We had a blast at this year's Wash and Learn Midwest! It was a privilege to help with the education and training at the show this year. We love teaching contractors how fleet washing can add a steady stream of income to their business. It was great to meet so many of you and help you find new ways to win.

Want a soap that is tough on grime but easier on your gear and your crew?

Our #1 Citric Presoak Special gives you the aggressive cleaning power you need for heavy-duty fleet washing. But it does it with fewer hazards than other tough soaps. It has 3-4 times less HF and no sulfuric acid.

We call this "long-term protection" for your business. It protects trucks from that dull, white look and protects your equipment from corrosion. Most importantly, it is a safer choice for the people doing the work. Pair it with #2 Surefire for a 2-step wash that gets the job done right.

Tired of streaks ruining a clean wash?

Hydro-Sheen is an extremely concentrated spray wax alternative and rinse aid. It promotes water beading, reduces hand drying, and can be blended with soaps to boost shine. Clean more in less time.

Don't let your fleet washing land you in hot water!

Even if you’re using biodegradable soaps or neutralizing products in a 2-step wash, you must prevent all runoff from entering storm drains or water sources.

Wash water runoff contains many contaminants that can adversely affect water treatment facilities and intake/discharge systems, as well as plant & aquatic life.

Depending on where you’re at, you may be able to divert wash water from storm drains or streams and filter through landscape. Wash sites may also require full recovery & disposal of water through reclaim systems or containment mats or potentially moving vehicles to a wash bay or wash pad.

Have a plan in place to control your wash water. Check with local officials as well as discuss any site-specific regulations for your wash locations.
