Break it Down
A low pH presoak attacks oxidation, minerals, and the negatively charged particles in road film.
Blast it Away
A high pH detergent reacts with the pre-soak to lift away oils, grease, and carbon buildup.

Common Questions
Installing an automated wash system allows private fleets to control their brand image, decrease corrosion, reduce the “cost per wash” significantly compared to outsourcing, and minimize the downtime drivers spend waiting at off-site wash facilities.
An automated wash can help with driver retention by improving their work environment; drivers take pride in operating clean equipment, and automating the process removes the difficult, wet, and manual labor of washing by hand.
Keeping the fleet clean with an automated wash reduces long-term maintenance costs by removing corrosive road salts and mud that hide hydraulic leaks or damage sensors, making pre-trip inspections easier and more effective.
It is not difficult to train drivers to use the system; our automated washes are designed for “drive-thru” simplicity, often requiring nothing more than driving slowly through the bay while the system does the rest.
