Ceramic Effect Shampoo (Ces) - High-Gloss Car Wash & Sealant – Hydrophobic Protection for Coated Surfaces – Berry Almond Scent - 1 Liter

Got a chance to use this product over the weekend and had great results. Used the bucket method as recommended on the label. I did rinse this off immediately and did not experience any streaking as some other users have indicated. I used this as a maintenance wash and am very happy with the results. I sprayed S0.02 a few weeks ago and having this on top of that has produced great results.

Works as perfectly as described , you will see a huge change

It is a good product. It beads so it real

The Koch Chemie Ceramic Effect Shampoo CES is a nice easy-to-use car wash/shampoo wax-like product for the car owner who enjoys the satisfaction of water beading/streaming of their vehicle. The Koch Chemie Shampoo does an excellent job enhancing the gloss and slickness on your vehicle, especially on the second coating. After washing, the surface feels very smooth, with water beading and running off immediately, giving the car a nice sheen. As this product combines shampoo cleaner and sealant, it is a time saver. I also appreciate the scent and the convenience of combining cleaning and protective effects in one step, which saves time compared with applying a separate topper or sealant. KOCHCHEMIC-Ceramic Effect Shampoo is an effective car cleaner and sealer in an easy-to-apply package. It should be noted that this product is sensitive to application conditions in that it can dry quickly and, if it does, will streak and/or leave a residue. It is important to note that this product does not suds a lot making it important to follow manufacture recommendations for dilution.

Another one for the W201… and if you know how particular I am about that car, you already understand the standard. KOCHCHEMIE rarely disappoints, and this Ceramic Effect Shampoo is no exception. Here’s why I rated it 5 stars: 🧴 Premium Wash Experience — It lathers nicely, feels slick under the mitt, and rinses clean without leaving weird residue behind. ✨ Noticeable Gloss Boost — The finish looks deeper and sharper after drying. Paint just has that crisp, freshly detailed look. 💧 Hydrophobic Effect — Water behavior improves immediately. You get tight beading and solid sheeting, especially on coated surfaces. 🛡️ Great Maintenance Product — Perfect for maintaining ceramic-coated vehicles without stripping protection. 🍒 Berry Almond Scent — Subtle but pleasant. Makes the wash process a little more enjoyable instead of smelling like harsh chemicals. It’s not a miracle-in-a-bottle coating replacement — and it’s not supposed to be. Think of it as a maintenance wash that enhances gloss while reinforcing protection. 🔥 Bottom Line: If you’re already running ceramic protection or simply want a high-quality wash that adds gloss and hydrophobic behavior, KOCHCHEMIE’s Ceramic Effect Shampoo delivers exactly what you’d expect from the brand. The W201 approves — and that’s not a low bar.

Not for me. Does not work well in foam cannon and is more suitable for the wash bucket as the instructions say i believe. Does not sud like other soaps. I had to re wash with GSF and still had to buff out the residual left behind from the CES. This may be a good product if used in a certain way but I prefer the GSF and GFX. Make sure you wash in sections and rinse right away using this product because it will most likely streak or leave residual behind. Also I wouldn’t use this in direct sunlight. The berry almond scent smells amazing, would love to see a gentle snow foam with the same scent. Id probably buy a case if they had GSF in berry almond scent. Update: 5/16/2025 probably going to have to update this review after looking at this product from a different perspective.

To say I am a fan of KCX would be an understatement. I have not used a product of theirs that does not give great results, until now. As some others have stated, very low on the suds. Smell is great. The big problem is the haze on the glass; it's rather difficult to get off and takes too much elbow grease. It cleaned well. I didn't notice any haze on my white truck, but my wife's silver Tesla, she complained it left a residue overall on the paint and had a corresponding haze. This product is a miss. Stick with GSF, it is great in the bucket, very clean, and a nice separate topper for maintenance.

Another exceptionally overrated & overpriced product. The nano-magic leaves much less residue compared with this product. Too bad, I didn't take any pictures, but this is bar none the worst of their product line. Lousy suds, terrible job at cleaning & the residual is unbearable. I actually think the cheapest standard cleaner is better than this. While the product is absolute garbage, this has nothing to do with the seller
