I am very pleased with JBS fonic wash citrus ( low ph) followed by aquamatrix ( also by JBS) . These products are tailored more for hard water .The wash quality was OK but my OCD kicked in and i bought a water softener AND increased soaking time ( to 30 sec).The wash quality improved then impoved significantly. .I am currently operating 2 washworld touchless autos with this stepup . Im not sure if the water softener or the dwell time had the biggest impact in improving wash quality . Imho fees for these presoaks are reasonable. I have no financial connection with jbs other than being a paying customer .

I'm surprised you use a dwell that long.
I think at 30 seconds most of my customers would be honking the horn or pulling out of the bay, thinking the equipment had malfunctioned.
I have been using a powdered presoak with good results. I run 2 passes of high ph with 10 sec. dwell between the 2.

You might also try Armor All's Heavy Duty Alkaline Presoak. I've had great results with it. I can use a dual injector and mix it with their alkalinr booster, and then eliminate the acid presoak. Down here in FL they have a try it before you buy it program, and can even throw in free signage. Yes i sell it, but I do so because it works.

Blue Demon by Stone Soap Co. Located in Michigan. We apply a one pass approx 4-6 oz. per vehicle. dwell time 45 secs. Cleans paint, windows and chrome extremely well.
yes , i use a long dwell time but since we installed a vendor ( thanks jim holve!) just in front of autocashier that dispenses wet wipes ( and other detailing products/ coupons) most customers are cleaning inside of their car during wash . the product is dispensed when wash is initiated.--[signal from goldline to modified Shurvend vendor-/- jim and i worked together to create this unique item]---anyway, we dispense different products depending on the wash package }. It helps that we have 2 autos side by side. ~~~
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but what other Stone Soap products are you using, and do you like them?
Thanks - I appreciate it.
Can the Golden Glo Sealer bead enough to act as a drying agent if I can only use one product?
