SOTIRIS ® - AVALANCHE - HIGH-FOAMING SHAMPOO

Avalanche High-Foam Shampoo

Built for those who expect perfection, Avalanche is a dedicated pH-neutral shampoo that merges power, safety, and feel into one wash experience. Every drop is crafted to glide effortlessly across paint, delivering the kind of slickness that detailers call the slickest on the market -smooth, satisfying, and genuinely protective.

Avalanche isn’t just designed to clean; it’s made to transform how your wash feels. The formula balances exceptional lubricity with precision cleaning chemistry, ensuring dirt lifts away without dulling your finish or touching your protection layers.

What Makes Avalanche Different

• True pH-Neutral Formula – Safe for all coatings, waxes, and sealants while offering powerful cleaning strength that doesn’t compromise surface integrity.

• Unmatched Slickness – The shampoo’s ultra-lubricated composition makes wash mitts glide effortlessly, minimizing friction and reducing swirl risk even on the most delicate paint.

• Deep-Cleaning Performance – Loosens and removes grime, dust, and traffic film with ease while staying gentle enough for weekly use.

• Radiant Shine Every Time – Leaves behind a clean, glossy surface that looks freshly detailed with a mirror-like glow after each rinse.

• Rich, Dense Foam Output – Produces heavy, clingy suds in foam cannons or buckets, enhancing contact time and lifting away contaminants more effectively.

• Highly Concentrated – A small amount creates massive foam volume, delivering both premium results and lasting value.

• Safe for Every Surface – Ideal for paint, glass, trim, plastic, chrome, and even wheels - one product for your entire wash process.

• Invigorating Mountain Breeze Scent – Crisp, refreshing, and clean — turning every wash into something more like therapy than maintenance. The scent lingers lightly in the air and leaves your workspace smelling fresh long after you’re done.

The Avalanche Experience

The moment you pour it into your bucket or foam cannon, you’ll notice the rich, silky texture and instant suds explosion. As it blankets your car in a sea of foam, the scent of Mountain Breeze sets the mood - clean, cool, and energizing.
Once your mitt hits the surface, Avalanche’s lubrication takes over, creating a glide so slick it almost feels frictionless. As you rinse, water sheets away to reveal a glossy, reflective finish that feels smooth to the touch and shines even brighter in the sun.

Avalanche isn’t just a shampoo - it’s the feeling of satisfaction when you step back and see your car at its absolute best.

Directions for Use

Avalanche performs best when used with intention - designed for enthusiasts and professionals who appreciate precision in every wash. Follow these steps for the ultimate Avalanche experience:

1. Add Product – Pour 3–4 ounces of Avalanche into your foam cannon, or 1–2 ounces into a standard wash bucket. Adjust dilution strength based on desired foam density and water pressure.

2. Initial Foam Application – Do not pre-rinse the vehicle with water. Apply a generous layer of foam directly to the dry surface. This allows the shampoo to cling better, loosening dirt and contaminants more effectively. Let it dwell for 1–2 minutes without allowing it to dry.

3. Quick Rinse – Rinse the entire vehicle thoroughly, ensuring all initial foam and loosened debris are removed from the paint surface.

4. Re-Foam – Apply a second layer of foam and allow it to dwell for 10–20 seconds to restore full lubrication before performing a contact wash.

5. Contact Wash – Using a two-bucket method (one for soapy water, one for rinsing your mitt), gently wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Avalanche’s extreme slickness will minimize friction and the chance of introducing swirl marks.

6. Final Rinse – Rinse the vehicle thoroughly to remove any shampoo residue. Ensure all foam and suds are fully cleared from seams and trim areas.

7. Drying – Finish by drying the vehicle completely using the Sotiris Bandit Drying Towel for a spotless, streak-free finish and a surface that feels glass-smooth.

Important Notes

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: While Avalanche is designed to be forgiving, washing in direct sunlight may cause the product to dry prematurely. If it does, there’s no risk of paint damage, though light water marks may appear that can be easily removed during drying.

• Low Spotting Potential: Thanks to its balanced surfactant system, Avalanche has a very low chance of leaving spots even if it briefly sun-dries — but for the best results, wash in the shade or on cool panels whenever possible.

• Best Practice: Always work panel by panel in warm conditions and rinse thoroughly before the soap begins to dry.
