Advances in car wash chemistry are occurring at a fast rate as the industry has grown significantly. Check out some of these recently released chemicals that will take your car wash to the next level!
Kleen-Rite ALL SYSTEMS Low pH Polymer Presoak
The perfect companion for our previously-released ALL SYSTEMS Hi pH Polymer Presoak, this new formulation works great as a stand-alone or as the first step in a true low pH/high pH two-step presoak.
Polymers are large molecule chains that grab, lift, and encapsulate dirt. They are slow-moving, which helps to prevent redepositing of soil during the cleaning process. Utilizing both low and high pH polymers in a two-step presoak process allows the low pH presoak to attack dirt, dust, and salts while the high pH attacks the man-made materials including dust, dirt, scale, and more. Low pH helps to provide a better gleam on glass and chrome in the process, for an all-over shine.
Working with the new ALL SYSTEMS Low pH Polymer Presoak allows your customers to take advantage of features including:
- Reduced dwell time
- DOT non-corrosive
- No extra heating required
- No offensive chemical/acid smell to your customers
You can find the new Low pH Polymer Presoak under item number KR5205L.
Simoniz Ceramic Sealant
Another development from the team at Simoniz, this brand-new formulation is diamond-tough and hydrophobic.
Simoniz Ceramic Sealant utilizes a ceramic polymer that bonds with the vehicle’s paint, creating a layer of durable protection. This layer protects the vehicle’s surface from the ultraviolet rays of the sun, while being resistant to etching, staining, and environmental acidic elements. The ceramic coating helps to make it difficult for grime and mud to stick to the vehicle, while at the same time causing water to bead up and run off faster, resulting in less spotting when it dries.
In addition to the protective qualities provided by the sealant, it also improves the reflective qualities of the paint itself, as well as the underlying clear coat. Your customers will like the fact that the ceramic polymer lends itself to a longer-lasting shine that stays true for weeks after a wash.
Kleen-Rite offers a Simoniz Ceramic Sealant start package that includes:
- New ceramic arch with bold graphics and LED side
panels - Dosatron pump station, dual 12 port manifolds
and nozzle system - Marketing materials include 2 Windmaster inserts
and drum covers - 30-gallon drum of Simoniz Ceramic Sealant
We also provide 5-gallon, 30-gallon, and 55-gallon units for refilling your system or expanding your capacity. This new technology from Simoniz can bring your wash an entirely new profit center for your tunnel operation!
