Does ph Even Matter?

Does the pH of a car soap actually matter as much as people think? I've been getting questions about this for a couple years now because Super Soaper has been tested straight out of the bottle at a much higher pH than what people expect from the product in actual use. In this video I break down the difference between testing a concentrated product in the bottle versus what is actually hitting the surface of your car once it's diluted through a foam cannon and pressure washer.

I also explain what I mean when I call Super Soaper "functional foam."

The goal was never just to make thick foam. The goal was to make foam that actually helps clean, loosen contamination, and do meaningful work before you ever touch the paint.

We also talk about why pH by itself doesn't tell the whole story, and why dilution, contact time, surfactants, concentration, and intended use all matter too.
