- 03Fleet wash programs reducing labor at the dry stage
Snap-beading, dryer-friendly clear coat protection for faster turns and better shine.
Operators fight two things at exit: water that won’t break and cars that don’t look finished. Slow blowdowns burn kWh and time, towels add labor and risk micro-marring, and customers judge the wash on that last 30 seconds. When beading is weak, you get spotting, callbacks, and a softer ticket.
ClearCoat Guard is a concentrated post-wash protectant built to change the surface fast. Our cationic polymer blend lays down a slick, hydrophobic film that snaps water off panels so blowers work easier and towels touch less. It’s low-foam, hard-water tolerant, and compatible with modern wash chemistry - including ceramic programs - so you can run it as a clear coat arch, a drying aid, or as a premium upsell layer without fouling the bay.
Made in Pampa, Texas, ClearCoat Guard comes out of a 30,000 sq ft facility with four decades of formulation experience. We build consistent batches, back them with real data, and ship in pails, drums, and totes. White-label ready with your brand, your fragrance/color spec, and your documentation - no distributor markup in the middle.
- Fast hydrophobe formation for quicker blowdown and fewer towel touches
- Low-foam, hard-water tolerant formula reduces spotting in challenging municipal feeds
- Cationic polymer system compatible with ceramic, sealant, and wax programs
- Concentrated for low cost-per-car at tunnel and in-bay injection ratios
- Rinse-optional performance; optimized for forced-air dry in express tunnels
For tunnels: Apply post-wash, after final rinse, via low-pressure arch or rain bar. Inject concentrate at 300-800:1 depending on water quality and desired effect. Target 1-2 oz of concentrate per vehicle as a starting point. Allow 15-45 seconds contact; do not allow to dry on hot panels. Proceed directly to forced-air drying. In very hard water, an RO spot-free mist before blowers may further reduce spotting.
For in-bay automatics or hand application: Dilute 1:128-1:256 in a pump sprayer. Apply evenly to clean, wet panels after rinse. Allow brief sheet/break, then blow dry or lightly rinse with spot-free water before drying.
Temperature: Use between 40-120°F panel temperature. In hot sun, lower concentration and shorten dwell. Adjust ratios based on blower performance, water hardness, and finish goals.
- Reduce dryer dwell time by 5-10 seconds per vehicle
- Cut manual drying by 1-2 towel touches per car
- Improve beading uniformity by 30-50% across panels
- Lower post-dry spotting complaints by 20-40% in hard water
- Increase 60° gloss readings by 3-7 GU on typical clear coats
