This in turn creates heavier surface tension which in turn does not allow water and dirt to shed as easily from the surface. Additionally, if you leave these deposits unattended, they can have permanent effects, such as creating etchings on your vehicle’s surface, which can damage its appearance. 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. This acid wash 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!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile fantastic for freeing ceramic coatings and strong nano sealants (like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.carpro-us.com\/sealants\/?_bc_fsnf=1\u0026amp;brand=10\u0026amp;Tech=Nano+Sealant\u0026amp;Arrival=2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCARPRO Hydro2 \u003c\/a\u003eor \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.carpro-us.com\/sealants\/?_bc_fsnf=1\u0026amp;brand=10\u0026amp;Tech=Nano+Sealant\u0026amp;Arrival=2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCARPRO Hydro2 Foam\u003c\/a\u003e) of baked on mineral deposits, CARPRO 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 Sky's the Limit Car Care 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.carpro-us.com\/deep-cleanse\/carpro-ironx-lemon-scent-500ml-17oz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edecontamination\u003c\/a\u003e and detailing steps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike many CARPRO products, CARPRO Descale can be used \"full circle\" at the start of the detailing process or as maintenance for your CQUARTZ coated vehicle.
