Carwash Connection: Managing chemical costs

AKRON, Ohio — Checking equipment is vital to keeping costs down.

AKRON, Ohio — This month, Professional Carwashing & Detailing (PC&D) will be highlighting chemicals in its series of Carwash Connection videos.

In this week’s video, Associate Publisher – Editorial Rich DiPaolo covers how to manage your chemical costs.

DiPaolo says, “According to our research, chemical costs should fall between around 8% to 15% of the wash’s total operating costs. If your wash is currently falling above or even below this range, it’s time to reassess your chemical strategy or work with a trusted supplier or manufacturer for solutions.”
