CarPro Descale Acid Wash 500ML:
Descale neglected paint! Revive your coating! Remove hard minerals and water spots, all while you wash!
Descale from CarPro is an all-new acidic car shampoo released for SEMA 2021. CarPro Descale was designed from the ground up for reviving ceramic coatings that have minerals built up on them.
Over time, minerals (sometimes seen as water spots) and sometimes not easily visible will “clog” or cause the surface to be less smooth. This in turn creates heavier surface tension which in turn does not allow water and dirt to shed as easily from the surface. Most communities suffer from this situation (often known as “hard water”). CarPro Descale car shampoo was created to help remove and strip these stubborn minerals from coated or even non-coated cars. It breaks down the built-up minerals that reduce gloss and restores the smoothness of ceramic coatings while bringing back its hydrophobic nature impaired by mineral stains!
While fantastic for freeing ceramic coatings and strong nano sealants (like CarPro Hydro2 or CarPro HydroFoam) of baked-on mineral deposits, Descale is not the correct shampoo for a regular wash of a waxed or sealed car as it may remove the wax or sealant. At CarPro India we recommend this product for coated cars subjected to an abundance of mineral deposits, for quarterly maintenance washes, and for neglected vehicles with mineral stains as an initial prep step before decontamination and detailing steps.
Like many CarPro products, Descale can be used “full circle” at the start of the detailing process or as maintenance for your CQuartz-coated vehicle. It can remove waxes and “old school” sealants, prepare the paint for polishing, or as it was designed remove traffic film and minerals on coated and non-coated vehicles. Buy yours today!

FAQs:
Q: Where does Descale fit in a maintenance lineup? Especially for those using Lift?
A: Descale is the best option if water spots are the culprit. Lift is the better option if a snow-foaming pre-wash is an integral part of the wash process.
Q: Will this bring back the hydrophobic effects of my ceramic coating?
A: That depends on the cause of the missing hydrophobics. If it is due to mineral buildup on the coating then yes, this will solve the beading!
Q: Will this product strip wax, sealants, and coatings off?
A: It will not strip off coatings! However, it will alter or even remove most waxes. As for sealants, it will alter weaker sealants but will not damage nano sealants such as Hydro2 Foam/Hydro2.
Q: How sensitive is this product on windshields/windows? Is it safe?
A: Absolutely! Just make sure the surfaces are cool, rinse thoroughly, and follow the application directions on our site!
Q: Is this product best for weekly wash/maintenance?
A: No, Reset is best for weekly washes unless you live in areas with too much hard water and rain. In most cases, Reset would be used weekly and this would be used “as needed”.
