Looking for recommendations for a concentrated wash soap concentrate that has enhanced surfactant properties to use with a pressure washer. Preferably biodegradable, ph balanced, won't strip wax, and concentrated to at least 6:1.

I'll review my car wash process, because it is likely different than most and creates a different soap requirement. Not looking for opinions on the process as it is controversial, but has worked for me and have been doing it for years.

My car wash method has been not to use a wash mitt or do any hand washing or drying. This allows the quickest wash and ensures I'm not marring the paint, especially on the black cars. Entire process takes about 30 minutes or less including interior, jambs, etc. Understand that my cars aren't very dirty when I wash them and don't get driven in the rain.

Wash Process:

1. Use a spray on Enzyme product by DP on wheels and lower trim and/front bumper if needed for bug, tar, etc. if needed--let sit while setting up next step.
2. Rinse car with pressure washer (white nozzle/tip) with pressure turned down to around 1200-1500 psi
3. Dispense soap through pressure washer with black tip/nozzle over entire car (currently using CG product)
4. Rinse entire car with white nozzle
5. Dry with 1600 CFM backpack blower
6. Go over car with MF and an anti-static QD (FK 425 or CG ESS).

Thank you! I knew we'd have an expert on here that would know! preciat'd!

Id take a look at Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Clear, Glossworkz, and Maxi Suds II as well.

 

I'll check those out and have been a fan of their QD ESS, but hopefully you aren't on CG P/R.

 

I follow the same exact wash process except I do not use the MF after.

I find the car is 95% of a hand wash with no marring and it is faster.

Maxi Suds II is great, I also have Citrus Wash but find it does not "sud" as much and may remove more wax.

 

Thanks for the input!

wow -that's cool - didn't expect to hear of many other's using this process...

Those that have observed the process have become big fans as it comes out so clean, so fast without touching the car!

 

Yeah, I think my neighbors think I'm nuts when they see the foam gun and especially the blower!!

I actually foam, let it sit for 5 minutes then rinse and foam again.

 

Haha, definitely not. Actually not really a fan of their products. But your requests match the descriptions of those soaps very well.
