Car Wash Chemical Systems & Solutions | Genesis Chemicals Canada

Commercial Car Wash Chemistry

Designed for Every System Type

Modern car wash operations rely on more than just a single detergent — they depend on a coordinated chemical system designed to match the wash method, equipment, and performance expectations of their facility.

From fully automated touchless systems to self-serve bays and high-volume fleet wash operations, each setup requires a different balance of cleaning strength, foam characteristics, dwell time, and rinse performance.

At Genesis Chemicals, our car and truck wash chemicals are formulated to perform within specific system types — helping operators improve cleaning results, reduce labor, and maintain consistent wash quality.

Choose the Right Car Wash Chemical Systems for Your Operation:

Touchless Automatic Car Wash Operations

Touchless Car Wash Solutions & Operations

Touchless systems rely entirely on chemical action and water pressure to remove road film, grease, and contaminants without mechanical brushing.

These systems require high-performance detergents with strong soil penetration, controlled foam, and clean rinsing to achieve effective results.

Best for: high-throughput operations, minimal labor, consistent automated cleaning
Key focus: chemical strength, dwell time, visual appeal

Self-Serve Car Wash Facilities

Self-serve wash bays depend on user interaction, where foam generation, lubrication, and visual performance play a major role in customer satisfaction.

These systems require stable, high-foaming detergents that provide both cleaning power and a consistent user experience through foam brushes and spray applications.

Best for: public wash bays, coin-op systems, customer-controlled washing
Key focus: foam stability, lubrication, easy rinsing

Heavy-Duty Fleet Wash Bay Systems

Liquid Chisel - Genesis Canada Acid Truck Wash. Performance Concrete Remover & Truck Wash Detergent.

Fleet washing operations require efficient, repeatable cleaning for trucks, trailers, and equipment under varying conditions.

These systems often combine pressure washing, foam application, and targeted detergents to balance cleaning performance with speed and cost efficiency.

Best for: transport fleets, heavy equipment, commercial wash bays
Key focus: efficiency, throughput, consistent cleaning performance

Built for Real-World Car Wash Operations

Each wash system presents unique challenges — from removing road film in touchless systems to maintaining foam performance in self-serve environments and optimizing throughput in fleet washing operations.

Our product lineup is designed to work within these systems, allowing operators to build a complete chemical program tailored to their specific application.
