WashChem
SaraWest HighLift is the first chemical hit in the wash process. It is built to break down traffic film, oil, grease, exhaust residue, bugs, road grime, and organic soil before the main wash begins. It helps operators get a cleaner vehicle with less brush pressure, less rewash risk, and better final shine.

Hit grime first: high-pH presoak that lifts film fast and lowers brush load.
Throughput drops when the first pass misses. Winter mag chloride, oily film, bug shells, and diesel haze cling tight. You crank brush pressure, gamble on friction, and still see striping, carryover, and rewashes that crush car-per-hour targets. Prep techs chase trouble spots, foam costs climb, and reclaim variability or hard water make results swing day to day.
HighLift Alkaline Pre Soak is a high‑pH builder,surfactant system engineered to break bonds before the wash pack. It solvates petroleum soils, softens organic load, and uses fast‑wetting amphoterics to penetrate traffic film. Chelation and scale inhibitors keep performance high in hard or reclaimed water. Controlled foam gives coverage without starving downstream chemistry. The rinse‑friendly emulsion package strips soils clean, reducing redeposit and letting your brushes work lighter.
Formulated and batched in our 30,000 sq ft Pampa, Texas plant, HighLift is backed by four decades of cleaning chemistry. Every lot is QC‑verified for alkalinity, actives, and consistency. Ship it in pails, drums, or totes under your brand - our white‑label program supports custom dye, scent, labeling, and documentation so your line looks sharp and performs the same in July heat or January slush.
- High‑pH builder system cracks petroleum film and organic soil fast.
- Chelators and scale inhibitors hold hardness for consistent cleaning.
- Controlled foam coats evenly without starving downstream chemistry.
- Rinse‑friendly emulsion minimizes redeposit and boosts final shine.
- Built to perform in reclaim loops and cold‑bay operations.
Tunnel or IBA presoak arch: Meter to a 1:64-1:96 final dilution (about 2-1.3 oz/gal). For heavy soil or touchless assist, run 1:20-1:40 final (6.4-3.2 oz/gal). Apply low pressure, full coverage from rocker panels to rear glass.
Allow 30-60 seconds dwell; do not let product dry. Warm feed water at 100-120°F accelerates action; in cold bays (40-60°F), extend dwell and/or increase strength. Rinse with high pressure (1200-2000 psi) before main detergent or friction. For prep guns, dilute 1:8-1:16 and spot‑treat bug fronts, rocker panels, and exhaust tips.
Use on painted surfaces, glass, and plastics. Avoid applying to hot surfaces or raw/polished aluminum at strong concentrations; if contact occurs, rinse immediately. Always tune dosage to local water hardness and reclaim conditions.
- 15-30% fewer rewashes on heavy soil days
- 20-40% lower brush pressure while holding clean scores
- 8-15 seconds less manual prep time per vehicle
- Up to 5-10% reduction in downstream detergent use
- More uniform first‑pass clean across hard/reclaim water
Distributors stack margin on water and dye. We build actives that move soil. Buying factory‑direct from Pampa, TX cuts markup and lets you spec the chemistry, not just the label. Our formulators tune alkalinity, wetting, and chelation to your water, equipment, and climate, then batch‑QC every run. The result: predictable cleaning, real cost‑per‑car control, and your brand on the drum, not someone else’s.
