When cleaning cars are your core service, it is critical to invest in the right chemicals to deliver a consistent clean, dry, and shiny vehicle for your customers. One particularly vulnerable part of the automobile is the exterior paint finish. It’s the first thing customers see when a car comes out of the car wash, so it is crucial to properly clean and prep the exterior surfaces before applying any finishing products. High-quality car wash equipment and effective cleaning products are vital in delivering a clean, dry, and shiny car.
What to look for in Quality Chemicals?
Industry insiders look for products that are consistent with performance and usage level. Product characteristics such as foam thickness or density and coverage, colour, scent, glossy finish, lubricity, viscosity, wetting and level of the tire shine are essential features in vehicle cleaning products. A key indicator that quality chemicals are used is the condition of the vehicle once it exits the wash. The car should be clean with enhanced surface shine, and the glass should not show an eyebrow. The tires should be free of dirt, brake dust, and grease. Lastly, there should be no new scratches, stains, or blemishes on the car.
Poor Quality Car Wash Chemicals
The leading indicator of poor quality car wash chemical is a lack of formula stability. When this happens, the chemical splits into two or more layers and leaves undesirable residue, dirt, and road film on the vehicle. Other warning signs include gelling, cloudiness, haziness, crystallization, and abnormal or foul odors. These indicate formula instability, an improper balance of raw materials, or poor formula preservation, which can affect your overall customer satisfaction and sales.
