GOT SUDS.

This high-foaming, high-cleaning formula is engineered to break down dirt, traffic film, and road grime while remaining pH neutral and safe on existing waxes and sealants when used correctly. The highly concentrated blend produces dense, cherry-scented suds almost instantly in a wash bucket, or thick, shaving-cream-style foam when used with a Shine Supply Foam Gun—maximizing dwell time and cleaning efficiency. Hot Shot Soap is ideal for mobile detailing, high-volume washing, and paint preparation prior to wax, sealant, or ceramic coating application, where strong cleaning is required without leaving behind gloss boosters or residues.

• Ideal for mobile detailing: Hot Shot Soap’s strong cleaning power and high foam output make it well-suited for mobile and high-volume environments where efficiency matters.

• Prep-friendly: Because it contains no waxes, gloss enhancers, or ceramic additives, Hot Shot Soap is an excellent choice when prepping paint for wax, sealant, or ceramic coating application.

• Pure cleaning focus: This soap will not boost protection, but it also will not strip existing waxes or sealants when used correctly—making it a true maintenance wash for non-ceramic vehicles.

• Ceramic-coated vehicles: Avoid using Hot Shot Soap as your regular maintenance wash on ceramic coatings. Repeated use can prematurely wear coatings; use Shift Soap instead.

• Foam isn’t everything: Thick foam helps increase dwell time and loosen contamination, but proper wash technique and clean wash media are still critical to preventing marring.

• Sun use with control: Hot Shot Soap can be used in direct sunlight when managed properly—work panel by panel and never allow soap to dry on the surface.

2. Fill the remainder of the container with water.

3. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly to remove loose dirt and debris.

4. Apply a thick layer of foam to the entire vehicle, allowing it to dwell briefly to loosen dirt and traffic film.

6. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a quality drying towel.

Bucket Wash Method

1. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly to remove loose contamination.
