Pre-Soak Applicator – Start the Clean Before the Wash Begins
The Pre-Soak Applicator is designed to give your car wash process a head start by applying a uniform layer of chemical pre-soak to the vehicle’s exterior before it reaches the main washing components. This crucial step allows the chemical to react with contaminants such as oil, dirt, bug splatter, tree sap, and bird droppings, loosening them effectively before any mechanical or high-pressure action begins.
This applicator can be installed right at the tunnel entrance or just before the lineup area in a tunnel or in-bay automatic car wash, giving ample dwell time for the pre-soak to activate. Operators may choose to lightly scrub the most contaminated areas after pre-soak application for even better results.
Key Benefits:
- Increases chemical contact time for better cleaning
- Reduces the need for aggressive brushing or repeated passes
- Enhances customer satisfaction with better first-pass results
- Simple integration into existing wash bays or tunnels
- Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials for long-term use
- Suitable for pre-soak, degreaser, or bug remover applications
Installation Options:
- At tunnel entry, before the vehicle enters the main lineup
- Within the tunnel for integrated chemical application
- Can be configured to operate automatically via tunnel controller or manually
This applicator is widely used in high-volume car washes across the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, helping operators deliver a cleaner car with less effort and more customer satisfaction.
What types of contaminants does the Pre-Soak Applicator help remove?
It helps loosen and break down tough contaminants such as oil stains, bug splatter, bird droppings, tree sap, road grime, and light tar, making them easier to remove in the main wash stages.
Does the system require manual intervention after pre-soak application?
Not necessarily. However, in cases of heavily soiled vehicles, operators may choose to lightly scrub problem areas after the pre-soak is applied to enhance cleaning effectiveness before the car enters the tunnel.
Can the Pre-Soak Applicator be used with different chemicals?
Absolutely. It supports various pre-soak chemicals including alkaline degreasers, bug removers, and pH-neutral pre-treatments, depending on your wash requirements and surface sensitivity.
Where should the Pre-Soak Applicator be installed?
The Pre-Soak Applicator can be installed either at the tunnel entrance or just before the lineup area. Installing it earlier in the wash process provides more dwell time for the chemical to react with dirt and grime, improving cleaning results.
Is the Pre-Soak Applicator compatible with all tunnel systems?
Yes. The applicator is designed to be compatible with most tunnel, in-bay automatic, and hybrid wash systems. It can be integrated with existing controllers or triggered independently as needed.
