Kleen Pac Hyper Concentrates

[AnalyticWash]

Is there any reason why most of you guys don't just get a chemical rep/distributor instead of ordering from KR?

Then you have someone that will:
-Deliver for free
-Do your whole setup for no cost
-Generally have a better understanding of what works and what doesn't (product knowledge)

I do both. I can only order once a month from dist. Delivery isn't free anymore. They are stopping the every month titration and going to quarterly. Different chem rep is using 3rd party delivery. I use them mostly for IBA and KR for ss products.

I have never paid for delivery through KR, local rep/distributor straight up told us they can't compete with pricing. Local rep is also way over busy so communication/time of service is lacking. The wash is at where I work full time and I fully enjoy being involved with the wash as it gets me out of the office and off the phones/Computer. We barely change products so once it is set up, its most likely going to be years until we make another change.

The KR Ultra Concentrates mini PAKS are OK. We tried AquaGuard, Graphene Blast, and one other whose name I cannot recall immediately. Pricewise they were a few cents lower per car but the Graphene we purchase from our ChemQuest rep gives a better shine and show to the customer so we are moving back to Zenith (Graphene). Will use use up the KR PAKs in our SS bays.

Rep told me years ago that he provides a valuable service and operators are willing to pay for it with higher prices (Than KR) He said "You don't need the service" So the higher price couldn't be justified. Had at least 6 reps tell me they could match KR price / CPC . 1 did it with one product. The rest failed and some were lucky to escape unscathed.

With Kleenrite refusing to not use Tforce for my freight I got my first batch of Blue Coral High PH presoak in their hyperpaks. I am glad I have been direct with BC for years. I can also get the Armor All professional line. I know how to titrate and know where I want to be to clean a car. I will have to see how it compares cost wise but it is looking promising.

Hhow's the ceramic and fraph

Just got our Hyper ceramic and Graphene in, will update Friday of next week on performance. Reorganized the equipment room and I must say if the performance is good my equipment room will have a lot more space since the hypers take up so much less space. We use pulsatrons so our wash can handle such high dilution ratios. If the performance is good might try the presoaks in hyper as well.

How's the ceramic and graphene performing?

We have had terrible weather this week which is when I started using the Ceramic, so very few cars with the rain. Ill report back next week when we have a better idea.
