The most concentrated high-quality car wash soap on the market!

3D Super Soap is a super concentrated version of 3D Pink Car Soap only we’ve removed the water. The formula retains a uniform composition throughout the entire matrix of solution. 

AND – this uniform homogeneous solution re-mixes easily and uniformly with water to create the correctly diluted finished product. 

The break-through in chemistry is not just removing the water – heck any chemist worth his weight in salt can do this – the hard part is keeping the various ingredients suspended in a uniform solution over time AND then being able to be re-mixed with water to re-create the original product also in a uniform stable solution.

With this proprietary process 3D is able to remove the water and thus reduce the shipping costs of the Nano products while also reducing the container size and thus our ecological footprint.  And all our plastic containers are recyclable.

What is it?

High efficiency hyper-concentrated pH balanced car wash soap.

What does it do?

Removes dirt, road film and surface contamination to maintain a vehicle’s appearance and/or prep a car for paint correction.

When do you use it?

Anytime you need to get a car clean.

Dilution

Anytime you purchase a Nano Pail from 3DProducts.com – be sure to include one Nano Pump per product purchased so that you have a pump for each product and to make it quick, fast, and easy to mix-up a 32-ounce bottle of ready-to-use product. 

2/3rds-ounce per pump – or 20 milliliters

When you insert a brand new, empty 3D pump into a Nano Pail, you want to give it a good solid pump to remove the air from the pump siphon tube, pump piston and nozzle.  After this, each time press the head of the pump all the way down, you will meter out 2/3rds of an ounce of concentrate.

Quality microfiber towels and buffing pads are tools of the trade

You should look at your microfiber towels and buffing pads as tool investments because in reality, this is what they are. Just like a master mechanic knows that if he takes care of his tools – his tools will take care of him, meaning they will enable him to his job in a timely manner.

Microfiber towels are wear-items. This means they wear-out from repeated use. Quality microfiber towels are not cheap. If you take care of your microfiber towels you will get the most quality use out of them. The way you take care of your towels is to wash them correctly. In the car detailing world, microfiber towels are simply used to either spread-out a liquid or remove a liquid, paste or residue that was previously a liquid but after drying became a solid.

When it comes to liquids, pastes, and dry residues, (like wax reside or compound residue) there are basically two categories, water-soluble and water-insoluble. A spray detailer for the most part is water-soluble. But an exterior vinyl dressing or tire dressing, by the very nature for what these types of product must do i.e., resist breaking down in water – are not water soluble. The fact is any product residue in your microfiber towels that is not water soluble will be much more difficult to completely remove and that is the criteria that most people use when doing laundry.

Because we use our microfiber towels to wipe-off both water-soluble and water-insoluble substances, we need a liquid laundry soap that is capable or emulsifying, dissolving, dislodging, and removing both categories of substances without harming the material. That’s a tall order and it’s certainly not a formula that is easily created.

The 3D Towel Kleen formula is unique in that the chemists at 3D understand this complex equation. 

The chemists at 3D created a proprietary liquid laundry soap that has the ability to dissolve, emulsify and remove polar-opposite types of residues including both water-soluble and water-insoluble. 

This type of chemistry is what separates professional chemists from marketing companies. Here at 3D, when our chemists create a formula, the standard, (not the goal), is to dominate the category, not be another me-too product. 

All the words in the world will not prove to you how well 3D Towel Kleen works to clean and restore all types of microfiber towels as well as all types of buffing pads. The only thing that will work is your first-hand experience. Our recommended manufacturer’s price for our 1-gallon jug, (128 ounces), is $25.00, which works out to be 20 cents an ounce. 

The average medium size wash load, about 25 microfiber towels or 10 pounds of towels. With this concentrated, formula, you only need 2 ounces of 3D Towel Kleen. This means a standard size wash load using the best microfiber detergent on planet Earth costs you 40 cents a load. Considering how much money you have invested into your tools, your microfiber tools – you can’t afford to not use the best cleaning laundry soap… unless you like buying new towels often.

Get a gallon of 3D Towel Kleen and put 3D to the test. We know you’ll be back for more.

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

Your tires will look amazing without becoming an oily, greasy dust-magnet that will be a pain to clean the next time you wash your car.

What is it? - Water-based tire and trim dressing.

What does it do? - Restores a high gloss shine to rubber and vinyl surfaces.

When do you use it? - After first cleaning the surface to be treated.

Why use 3D Tire Shine over other options? - This multi-purpose tire shine is water-based and non-greasy, and this makes it a pleasure to use. It works like any silicone, solvent or oil-based dressing without the greasy, oily mess. You can control the gloss and shine level by the amount of product you apply. For a super high gloss, high shine finish, apply a second coat. For a low gloss matte finish, apply only one application and then wipe the tire sidewall to remove any excess and dampen down the shine.

Description

The science behind why you want a high foaming upholstery and carpet shampoo

One of the reasons everyone enjoys buying a brand-new car is because it’s new, meaning the outside is clean and shiny and even more noticeable - the inside is so clean and sterile. No one else has soiled the seats, the arm rests, the steering wheel, the center console, or the carpets. Part of the reason the inside of a brand-new car feels luxurious is because it’s so fresh and clean. It’s a universal phenomenon that people from all walks of life, describe a new car as having that new car smell. And this is because – everything is still spic-and-span clean, kind of like an operating room in a hospital – everything looks and smells surgically clean. 

It’s this clean factor, this overpowering perception that the inside of a new car is 100% completely clean and germ-free that makes getting into a new car so inviting, so welcoming. You want to get inside of a brand-new car because you know it’s so clean.

Sad news is, we can’t all simply go down to the dealership and buy a new car just because the inside of our current car loses that new car smell and starts to show signs of normal, day-in, day-out wear-n-tear.

What we can do is clean it. And the parts or areas of a car that get the dirtiest are any part or area that is made from some type of fabric, upholstery, or carpeting. Cleaning fabric, upholstery or carpeting is challenging because unlike smooth hard surfaces, where the dirt and grime is sitting on the surface and easy to wipe-off, with fabric, upholstery or carpeting, the dirt and grime can be both on the material and in the material. 

Another difficult aspect of cleaning fabric, upholstery or carpeting is once any liquids penetrate past the outer surface, or get behind or under the surface of the material being cleaned – how do you then remove any excess moisture? You need to remove any liquids or moisture, or this can lead to the formation of mold and mildew where you cannot see it or reach it to clean it.

This is why we made 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Shampoo to be a high foaming cleaner. Foam is basically suds or bubbles. Bubbles are the product (a liquid) enveloped around pockets of air and it is these foam bubbles that sit on TOP of the surface where you want them so you can work them against the surface of the material and then wipe-off the residues.

This simple foam structure of the cleaner helps you to effectively clean the material while avoiding getting too much liquid into whatever is behind the surface of the fabric, upholstery, or carpeting.

In the case of cloth seats, there is foam cushioning under the top layer of fabric. Foam absorbs liquids. If you put a straight liquid cleaner on to the surface of a cloth-covered foam seat, a lot of the liquid will saturate past the cloth surface and go into the foam. Now the problem becomes, how can you get this liquid it out? Unremoved liquids are what can lead to mold and mildew issues inside your car’s seats. This same principal applies to carpets and even cloth-covered door panels, arm rests or center consoles.

When it comes to cleaning any type of fabric by hand – you want a high foaming cleaner so the cleaner will sit on the top surface. And that’s the science behind 3D’s high foaming Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner.

Besides the high foaming feature, 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner uses 3D’s green technology to create a wide-spectrum cleaner that can tackle just about any dirt, grime, or stain that’s common to car interiors. This wide-spectrum cleaner also includes a proprietary bacterial enzyme, which completely eliminates foul odors, not just mask them over cover them up. 

And to really add some zing to the clean, we included what are known in chemistry jargon optical brighteners. These optical brighteners working with the cleaners, restore a crisp, richness-of-color to the pigments and dyes used to give your car it’s unique color scheme. 

And 3D’s chemists didn’t stop there, they also made sure this product leaves a residue-free surface to avoid future dirt build-up. 

If you want your car’s interior to look, feel and smell like a brand-new car, use 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner to hand-clean any cloth, fabric, carpet, or upholstery. You can even use it to wipe down hard, non-absorbing surfaces like vinyl and modern coated leather.

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

What is it? - Foaming upholstery, fabric, and carpet cleaner

What does it do? - Cleans carpet, fabrics, and upholstery by removing ground-in dirt, grime, food stains, liquid spills, pet stains, cosmetic stains, skin lotions stains and body oils.

When do you use it? - After first thoroughly vacuuming and removing any loose dirt and debris out of weave of fabrics, carpeting and textiles.

Why use 3D Upholstery & Carpet Shampoo over other options? - This high foaming carpet and upholstery cleaner keeps the cleaning foam on the surface where you want it, not simply soaking and saturating into and under the surface where you don’t want it. Powerful cleaning agents, optical brighteners, and bacterial enzyme odor eliminators clean while restoring a factory new bright appearance with a residue-free, fresh lemon scent.

Diluting 3D Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner

3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner is sold as a concentrate. Before using this product, you must dilute it. The dilution ratio for general cleaning is a ratio of 1:16 – or 1 part concentrate to 16 parts water. The number 16 in the expressed ratio is the ratio number.

Dilution Formula

When using U.S. Standard ounces as our unit of measure, a dilution formula is expressed like this, Final volume divided by ratio number = ounces to add to final volume container.

Dilution for a 32-ounce spray bottle

To figure out a dilution level to make a 32-ounce bottle of ready-to-use product, here’s the formula. 32 divided by ratio number = number of ounces to add to 32-ounce bottle. To correctly mix 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner at a ratio of 1:16 the equation would look like this, 32 divided by 16 = 2 ounces per 32-ounce bottle.

Dilution for a 1-gallon jug

Using the same above formula, only substituting 128 ounces for 32 ounces but still using 16 as the ratio number, the dilution equation would look like this, 1-gallon = 128 ounces. 128 divided by ratio number = ounces per gallon.

To correctly mix 3D’s Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner at a ratio of 1:16 the equation would look like this, 128 divided by 16 = 8 ounces per gallon.

In simple terms, using a clean, 1-gallon mixing container, you add 8 ounces of upholstery & carpet cleaner concentrate and then fill the rest of the container with clean water and mix thoroughly. This will make 1-gallon of ready-to-use upholstery & carpet cleaner at a 1:16 dilution ratio.

Next you will want to pour this mixture into a clean spray bottle. To create a thick foam, you’ll also want a foaming spray head. A normal spray head will not work as well as a foaming spray head.

Directions

IMPORTANT: Always work on a cool surface in the shade.

Professional Technique Tip – Dry Extraction - Always start by vacuuming any upholstery or carpet to be cleaned. This is called dry extraction. The idea is to remove as much of any loose dirt possible by lifting it out of or off of the surface. By removing dry, loose dirt first – you don’t risk liquefying this dirt with your spray liquid cleaner and then having to remove it. It’s easier, faster, and more effective to remove loose dirt via air extraction or even via blowing out the fabric, carpet, or upholstery with compressed air than it is to remove it once it’s wet.

Step 1: After vacuuming, spray 3D Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner directly onto surface to be cleaned and immediately scrub the surface with a horsehair or textile brush. 

Step 2: Use a clean, absorbent cotton terrycloth towel or absorbent microfiber towel and wipe and blot the cleaner and any emulsified dirt off of and/or out of the surface. Repeat this step switching to a fresh, dry towel often to absorb and remove as much residue as possible.

Step 3: Re-vacuum surface to lift out any remaining residues and then give the surface a final wipe with a dry towel.

Step 4: After all interior surfaces have been cleaned, wiped and/or blotted dry, place an air mover, or fan inside car and turn to the highest setting. Roll windows down about 1 inch so the air mover or fan can circulate air in and out of the car to evaporate and remove any remaining moisture. Run fan for at least one hour in normal ambient temperatures and humidity. Longer for colder, moist climates.

Permanent: won't crack, split, peel or rub off

This is a professional grade panel wipe

Generically these types of products are called panel wipes. As the name implies, you use these types of product to wipe down a panel. The idea being to chemically dissolve and remove any polishing oils or other substances left on the surface of car paint typically after any paint correction steps that have been performed.

Normal steps for a full exterior detail

When it comes to applying a conventional car wax or synthetic sealant, the normal steps include,

1. Wash and dry the car.
2. Clay the paint if there are any above surface bonded contamination detected via the Baggie Test.
3. Compound and polish the paint to remove any below surface defects like swirls and scratches.
4. Apply a car wax or synthetic paint coating.

After step 3, you can simply move onto the final step, which is applying a car wax or synthetic paint sealant without doing anything else to the paint. Just apply the wax or sealant, wait for it to dry to a haze, wipe off the dried product and you’re done.

With ceramic paint coatings – there’s an extra step

With a ceramic paint coating there is an EXTRA STEP required before installing the coating and this is the most important step because the product you use must be strong enough to remove any residual polishing oils or other substances but safe enough to prevent dulling or marring the paint.

The normal steps to install a ceramic coating include,

1. Wash and dry the car.
2. Clay the paint if there are any above surface bonded contamination detected via the Baggie Test.
3. Compound and polish the paint to remove any below surface defects like swirls and scratches.
4. Use a panel wipe to chemically strip each body panel to prep it for the coating.
5. Install the ceramic coating section by section, panel by panel.

* Step 4 is the extra step. Herein lies the problem.

Clearcoat paints are scratch-sensitive - Generally speaking, modern clearcoat paints tend to be harder than traditional single stage paints like lacquers and enamels used before 1980. While most clearcoat paints are harder than old school paints, they still scratch very easy. And because the clearcoat is like a WINDOW to the color coat, (called the basecoat), any swirls, scratches, scuffs, or towel marring – shows up like a sore thumb. This is because when you scratch something clear, the scratch is opaque or whitish in color and any medium to dark colored basecoats will reflect these whitish scratches back to our eyes making them very easy to see.

Most solvents are not good lubricants - The historic problem with most panel wipe or paint surface prep sprays, are the solvents used to do the actual work of dissolving polishing oils and other foreign substances are NOT good lubricants.

Now let me tie this together - If you take a conventional panel wipe, (a product that’s not a good lubricant), and wipe down a scratch-sensitive clearcoat, it’s really easy and also very common for this process to put towel marring back into the paint you just invested hours into buffing to perfect. In case you don’t know, towel marring is the fluffy way to describe light towel scratches.

See the problem? You need to use a panel wipe to prep the paint for the coating but using the panel wipe risks putting scratches back into the paint.

So, after you've invested hours into doing all the prep work, this includes washing, drying, claying, compounding, and polishing, the paint is now PERFECT – and the next step is to take a panel wipe and scratch the paint. Not good.

Here’s the good news… 3D isn’t no conventional car wax company and 3D WIPE isn’t any old conventional panel wipe. It’s better because 3D’s chemists are the best in the industry.

3D WIPE is a pro-grade product that is formulated to strip the paint without marring the paint at the same time. 3D Wipe is a water-based panel wipe that uses highly refined and filtered water as a base. We use a reverse osmosis process to remove all the total dissolved solids out of the water. Why? Because the water is the foundation for the formula. For cleaning ability, 3D WIPE uses a proprietary blend of surfactants.

3D WIPE is both safe and effective. It’s strong enough to remove any oils or other substances that would interfere with the proper bonding of the 3D Ceramic Coatingto the paint but offers more than enough lubrication to prevent accidental towel marring. Plus – unlike most panel wipes, it’s safe for you, your skin and it smells great too.

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

What is it? - This is a panel wipe, which is a product used to chemically strip a paint surface before installing a ceramic paint coating.

What does it do? - After compounding and polishing paint, or any other surface prep process but before installing the coating.

When do you use it? - After compounding and polishing paint, or any other surface prep process but before installing the coating.

Why use 3D Wipe over other options? - To make sure the paint surface is surgically clean so the coating can make a proper bond for best longevity and performance.
