the washing process
1
pre-wash
anionic surfactants
During the first step most of the grime, road-film and large dirt particles are removed
from the paintwork by spraying a high alkaline solution over the car in combination with
the high pressure effect. The solution contains chemicals that begin loosening the
roughest dirt which will be later removed entirely by means of the products applied in
later steps , together with the action of the brushes. After the pre-wash, the surface of
the car is wet down and prepared for the application of the detergents.
The cleaning power required for the pre-wash is highly dependent on the degree and
nature of dirt, which varies among different geographical zones, seasons and type of
vehicle to be washed.
active foam
2
The combination of foam-forming surfactants, water and air creates a dense lather that
covers the paintwork entirely, acting intensively during this period. Active foam ensures an
outstanding cleaning action, while gently breaking down the dirt which has been left
behind, carrying it away from the surface. The dirt is kept in suspension, which facilitates
rinsing later. The chemical mixture typically contains some coloring agent, to make the
foam more obvious and pleasing to the eye.

amphoteric surfactants
The shampoo plays an important role. Besides cleaning, it softens the surface of the
paintwork, thereby maximizing the mechanical action of the brushes and protecting
it from scratching. After applying the shampoo, the surface takes the acidic
character, which necessary for the optimal performance of the rinse-aid agent.
polishing
4
Polishing is usually optional in most carwash tunnels. The objective of this step is to cover
the scratches that the paintwork might have, providing an even surface. This process,
apart from protecting, leaves the surface in better physical condition for applying the
rinse-aid and protection waxes.

rim cleaner
Trademark
Rims are particularly prone to dirt from the abrasive wear of the braking system. The rims
should therefore be cleaned regularly, not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also
because of the possible damage that can be caused by abrasion particles “burning” into
the rims. The effect of the wheel brushes in standard automatic carwashes, are generally
not efficient. A specific chemical cleaner is often required.

rinse-aid
6
All formulations have been submitted succesfully at 1month stability at 5ºC/RT/40ºC.
This chemical blend, thanks to its hydrophobic character, reduces the surface tension
of the water remaining from the rinse-off detergents; which creates an instantaneous
water layer break. The water shrinks, forming large drops that are easily carried away
from the paintwork by the effect of the blower. An efficient rinse-aid agent helps to
reduce spotting and minimum wipe-down time can be achieved.
blower
This cleaning sequence can be applied to both automatic tunnels and roll-overs. However, these can take
different configurations and may offer more complex cleaning programs than the explained here.

For the toughest grime, D-138 offers the most outstanding solution. Containing DANOX® DB-1, the
emulsifying properties are enhanced and the cleaning power of the formulation makes it a secure option for
all kinds of dirt. D-137 is the ideal choice for a lower level of demand, without renouncing the quality of
surfactants.
Dilution for manual application can range from 0.5% to 5%. For automatic wash, regulate the pump flow to
have the same concentration as in manual. Leave the dilution in contact with the surface for two or three
minutes, and rinse it off completely with water.

When it comes to generating foam, the mixture of anionic surfactants is an effective and low-priced
alternative (D-141). A more sophisticated foam, with higher quality and cleaning properties, can be
achieved with the formulation D-143 thanks to the effect of the cocamidopropyl betaine. By adjusting the
air/water ratio of the dossification pump, the foam volume ca be controlled.

Should it become necessary to compensate a high pH of the waste water resulting from previous steps,
an acidic shampoo has to be used (D-140). It also leaves the surface in the optimal condition for the
rinse-aid application. If there are no pH restrictions, D-139 becomes a good alternative.

AKYPO® GENE KTS is a mixture of an ether carboxylate and a
polymer that has a good cleaning action. Within a short time it
dries into hard, solid needles that can easily be removed with a
rag or by vacumming. It can be applied with a propellant,
becoming an ideal product for the upholstery cleaning.
Carnauba wax is widely known for its surface protection
properties. It also has a leveling effect, giving a glossy and new
apperance to the surface.
D-142 combines an excellent foam volume with a very high degreasing power, enhanced by the presence
of EMANON® XLF, a last generation surfactant.
The almost neutral pH assures maximum protection of the paintwork and the skin.

all kinds of dirt. D-137 is the ideal choice for a lower level of demand, without renouncing the quality of
surfactants.
Dilution for manual application can range from 0.5% to 5%. For automatic wash, regulate the pump flow to
have the same concentration as in manual. Leave the dilution in contact with the surface for two or three
minutes, and rinse it off completely with water.

When it comes to generating foam, the mixture of anionic surfactants is an effective and low-priced
alternative (D-141). A more sophisticated foam, with higher quality and cleaning properties, can be
achieved with the formulation D-143 thanks to the effect of the cocamidopropyl betaine. By adjusting the
air/water ratio of the dossification pump, the foam volume ca be controlled.

the washing process
1
pre-wash
anionic surfactants
During the first step most of the grime, road-film and large dirt particles are removed
from the paintwork by spraying a high alkaline solution over the car in combination with
the high pressure effect. The solution contains chemicals that begin loosening the
roughest dirt which will be later removed entirely by means of the products applied in
later steps , together with the action of the brushes. After the pre-wash, the surface of
the car is wet down and prepared for the application of the detergents.
The cleaning power required for the pre-wash is highly dependent on the degree and
nature of dirt, which varies among different geographical zones, seasons and type of
vehicle to be washed.
active foam
2
The combination of foam-forming surfactants, water and air creates a dense lather that
covers the paintwork entirely, acting intensively during this period. Active foam ensures an
outstanding cleaning action, while gently breaking down the dirt which has been left
behind, carrying it away from the surface. The dirt is kept in suspension, which facilitates
rinsing later. The chemical mixture typically contains some coloring agent, to make the
foam more obvious and pleasing to the eye.

amphoteric surfactants
The shampoo plays an important role. Besides cleaning, it softens the surface of the
paintwork, thereby maximizing the mechanical action of the brushes and protecting
it from scratching. After applying the shampoo, the surface takes the acidic
character, which necessary for the optimal performance of the rinse-aid agent.
polishing
4
Polishing is usually optional in most carwash tunnels. The objective of this step is to cover
the scratches that the paintwork might have, providing an even surface. This process,
apart from protecting, leaves the surface in better physical condition for applying the
rinse-aid and protection waxes.

rim cleaner
Trademark
Rims are particularly prone to dirt from the abrasive wear of the braking system. The rims
should therefore be cleaned regularly, not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also
because of the possible damage that can be caused by abrasion particles “burning” into
the rims. The effect of the wheel brushes in standard automatic carwashes, are generally
not efficient. A specific chemical cleaner is often required.

rinse-aid

All formulations have been submitted succesfully at 1month stability at 5ºC/RT/40ºC.
This chemical blend, thanks to its hydrophobic character, reduces the surface tension
of the water remaining from the rinse-off detergents; which creates an instantaneous
water layer break. The water shrinks, forming large drops that are easily carried away
from the paintwork by the effect of the blower. An efficient rinse-aid agent helps to
reduce spotting and minimum wipe-down time can be achieved.
blower
This cleaning sequence can be applied to both automatic tunnels and roll-overs. However, these can take
different configurations and may offer more complex cleaning programs than the explained here.
