AUTOBACS SEVEN Co., Ltd. (Representative Director & Chief Executive Officer: Yugo Horii) has begun selling the “3pH Car Wash Starter Set,” a new product under its private brand “AQ. (AUTOBACS QUALITY).” The set includes three types of car wash shampoos designed to be used according to the type of dirt and is available at AUTOBACS Group stores nationwide and through AUTOBACS.COM.

 

　

Cars accumulate various types of dirt on their body surfaces, including organic dirt such as exhaust residue, oil film, and insect contamination, as well as inorganic dirt such as water spots and mineral deposits. Because the appropriate cleaning method differs depending on the nature of the dirt, neutral shampoo alone may not always remove all contaminants effectively. 

 

This product is a car care item that combines three types of car wash shampoos: acidic, neutral, and alkaline. It was developed to allow users to easily practice “3pH Car Washing,” a professional car washing method that uses cleaning agents with different pH levels depending on the type of dirt, even during self-service car washing. 

 

Using alkaline shampoo for organic dirt, acidic shampoo for inorganic dirt, and neutral shampoo for routine maintenance washing helps support effective cleaning according to the type of contamination. In addition, the three-step washing process using all three shampoos allows users to easily practice authentic car care based on professional car wash procedures. The product can be used not only for professional hand car wash methods with a bucket but also with a wide variety of car washing styles, including foam guns. 

 

Furthermore, its highly concentrated formula provides approximately six bucket washes or approximately three foam-gun washes. Each of the three shampoos features a different fragrance, making car washing more enjoyable.
