Guideline Formulations

5 rim cleaner

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The oleic esterquat offers an excellent hydrophobicity, assuring the transparency of the formulation at the same time. It is usually formulated in combination with the fatty ester (EXCEPARL® HO). D-145 is a simple but well performing formulation for the needs of certain tunnels. Formulation D-146, is recommended if a higher concentration of hydrophobics is required. D-170 is a premium rinse-aid formulation.

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.
