Why Car Washes Might Be Scamming You with SOAP

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The science of soap. We sample the fluids coming out of a car wash sprayer and look at how it sticks or doesn't stick to your car. Is it there to clean or is it there to protect? Jeremiah Burton is going to run a couple experiments to find out the truth for you.

A fair amount, but not all of it, is laundry and/or dish detergent Edit: we sell close to 50 tons of soap a week to car washes.

    My Dad was a touchfree carwash installer / maintenance guy. He would use his F250 van to test the washes. The van had 350k Ohio miles and not a speck of rust. The decals looked really worn and cracked, but the paint looked great. The van was never hand waxed. Alot of science really does go into the detergents and spray wax. It's not the best deal, but if you want to keep your car nice, and value your time at about $20/hr, it is a great deal. Even more so in the middle of the winter.

    Great episode dude. Thanks for breaking it down so people understand what’s going on at the wash. As a car wash owner I will say you got one thing wrong. The tri foam is designed to do the things you said but it also acts as a lubricating agent to help the blowers dry the car thoroughly. It’s an important piece to providing a clean car along with spot free water which has no minerals in it for the final rinse.

    As a former carwash manager, most of what was involved in the higher end car washes is more protection based and not necessarily extra cleaning. Things like tire dressing, protective coatings that will help water bead and that sort of thing. How long would you like the car to stay more protected.

    My tunnel was a giant chemistry experiment. I had really hard water, and Stone Soap in Sylvan Lake, MI set me up with a shampoo and drying agent that complimented one another. It made a pretty big difference, but was very expensive. I had a tiny 50ft tunnel, so I only had one foam wax arch, and that was one of their tri foam "conditioners". I chose the green. They had two varies of tri foams. One that contributed to the cleaning, and another that had actual carnauba wax. I chose the line that cleaned more because my location was where a lot of muddy cars went to. My former emoyer in the industry also had a simar philosophy.

    @@07wrxtr1 - I love CarPro Cquk 3.0. I've also used their Lite, which is like UK Jr, and even that coating is super durable, especially for a six month + durability raring. That being said, Optimum Gloss Coat is in my #1 spot. Reason # 1 - It reduced the tunnel wash damage for one of my clients. Reason # 2 - It's a lot easier to work with. Reason # 3 - All of my other maintenance products are by Optimum. Their No Rinse car wash, their Opti-Clean waterless wash, and their Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer. I can also use their Car Wax, Opti-Seal, and Hyper Seal with it to no ill effect. Reason # 4 - No wasted suede applicators, or microfiber towels. Reason # 5 - No harsh fumes. No need to wear a mask or respirator. Please note that in spite of those attributes to Optimun Gloss Coat, I do keep Carpro Lite, Gliss, Skin, and UK 3.0 on hand. Excellent coatings for sure. Better than most "professional" offerings.

    Awesome explanation. You got it pretty well figured out! We have different packages, and each package contains very different services. We use high pH presoak, high pH foam, three different wax options, a low pH foam, two wheel cleaner options, and three drying agents/ polymer seal options. All of our chemical products are tested extensively for performance and safety. I can't speak for every carwash, of course but here's a good tip- If the carwash is clean, it means the operator cares. Don't use a carwash that stinks, or is visibly dirty.

    This isn't a recommendation but for twenty years I worked in a lab. When you see pictures of laboratory technicians working with fancy glassware remember all that stuff needs cleaning. One place I worked at had dump trucks - a lab and dump trucks, an interesting combination. One day a driver came by the lab asking if I had any detergent. He wanted to wash his truck. I gave him Alconox, the detergent we used to wash glassware. He raved about it, said the paint shone like new. The word spread and soon I was having to order more Alconox. I never tried it on my own car, but yeah, what detergent you use can make a big difference.

  • @CRneu

    alconox is somewhat bad for the environment, in that it shouldn't be discharged into the water. so preferably don't use it for everyday tasks. It contains phosphates which cause issues. So if anyone sees this and thinks, "Oh i'll order alconox to clean my car." please dont. Just....like please dont. Anything you use with alconox needs to be treated/neutralized before discharging into the drain.

    As someone who works at a car wash, it really comes down to the chemicals.

So it really comes down to what the company uses

    The wash at my location was a 100% reclaim system meaning we did not have a sewer system to discharge into. Due to this our BioReactors could not digest the red dye so the three waxes were applied, blue, yellow and white. Also, car washes are just a basic maintenance wash which is very good at keeping the dirt granules off the surface. To remove all dirt you manually have to remove it and don’t pay for wax every time as it just seals in the dirt. Look at your windshield and this will be apparent.

    I used to work at a local car wash in the area for a few years, and ever since I worked there I have never brought my car through a car wash again, and that was 4 years ago now. I've only stuck to handwashing with microfiber towels. After seeing all of the dirt that builds up on the bristles in the car wash tunnel throughout each day, along with the algae that begins to grow on them, my god it was bad. One thing I noticed as well was the regulars that would often come into that carwash had marred up paint with tons of swirl marks in the sunlight. After that, never again.

    Can anyone fill me in on the “Jeremiah is 21” quote in the video, isn’t he like 35, with several engineering degrees and years of industry experience?

    I think is a recurring joke, as him being 21 has been mentioned a couple of times in the last B2B videos

    Idk why I'm so bothered by the fact that the spots on the hood where the Gopros were suction cupped on weren't getting cleaned going through the car wash lol.

    Same. You're not alone. Also washing one on the cheap and one on the expensive side. Just pick a side but never mix it up! OCD at it's finest.

    Im happy to see someone brake down the science that goes on in a car wash. Sadly it's a little out of the majority. Mostly due to a very small amount of touch less car washes. Add to that how tri foam is going out of style. In favor of three individual applications/stages in order to have a better wash quality. The paint tech, high and low ph, and the need for friction are all highlighted here and im very happy about that. Thank you donut media 🙏

    work at a non-touch-free car wash, we spray the wraps every night but that doesn't prevent the blue-when-new fingers from being stained black! :)
