Presentation


Making Chemistry Approachable  

What’s really happening behind the color, scent, foam, and shine of car wash chemicals? Nicole will break down the chemistry behind everyday car wash products. Even if you never touch a chemical or cover yourself in them every day, understanding the basic science can complement your role in the car wash industry.

 

We’ll explore surfactants, high- and low-pH presoaks, waxes, titrations, reclaim-friendly chemistry, the innovation process, and more. Nicole will take you through real-world examples from both the lab and the field to make car wash chemistry more approachable.
