Why car wash chemicals matter more than you think
When people think of a car wash, they often picture shiny equipment and smooth operations. But behind every sparkling finish is one of the most important, and often overlooked components, the chemicals.
At Erling, we know that the quality of your car wash chemicals can make or break the customer experience. That’s why we specialize in top-tier chemical solutions from Quest Car Care Products, a trusted name in the industry.
Recently, our team completed a new build installation in Pflugerville, Texas, using Quest’s cutting-edge Chem Genie Chemicals. Why Chem Genie? It’s simple, this ultra-concentrated chemical line is changing the game. Here’s how:
-
Less labor and fewer refills
Chem Genie lasts 2 to 4 times longer than traditional car wash chemicals, cutting down refill frequency and labor costs. -
Lower shipping costs
The concentrated formula means fewer shipments, reducing both cost and environmental impact. -
Smart, safe packaging
The jug design prevents spills and chemical exposure while fitting easily into Quest’s “keep full” reservoirs—saving time, space, and headaches.
