2-Step Fleet Wash Cleaning Process
Fleet operators often struggle with slow, inconsistent cleaning results that leave behind road film, oxidation, or uneven finishes. The 2-step fleet wash cleaning process solves this by applying two specialized chemicals in sequence—one designed to break down oxidation and grime, followed by a second that neutralizes, lifts, and cleans the vehicle surface. This creates a faster, more consistent clean and gives fleets a professional finish without excessive scrubbing or wasted labor.
What Is the 2-Step Fleet Wash Cleaning Process?
The 2-step fleet wash cleaning process involves applying a low-pH cleaner (Step 1) followed by a high-pH soap (Step 2). When the two solutions react on the vehicle surface, grime releases quickly, reducing the physical effort required in traditional washing. Professional fleets use this method because it creates cleaner surfaces, reduces washing time, and supports long-term protection against road salts, oxidation, and buildup.
This process works exceptionally well for semi-trucks, trailers, delivery fleets, and equipment that encounter harsh road contaminants.
