Purpose-Built Wash for Surface Preparation

ESOTERIC Strip Wash Shampoo is designed to remove existing waxes, sealants, traffic film, and surface oils prior to paint correction, coating installation, or protection reapplication. Unlike maintenance shampoos, this high-alkaline formula is engineered specifically for surface reset and decontamination.

Why Use a Strip Wash

Before polishing or applying a ceramic coating, it’s critical that the surface is free from protection layers that can interfere with polishing results or coating bonding. ESOTERIC Strip Wash Shampoo aggressively breaks down these layers while remaining safe for modern automotive paint when used as directed.

Key Benefits

Removes waxes, sealants, and road film prior to correction or coating
High-alkaline formula for effective surface stripping
Ideal for decontamination and prep workflows
Safe for all exterior paint systems when used as directed
Compatible with foam cannons or traditional bucket washing

How to Use

Rinse vehicle thoroughly to remove loose dirt and debris.
Dilute ESOTERIC Strip Wash Shampoo according to recommended ratios.
Wash the vehicle using a wash mitt or sponge, working from top to bottom.
Rinse thoroughly and inspect the surface.
Proceed with mechanical decontamination, polishing, or coating prep as needed.

Important Notes

This is not a maintenance shampoo and will remove existing protection.
Do not allow the product to dry on the surface.
For regular washing, use ESOTERIC pH Neutral Wash Shampoo instead.

Use in a wash bucket or foam cannon

In a foam cannon, mix 1 part shampoo with 4 parts water
In a bucket, mix 1oz shampoo with 3-4 gallons of water

Wash car normally with the Esoteric Wash Sponge
Rinse thoroughly

Use before polishing, coating removal, decontamination, or correction

Will strip waxes, sealants, and temporary protection
