Fleet Wash

Commercial truck washing typically uses two categories of chemistry. High-pH alkaline detergents break down organic soils like exhaust deposits, road film, bugs, and grease on painted surfaces. Low-pH acid presoaks target inorganic materials like road salt, mineral buildup, and oxidation on metal. Fleet Wash is a concentrated high-pH truck wash chemical designed for painted truck and trailer exteriors, delivering high-foaming brushless cleaning when applied with a pressure washer or foam cannon.

A 1-step truck wash uses a single alkaline detergent to remove organic road film and grime in one pass. A 2-step process adds a low-pH acid presoak as the first step to dissolve road salt and mineral deposits before the alkaline wash completes the clean. Fleet Wash is a 1-step high-pH alkaline truck cleaning chemical suited for painted surfaces. For operations that also need aluminum brightening, pair it with a separate acid-based presoak as part of a full 2-step fleet wash program.

Yes. Fleet Wash is formulated for use in foam cannons, pressure washers, and manual spray applications. When applied through a foam cannon at the foaming dilution ratios (4 to 6 oz per gallon corrective, 2 to 3 oz per gallon preventive), the high-foaming formula produces thick, clinging foam that dwells on truck and trailer surfaces to loosen road film and exhaust deposits before rinsing. No scrubbing is required for touchless foam cannon application.

Most commercial fleet operators wash trucks weekly or bi-weekly depending on route type, climate, and haul conditions. Trucks running winter routes with road salt exposure need more frequent washing to prevent corrosion. A concentrated fleet wash chemical with adjustable dilution ratios, lower for weekly preventive maintenance, higher for corrective cleaning after heavy soil buildup, helps manage cost per wash across high-volume fleet washing schedules.

Fleet Wash is formulated for painted truck and trailer surfaces, metal, rubber, plastic, and glass. It removes exhaust deposits and road film without damaging painted finishes when used at the recommended dilution ratios. It is not an acid-based brightener and will not etch or dull aluminum. For aluminum brightening, a separate low-pH acid presoak product is required. Always follow the dilution instructions and rinse thoroughly before the product dries on any surface.
