Buy TED PROFESSIONAL Active Foam
TED PROFESSIONAL Active Foam is designed for professional touchless washing of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and other vehicles. The catalog features concentrated products for self-service car washes, manual car washes, foam generators, foam kits, and professional dosing systems.
Active foam can be purchased at retail or ordered in bulk directly from TED PROFESSIONAL. The price depends on the product line, concentration, packaging, and working dilution of the product. Current prices and availability are listed in the product descriptions.
When making a selection, it’s important to consider more than just the price per canister. For a professional car wash, the most important factors are concentration, the recommended dilution ratio, and the actual amount of product used per car. A concentrated product with a higher price per liter may actually result in a lower cost per wash.
Which active foam should I choose?
There is no single formula that works for all car wash conditions. The choice depends on the equipment, water hardness, the season, the degree of soiling on the vehicles, and the required throughput of the car wash.
Active Foam for Self-Service Car Washes
For self-service car washes, consistent dosing, fast action, and predictable concentrate consumption are particularly important. With a large number of vehicles, even a small difference in product consumption can significantly affect the cost per cycle.
When making a selection, you should take into account the parameters of the dosing system, the recommended concentration of the specific foam, and the water characteristics at the site.
Active foam for a foam generator and foam kit
For a foam generator or foam kit, you must follow the manufacturer's recommended working dilution ratio. The concentration of the mixture in the tank and the concentration of the solution that actually comes into contact with the vehicle body may differ due to additional mixing with water inside the equipment.
After making the adjustments, it is recommended to test the actual concentrate consumption on several vehicles and determine the optimal settings.
Active Foam for Heavy Stains
Cars with heavy road film, greasy dirt, and traces of winter use require a formula with adequate cleaning power. Increasing the concentration of a weaker cleaner beyond the manufacturer’s recommended level will only result in wasted car care products.
Bitumen, resin, metal particles, and certain other localized contaminants may require the use of specialized cleaners and degreasers.
Active Foam for Winter Washing
During the winter, a car comes into contact with road salt, de-icing chemicals, moisture, and a thick layer of road grime. When washing the car, special attention should be paid to the sills, wheel wells, and the underside of the body.
When choosing a product for the cold season, you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the application temperature and working concentration.

How to Properly Mix Active Foam
The active foam ratio is specified by the manufacturer of the specific product. The ratio 1:3 or 1:5 describes the ratio of concentrate to water as indicated in the product instructions. Recommended ratios may vary depending on the application system.
For example, the concentration of the foam concentrate solution should not be automatically applied to the foam generator or automatic dispenser. The equipment has different flow rates and also mixes the automotive chemicals with water.
For a professional car wash, it is advisable to determine the optimal dosage experimentally within the manufacturer's recommendations:
- Prepare a solution at the recommended concentration;
- check the quality of the application;
- run a full wash cycle;
- to assess the residual road film after washing;
- determine the actual concentrate consumption per vehicle;
- Save the equipment settings.
Estimating dosages "by eye" in professional settings makes it difficult to control usage and can lead to varying results depending on the employee.
How to Use Active Foam
- Assess the condition of the vehicle. Take into account the temperature of the body and the level of dirt. Do not apply the product to an overheated surface unless the instructions specifically allow it.
- Prepare the working solution. Follow the recommended concentration for the specific product and equipment.
- Apply the active foam. The working solution should evenly cover the areas to be cleaned.
- Allow the recommended amount of time to elapse. Do not let the automotive chemicals dry on the car's body.
- Rinse the product off thoroughly. High-pressure water is used for professional washing. Special attention is paid to the sills, joints between parts, grilles, wheel wells, and other areas where dirt tends to accumulate.
- Check the results. After rinsing, check for any remaining road film and stubborn localized stains.
When using active foam, follow the specific product's instructions regarding concentration, application temperature, and exposure time.
How much active foam is needed for one car?
There is no single standard consumption rate for all products. The amount of concentrate used depends on its concentration, the type of equipment, the size of the vehicle, water hardness, the dispenser settings, and the degree of soiling.
For a car wash, it is advisable to calculate the average actual consumption for a series of vehicles:
Concentrate consumption per car = total concentrate consumption ÷ number of cars washed.
For example, if 1.2 liters of concentrate was used for 20 cars:
1,200 ml ÷ 20 = 60 ml of concentrate per car.
After that, you can determine the actual cost of car care products per wash:
Cost = amount of concentrate used × price per 1 mL of the product.
This calculation allows for a more accurate comparison of the cost-effectiveness of different active foams than simply comparing the price of a canister.

Frequently Asked Questions About Active Foam
Which active foam should you choose for a car wash?
The choice of active foam depends on the type of equipment, water hardness, the nature of the dirt, the season, and the desired cost per wash. For car washes with high vehicle throughput, the concentration of the detergent and the actual consumption of concentrate per vehicle are particularly important.
How do you properly mix active foam?
Active foam must be diluted according to the proportions specified by the manufacturer of the specific product. The working dilution ratio may vary depending on whether you are using a foam generator, a foam kit, or an automatic dosing system, so you must take the equipment’s specifications into account.
What does a 1:3 or 1:5 dilution ratio for active foam mean?
The ratio 1:3 or 1:5 indicates the ratio of concentrate to water, as specified in the instructions for the specific product. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the exact method of preparing the working solution, as the proportions may vary depending on the application system.
What type of active foam is suitable for a foam generator?
For a foam generator, you should select an active foam for which the manufacturer has specified an appropriate application method. When selecting a foam, consider the recommended dilution ratio, the foam generator’s output, pressure, water hardness, and the required cleaning power.
What kind of active foam is suitable for a self-service car wash?
For a self-service car wash, consistent dosing, predictable concentrate consumption, and effective performance during short wash cycles are important. The cleaning solution should be selected based on the dosing system, water quality, and the average level of dirt on the cars.
How much active foam is needed for one car?
There is no single standard for all active foams. Consumption depends on the concentration of the product, the type of equipment, the size of the vehicle, the dispenser settings, water quality, and the degree of soiling. At a professional car wash, it is advisable to determine the average consumption based on a series of vehicles.
How do you calculate the active foam consumption per car?
To calculate this, divide the total amount of concentrate used by the number of cars washed. For example, if 1,200 ml of concentrate was used for 20 cars, the average consumption is 60 ml per car.
How long should you leave the active foam on the car?
The exposure time is determined by the instructions for the specific product, its concentration, the surface temperature, and the washing conditions. Do not allow the working solution to dry on the car’s body.
Can active foam be applied to a hot car body?
It is not recommended to apply active foam to an overheated vehicle body unless the manufacturer specifically authorizes this method of use. High temperatures cause the solution to dry more quickly and reduce the allowable contact time with the surface.
Why doesn't active foam lather well?
Foam formation is influenced by the concentration of the working solution, the settings of the foam generator or foam kit, pressure, equipment capacity, water hardness, and the properties of the specific cleaning agent. Foam density alone does not determine the quality of cleaning.
Does water hardness affect active foam?
Yes. Calcium, magnesium, and other minerals dissolved in water can affect the performance of surfactants, foaming, and cleaning effectiveness. As a result, the same concentration of the product may produce different results depending on water quality.
Can active foam be used in the winter?
Active foam can be used in the winter, provided that the temperature guidelines and other manufacturer’s recommendations are followed. During the cold season, you should be mindful of road salt, de-icing chemicals, and thick road film, especially on the sills, wheel wells, and the underside of the vehicle.
Is it necessary to use demineralized water with active foam?
Water quality affects the performance of automotive chemicals, so water treatment can improve the consistency of the results. Demineralized water is particularly useful for the final rinse, as it helps reduce mineral residue after drying.
Can bitumen and resin be removed with active foam?
Active Foam is primarily designed for road grime, road film, and other common types of dirt. Specialized cleaners may be needed for stubborn tar stains, resin, and certain other localized stains.
What determines the price of active foam?
The price of active foam depends on its composition, concentration, product line, and packaging. For professional use, it is also important to consider the working dilution ratio and the actual amount of concentrate used per car, as these factors determine the true cost per wash.
How can you compare active foams in terms of cost-effectiveness?
To make a fair comparison, you need to determine the actual consumption of each concentrate per car and multiply it by the cost per milliliter of the product. The resulting cost per wash provides a better indication of the product’s cost-effectiveness than the price of the canister.
