The exact dilution ratio of the active foam directly determines the profitability of a car wash business and the cleanliness of the vehicle’s body. A team of engineers from TED Professional conducted measurements of chemical consumption and wash quality at operating car washes and detailing stations. Our experience shows that mixing concentrates “by eye” consistently leads to two extremes. The owner either overpays every month due to excessive chemical consumption or loses customers because of a dull, static […]

The operating profitability of self-service car washes (SSCWs) and traditional detailing bays depends directly on the accuracy of chemical usage. In an effort to increase profit margins, owners often make a common mistake—they simply reduce the flow rate of the dosing system or purchase cheap, concentrated products of questionable quality. The result is predictable: a decline in cleaning performance, a white static film on the car body, and an exodus of dissatisfied customers. The technical department at TED Professional conducted audits […]

The modern automotive chemical market requires contactless shampoos to strike a balance between high cleaning power and safety for paintwork, chrome, and plastic. However, in practice, car wash owners often face the problem of unstable foaming: due to the specific characteristics of the water or equipment, a premium concentrate forms a thin, watery emulsion instead of a thick “snow blanket,” which instantly runs off the vehicle’s body. Attempts to solve this by artificially increasing […]

We are pleased to welcome you to the information portal of TED Professional, a manufacturer of professional automotive chemicals. Today, our editorial team takes an in-depth look at the technological revolution in the contactless car wash segment. Brightly colored formulations have almost completely displaced classic white formulations from the automotive chemicals market. We’ll take a detailed look at the physical and chemical factors, as well as consumer psychology, behind this extremely interesting phenomenon. This comprehensive analytical piece will help you understand […]

Contactless car washing has long been the standard for modern, high-quality vehicle care around the world. Its ultimate technological effectiveness depends largely on the correct, professional selection of active foam. It is this agent that quickly dissolves road grime, residual automotive oils, insect residue, and winter de-icing salts even before any mechanical contact with the body’s paint finish occurs during the cleaning process.
