Product details

How to use

Prewash: In case of very dirty car, perform an alkaline prewash with Foam Gun Prewash to eliminate coarse dirt.

Dilutions:

  • Can be used with a foam gun or manual sprayer such as our Nebula Foam 2.0.
  • With Foam Gun on stubborn dirt, dilute 1:5; for normal dirt, dilute 1:10.
  • With Nebula Foam 2.0, dilute 1 litre of water and 1 capful of product, then using the orange nozzle.

How to use

Pillow Foam Technique (foam cushion):

  • Cover the surface of the car with plenty of foam. This will act as a “cushion”, minimising the risk of accidental scratches on the bodywork when using the microfibre glove.
  • Without rinsing the foam, dilute 3 to 5 caps of product in 5 litres of water in the “Wash” bucket, depending on the contamination present, and proceed as a normal car wash with the Double Face microfibre glove or with a microfibre pad such as our Comfort Car Wash Pad.

Rinsing and drying:

  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with the Super Dryer microfibre cloth

Helpful tips:

  • Add 1-2 caps of shampoo to the Wash bucket for greater lubrication of the foam, or 3 caps to remove stains caused by sandy rain.
  • For maintenance washing, use the Descale Foam Shampoo with Pillow Foam Technique alternating with a neutral shampoo such as our Neutral Foam Shampoo.
  • When preparing the bodywork for polishing or applying waxes, sealants and protectors, Descale Foam Shampoo can be used after decontaminating the car with Iron Remover for a subsequent mechanical decontamination phase.

Cleaning Maintenance of rims and removal of intense dirt:

  • Dilute Descale Foam Shampoo 1:10 in the graduated bottle.
  • For the maintenance of rims, after a deep cleaning with Wheel & Tyre Cleaner spray diluted Descale Foam Shampoo, leave it to act for a few seconds, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Use a soft bristle brush to reach the gaps such as parts of the rim that are difficult to clean, plastic and chrome.
  • On the lower parts of the bodywork, in the presence of more intense limescale stains, always spray the product diluted 1:10, leave it to act for a few seconds and proceed with the Pillow Foam technique for a complete wash.
Description

Acidic Shampoo for Limescale & Mineral Removal

Descale Foam Shampoo Maniac Line is a 2-in-1 descaling acid shampoo specifically developed to eliminate limescale and mineral contamination responsible for dull, tired-looking paintwork. Its action restores the original shine of the bodywork while preserving the performance and longevity of previously applied protectants, waxes, or nanoceramic coatings.

The name “descaling” highlights its ability to chemically dissolve mineral deposits, such as limescale, water-spot residue, and sandy-rain fallout, which traditional shampoos cannot remove.

When to Use Descale Foam Shampoo

This shampoo is an excellent ally for removing:

  • limescale after sandy rain
  • mineral residue after snowfall
  • water spots caused by incorrect washing or drying
  • dulling contaminants that reduce gloss and coating effectiveness

It is also ideal for those living in hard-water areas, where mineral deposits form more quickly.

High-Lubrication Foam with “Pillow Foam” Technology

Thanks to its dense, rich foam, Descale Foam Shampoo provides exceptional lubrication. This is essential for safe washing, and it is achieved through the Pillow Foam technique:

  1. A thick layer of lubricated foam is applied using a foam gun or sprayer such as Nebula Foam 2.0.
  2. The foam adheres to the surface, lifting dirt and creating a soft barrier between the wash mitt and the paint.
  3. This “foam cushion” minimizes friction and drastically reduces the risk of scratches and micro-marring.

Combined with a microfiber wash mitt, this method ensures a delicate yet highly effective wash on all paint types.

Deep Descaling Action

Formulated with an acid pH, Descale Foam Shampoo:

  • dissolves limescale and mineral contamination
  • removes intense dirt that dulls paint
  • rejuvenates plastics and chrome surfaces
  • restores reflective clarity
  • improves the durability and performance of sealants and coatings

Its chemical action breaks the bonds holding mineral deposits to the paint, allowing them to be safely rinsed away.

How to Enhance Lubrication During Washing

To further boost lubrication during your wash:

  • Add 1–2 capfuls of Descale Foam Shampoo to the wash bucket.
  • For tougher conditions such as sandy rain, increase to 3 capfuls.

This simple addition creates an even smoother glide, reducing friction and improving safety during manual washing.

Perfect for Maintenance or Preparation

Descale Foam Shampoo can be used in two scenarios:

1. Maintenance Washing

  • eliminates mineral buildup
  • restores gloss
  • preserves coatings and sealants

2. Preparation Before Polishing or Protection

  • removes residues that interfere with mechanical decontamination
  • provides a clean, pure surface for polishing, waxing, or applying ceramic coatings

After use, paintwork appears bright, smooth, and refreshed — ready for the next detailing step.
