Chemical Guys HydroSuds Ceramic Foaming Car Wash, Berry 1 Gallon — SiO2 Ceramic Protection & High-Foaming

HydroSuds pairs high-foaming suds with ceramic SiO2 technology so every wash not only removes dirt and grime but also lays down a thin, hydrophobic layer across paint, glass, and clear coat. Designed for regular use, this pH-balanced formula works with foam cannons, foam blasters, and traditional two-bucket techniques, making the gallon size ideal for detailers, multi-car households, and shops that need volume without sacrificing ceramic performance.

How does HydroSuds protect my paint during routine washes?

The formula contains SiO2 ceramic polymers that bond to exterior surfaces during washing, creating a water-repellent finish that helps beads water and reduces dust adhesion between washes. It cleans with thick suds that lift contaminants away from the clear coat rather than dragging them across the surface.

• SiO2 polymers bond while washing to add hydrophobic protection.
• Thick foam clings to vertical panels to lift dirt safely.
• pH-balanced to avoid stripping existing waxes, sealants or coatings.
• Safe on paint, glass, chrome, polished metal and plastic trim.

What equipment works best with this concentrated ceramic wash?

HydroSuds is formulated for flexible use: it's compatible with foam cannons, garden hose foam blasters, and standard two-bucket hand washes. A little goes a long way, allowing a single gallon to supply dozens of wash sessions depending on dilution and application method.

• Optimized for foam cannons and the Torq Foam Blaster for thick coverage.
• Dilutable for hand-wash buckets using a two-bucket method for paint safety.
• Concentrated formula stretches across multiple vehicles and frequent washes.
• Recommended dilutions provided by Chemical Guys for foam vs. bucket use.

Will HydroSuds replace my wax or ceramic coating?

HydroSuds is designed to add ceramic polymers with every wash, but it is not a permanent replacement for a dedicated professional ceramic coating. It enhances gloss and hydrophobicity between more durable protection methods while remaining safe to use over existing waxes and sealants.

• Deposits SiO2 polymers for incremental water-beading and gloss enhancement.
• Does not remove or degrade most existing protective products when used as directed.
• Acts as maintenance between full ceramic or paint-correction services.
• Ideal for frequent washes to keep surfaces looking slick and easier to maintain.

How does the berry scent affect the wash experience?

The berry fragrance gives each wash a pleasant, fresh aroma without affecting performance or leaving a heavy residue. The scent is subtle and dissipates as the vehicle dries, making wash sessions more enjoyable for mobile detailers and enthusiasts alike.

• Light berry scent improves the washing experience.
• Non-greasy formula that rinses clean without sticky residues.
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor detailing where fragrance is desirable.
• Fragrance does not interfere with bonding of SiO2 polymers.
