Koch Chemie RS Reactivation Shampoo | Acidic Descaler | Ceramic Coating Reviver

Koch Chemie (RS) Reactivation Shampoo 

Descaling Shampoo for Ceramic Coatings

Koch Chemie Reactivation Shampoo (RS) is a specialised acidic wash designed to remove limescale, mineral deposits and salt build-up that reduce the performance of ceramic coatings. Unlike pH neutral shampoos, RS targets stubborn inorganic contamination that dulls gloss and weakens hydrophobic behaviour.

Over time, coatings lose their slickness and water-beading due to invisible layers of mineral residue. Reactivation Shampoo breaks down these deposits, restoring clarity, gloss and the strong self-cleaning properties ceramic coatings are known for.

Restore Hydrophobic Performance

RS works by safely dissolving contamination that regular shampoos cannot remove. Once this barrier is eliminated:

• Water beading and sheeting performance improves
• Surface gloss and clarity are revitalised
• Coatings regain slickness
• Long-term coating durability is supported

Used periodically, it helps extend the life and effectiveness of ceramic coatings, keeping maintenance easier and more efficient.

Flexible Application for Maintenance Washing

Reactivation Shampoo integrates easily into a coating care routine and can be applied using:

• Foam cannon for full vehicle coverage
• Traditional two-bucket hand wash method

Ideal for both enthusiasts maintaining their own vehicles and professional detailers servicing coated customer cars.

Koch Chemie Reactivation Shampoo (RS) is an essential maintenance solution for ceramic coated vehicles - restoring performance, protecting your investment, and keeping your finish performing at its best.
