamination left behind by hard water, CarPro Descale is a total game changer. This product uses an acidic pH formulation to break down and dissolve mineral deposits that other shampoos or cleaners just can’t touch.

If you are someone who lives in an area with really hard water, You'll have had your fair share of stubborn calcium and magnesium deposits on the paint and glass. CarPro Descale targets these with its acidic solution, which works by dissolving the minerals without causing any damage to the surface. It’s basically like the shampoo has a special ability to neutralise and break apart the ionic bonds between the minerals and the paint, leaving the surface smooth and spot-free.

The shampoo itself isn’t harsh – in fact, the formula is surprisingly gentle, considering how effective it is. The acidic agents are balanced just right to remove the buildup while being safe for clear coats and paintwork. It’s great for people who don’t want to deal with scratching up their car just to get rid of stubborn water spots as can happen when using a mechanical form of decontamination such as clay bars or polishing. You can apply it with a foam lance or just in a bucket, and it produces a nice, thick foam that clings to the surface. After letting it dwell for a few minutes, you simply rinse it off, and all that nasty mineral residue is gone.

What we really like about CarPro Descale is that it doesn’t just clean – it actually restores the finish by removing the mineral buildup that can cause etching or damage if left untreated. We noticed a noticeable difference in the clarity of our glass also after just one wash, and the paintwork looked more vibrant too.

In short, CarPro Descale is a must-have if you struggle with water spots or mineral deposits. The acidic formula is scientifically designed to dissolve the minerals while keeping your car's finish intact, and it’s surprisingly easy to use. If you’re tired of dealing with hard water stains and want your car to look its best, this shampoo is definitely worth adding to your detailing routine.

Key Features of CarPro Descale Acidic Car Shampoo

1. Acidic Formula for Mineral and Water Spot Removal

CarPro Descale Acidic Car Shampoo features a carefully balanced acidic pH formulation that safely dissolves mineral deposits, water spots, and scale that accumulate on the vehicle's surface over time. This is especially useful for vehicles exposed to hard water or areas with high mineral content, where water spots can form a stubborn layer on the paint, glass, and trim. The acidic ingredients break down and dissolve these contaminants without damaging the surface, offering a safer alternative to harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

2. Gentle Yet Effective Cleaning Power

Despite its acidic nature, CarPro Descale is formulated to be safe for use on all exterior surfaces, including clear coats, paint, glass, chrome, and plastic trim. The nature of the formula means it won’t scratch or degrade the vehicle's paintwork, making it ideal for sensitive surfaces. The shampoo’s powerful cleaning agents lift dirt, grime, and environmental contaminants from the vehicle, preparing it for further detailing steps like waxing or sealing.

3. Water Spot & Mineral Deposit Removal

CarPro Descale is specifically designed to target and dissolve mineral deposits and water spots left behind by hard water or environmental contamination. These spots often form when water evaporates, leaving behind minerals like calcium and magnesium that can etch into the surface if not properly removed. CarPro Descale's formula effectively neutralizes and removes these deposits, restoring the vehicle’s finish without the need for harsh polishing or abrasive compounds.

4. Versatile and Safe for All Surfaces

CarPro Descale is safe for use on a variety of exterior surfaces, including paint, glass, wheels, and trim. Its mild acidic properties make it gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to tackle tough stains and mineral buildup. It’s ideal for cars that frequently encounter hard water or for vehicles that require extra attention to remove mineral or salt deposits, especially in regions with heavy rainfall or snow.

5. Easy to Use, Professional-Grade Results

CarPro Descale is simple to apply and can be used in a variety of ways. It is designed to be diluted with water, allowing you to customize its strength based on the level of contamination. The shampoo can be applied with a foam cannon, bucket, or wash mitt, and once applied, it works quickly to break down mineral deposits. After a short dwell time, the shampoo can be rinsed off, leaving behind a clean, smooth surface.
