Industry buying guide · Based in Ottawa
A painted panel, a vehicle component and a workshop floor are different applications. Tell us what you want to clean, the material or finish and the method you use before comparing possible products.
Pricing is discussed by phone or in person after we understand your requirements. Sending a request does not place an order. Prefer a callback?
Detailers, wash operators, mechanics, repair businesses and fleet teams can send an application enquiry. Automotive product availability and compatibility are reviewed against the exact offered product; a general degreaser or dishwasher rinse aid is not automatically a vehicle-care product.
The work and the buyer
Keep different applications distinct. Start with your current products or the tasks you want reviewed, rather than assuming a replacement is interchangeable.
Identify the component, material, coating or finish and whether the work is manual or uses wash equipment. A request for a vehicle rinse/drying product is reviewed separately from dishwasher rinse aid.
Ask about this operationSeparate cleaning a part or tool from cleaning the workshop floor. Include the current product and equipment instructions, then list any handwashing or premises supplies as separate requirements.
