Which active foam should you choose for a self-service car wash?

For self-service car washes, concentrated alkaline foams with a working dilution of 1–3% are recommended. The TED PROFESSIONAL series—OneTouch, RODEO, PRIME PRO, and MASTER—are best suited for this purpose; they produce a thick, stable foam, rinse off easily, and are safe for paintwork.

How do you properly mix TED PROFESSIONAL active foam?

The active foam concentrate is diluted with water in a ratio ranging from 1:3 to 1:12, depending on the model of the dispenser or foam generator. For dosing systems, use 1–3% of the prepared solution, and for foam generators, use a ratio of 1:50–1:100. Do not allow the foam to dry on the vehicle body, and always rinse it off with water at a pressure of 5–6 atm.

What is the difference between alkaline and neutral active foam?

Alkaline active foam is more effective against heavy dirt, road dust, and chemicals—making it ideal for winter use or for commercial vehicles. Neutral foam is gentler, safe for wax coatings, and suitable for regular washing of passenger cars in the summer.

What is the active foam consumption per car?

On average, TED PROFESSIONAL active foam requires 70–100 ml of concentrate per passenger car. One 5-kg canister is sufficient for 500–600 washes, making the product a cost-effective choice for commercial car washes.

Is TED PROFESSIONAL active foam safe for paint and varnish coatings?

Yes, all TED PROFESSIONAL foams are formulated with a safe pH level (up to 13), contain no harsh solvents, and do not damage paint, plastic, or rubber. When used correctly, the product is completely safe for any type of paint finish.
