02 / Why this exists

Your vehicle is the most expensive thing parked in the sun.

Other ceramic soaps are designed in Ohio for cars driven in Ohio. Bahama is designed in Lake Forest for vehicles that live outside in 108°F weather and never see a garage. We built this for people who actually drive in the Sun Belt. Hence: the SunShield™ molecule.

02b / Designed for the cup holder

All about the little details.

The bottle was engineered specifically for car enthusiasts. Modeled after the iconic AriZona iced tea can, every Bahama bottle fits exactly into a standard vehicle cup holder · that’s why the volume is unconventional. Custom-developed, ergonomic, anti-slip grip. The bottle came first; the fill matched the bottle.

  • Cup-holder fitDrops into any standard automotive cup holder.
  • AriZona-can profileTall, narrow, instantly recognizable.
  • Ergonomic anti-slip gripCustom-developed for wet hands and detailing days.
  • 24 fl oz / 710 mlVolume sized to the bottle, not the other way around.

03 / SunShield™

The chemistry, in three molecules.

Cn / Sheet 1

Graphene.
Impact armor.

A single-atom carbon lattice 200× stronger than steel. We disperse it through the formula so it lays flat on your clear coat · a structural layer that takes the hit before paint does.

SiO₂ / Liquid glass

SiO₂.
Hydrophobic gloss.

Silicon dioxide · the molecule glass is made of, in liquid form. Cross-links with the clear coat at 110° contact angle. Water cannot wet it. The shine is the side effect of the chemistry.

UVA / UVB / 290-400nm

SunShield™.
UV defense.

Proprietary UV absorbers built into every Bahama formula. They sit above the clear coat and eat the wavelengths that turn red trucks pink and dashboards into dust. Nobody else does this.

04 / Cross-section

Three layers between your paint and the sun.

Stack analysis

Three layers.
Two weeks of UV defense.
One bottle.

Most ceramic sprays put one layer down · the SiO₂. Bahama lays graphene first, SiO₂ second, SunShield UV on top. That’s why UV protection holds for two weeks and graphene restoration keeps the finish looking new long after.

Wash. Don’t ritualize.

STEP 01

STEP 02

Foam

2 oz Bahama into a foam cannon. Coat the vehicle. Dwell 4 minutes.

STEP 03

Mitt

Two-bucket method. Top to bottom. The foam carries grit so the mitt doesn’t scratch.

Survives a SoCal summer.

"My TRX lives in the driveway. Every other ceramic burnt off by August. Bahama is the first one that’s still beading at the end of the season. The pink looks tacky online, looks badass on the car."

Same bottle, three vehicles.

"I have a Tacoma, a KTM 350, and a Polaris RZR. I went from a shelf full of half-empty crap to three Bahama bottles. The Tropic Mist is a vibe."

911 still looks new at year-end.

"Yellow paint is the worst for fading. My 991 GTS lives in a SoCal garage. End of summer, no oxidation, no haze. The UV claim is real."

Foam, finish, beading. Done.

"Saturday wash with the cannon, ten minutes including the rinse. Beads are still rolling on the way home from work the following Friday."

09 / Field Notes

Questions we
actually get.

Can I use it on the dirt bike too?+

Yes. Mega Foaming Soap is engineered to be safe on raw plastics, race graphics, anodized aluminum, and chain wax. The Whole Garage promise, same bottle on the truck, the bike, and the side-by-side.

Will it remove an existing ceramic coating?+

No. It's pH-neutral and will not strip professional coatings. Use it as your maintenance wash on top of any ceramic, including someone else's.

What's the dilution ratio?+

Foam cannon: 2 oz to 32 oz water. Hand wash bucket: 1 oz per gallon. The 24 oz bottle is good for about six full washes on a full-size pickup.

Why pink?+

Because every other detailing brand on the shelf is red, blue, or black. Pink is a color you spot from across the parking lot, and that's the entire point.

What is Tropic Mist?+

A signature scent across the entire Bahama line, coconut, sea air, citrus. It lingers about 24 hours after you wash. We do not make it stronger because that's how a wash starts smelling like a candle store.
