Car Wash Chemicals from Georgia Chemical

This month our product group focus will be on our Car Wash line.

Many of our products can be used with automated equipment, pressure washers, and simple hand washing, bucket, and sponge applications. Be sure to read the description of the product and know the proper dilutions for your specific equipment.

Proper dilution is the best way to get the results you want at the lowest cost possible.

Let us first look at the soaps that were made to be used in automated systems:

High Foam Cherry – As the name says, this is a high-foaming car wash with a fresh cherry scent. It was designed to be used in a drive-thru system or self-serve wash bay but can be used with a pressure washer or by hand washing as well. It rinses well and is pH-balanced. It has a wide metering range of 1:150 to 1:8000 depending on your equipment. For example, for a self-serve system, you pre-mix 1 gallon of soap to 10 gallons of water and then place that 10 gallons in the system set to meter the mix at 1:35 yielding you 350 gallons of product from that single gallon.

Foamy Brush – This product is extremely high foaming and was made for use in self-serve brush bays. It has an even stronger cherry scent than HFC. Metering dilutions are 1:150 to 1:800. It can also be used in a touchless drive-thru and is pH balanced too. It can also be ordered in three colors; red, blue, and yellow for businesses that need tri-color soap washing and is sold in a kit of three 5-gallon tight drums.

We still sell a touch less pre-soak but it is not listed on our website due to it’s not as big of a seller as our soaps are. If you need this product please call.

If you need only a moderate foaming wash for your self-serve bay wands or drive-thru then our High-Pressure Car Wash is what you would want to try. It has a nice lemon scent and is also pH-balanced and safe for painted finishes.

We also have specific products like the Foamy Tire, Spray Wax, and Rinse Aid for those consumer-added product selections for automatic, self-serve, and no-touch washes. Foamy Tire’s high foam clings well to tire walls and rims to dissolve the brake dust, grease, and road grime. Spray Wax is a lemon-scented highly concentrated product, 1 oz per 5 gallons of water. It enhances sheeting, discourages spotting, and speeds drying time. But for even more of these benefits use our Quick Dry Rinse Aid, when applied in the rinse cycle in automated systems you get even more sheeting of excess water which results in less or shorter blower time needed which can decrease your line time per vehicle.

Now on to a few of our other products;

Wash and Wax is our number-one seller for hand-wash car detailers. This highly concentrated high-foaming product has acrylic polymers that leave a great shine. The wash quickly penetrates, emulsifiers, and removes heavy dirt leaving a high gloss shine that will not spot chrome.

Bay Wash is just that a chemical to wash and clean your wash bays. This is a highly acidic product and all safety measures must be followed but this will take years off a neglected property or will keep your nice one looking great for years to come. This will clean and brighten painted block, brick, tile, vinyl, and masonry without damage when used as directed. It will remove the soap scum from walls, grease, and oils from the track lines and concrete floors that came from the passing vehicles through your system. Nothing turns a wash customer off more than seeing a dirty-looking facility. How can you clean their car when you can’t even keep your own property clean? This is a very hazardous cleaner and although it is listed in the non-automated offerings it is in no way to be applied with bare hands. Please read the MSDS and follow all safety measures with this acid product.

I hope this makes you aware of what we have to offer and if you need something we did not write about, please call, we may have it or will be able to have it made for you.

Have a great day.
