Looking for differences between 1-Step and 2-Step Washing? Check out our blog here! If you are going to be washing trucks, trailers, and other heavy equipment, the tried and true question always becomes, “What’s the right fleet washing method for me?” Well, it depends on many factors. There are basically three options which are 1-Step (Touchless), 1-Step + Brushing,…
You might not know it, but you’ve used a form of the 1-Step truck washing process many times before. Imagine you’re at home, washing your car this weekend. You put some soap into a bucket of water and scrub away all of the grime before getting out the garden hose and rinsing it all away. In our world, that right there would be a 1-Step + Brushing process. Now, that…
Fleet wash consistency is one of the most important things in the fleet washing world. Think of it like ordering a Big Mac; you expect the same, quality product every time you order no matter where you are or what time of year it is. Having consistency allows you to make better decisions. No longer will you be guessing how much soap to use or what kind of water is…
TDS is an abbreviation for Total Dissolved Solids (in a liquid), including organic and inorganic substances. TDS is generally expressed in parts per million (ppm). The TDS measurement is a better reflection of the total mineral content of the water rather than an exact measure of water hardness.
As winter approaches, area road departments begin gearing up for another season of battling Mother Nature’s fury - snow storms. The best way to do this is heavy applications of road salt. Unfortunately, the salt can wreak havoc on your fleet and its multiple coats of paint. So how do you neutralize road salt and keep your salt trucks safe?
With winter already here, cities are being forced to put down salt (and its alternatives) much earlier than normal. This is going to extend the corrosion season and increase the chances of doing damage to vehicle frames and undercarriages. While we always encourage regular washing, it can be especially important during winter.
With colder weather quickly arriving, here’s a reminder and some quick tips for washing in winter conditions. With inconsistent weather patterns and cooler temperatures, you might notice an increase of the amount of soap needed to get that same summer clean – this is normal!
Producing results with a touchless wash system can be the same as solving a math problem with multiple variables. In our industry, balancing the formula means you get clean vehicles & equipment.
For the maximum efficiency and consistent touchless & brushless results, a 2-Step detergent application using higher pressure soap application is ideal. Our 2-Step detergents combined with the high pressure of our 2-Step System helps to maximize soap pressure, increase the speed of application & rinsing while reducing dwell time between soaps (without drying).
