Recently, a video about the miraculous properties of a car shampoo that produces pink foam has gone viral on the Internet and is actively being distributed. It’s as if all the attached insects immediately fly off the hood, easily washing away the traces of our smaller feathered brothers, and the washing itself turns into pure pleasure. What is the secret of such automotive chemicals, AvtoVzglyad discovered.
There is no one at one “self-wash”, and at the next there is a line. Cheaper? No, it’s more expensive. However, the latter comes out of the gun with pink foam, which is popularly considered more effective. The Internet is full of videos in which, after using a shampoo of exactly this color, real miracles happen: “impenetrable” poplar buds fly away, bird droppings smeared over the entire canopy flow down and you no longer need to carry a sponge everywhere to drag the body – a contactless method is sufficient. Magic, no less!
Experience allows us to judge car shampoos by their actions, and not by the words in the advertising brochure: even the patented, most expensive composition of the most famous manufacturer of pressure washers does not remove dirt from the car, let alone complex deposits , if you makes two mistakes. First, you need to cover your car with foam “dry” – without washing the car with running water. Secondly, saving here is inappropriate: by limiting the supply of detergent to a minimum, the effect is not achieved. There should be a lot of foam, the foam should be thick. And this is a prerequisite even for “pink” shampoos.
An interesting and unusual color is interesting for only two aspects: first, it is beautiful. Secondly, such foam spreads noticeably even on light-colored cars, that is, there is no need to look at the coverage and then top it up – the treated areas are immediately visible. But this is where the magic ends and pure marketing begins.
We are used to the fact that the foam on the sink is white. This fact required no justification, such as the blueness of the sky or the greenness of the grass. But human nature always requires something new and modern, and the collapse of stereotypes always leads to increased attention. The monument should therefore not be erected for the chemist who came up with the unique composition, but for the marketer who proposed adding an acid-colored dye. And there is no magic here.
To properly and cleanly wash your car, you only need a powerful jet of water, a high-quality and profiled composition, and not “Fary” diluted with H20 in the ratio found on the Internet, and time. This is where the recipe for success ends and physical labor begins, without which the consequences of our dirty roads and washing rare cars cannot be overcome.
