Compare cost per car.
Not just price per jug.

A lower-priced jug is not always a lower-cost wash. What matters is how many cars it cleans at the right dose—and the result each customer drives away with.

Arcadian Services

Your equipment.
Our chemistry.

We match products and working dilutions to your water, wash equipment, and menu—with particular experience in touch-free cleaning.

You can start a chemical program on most car wash equipment, even if you bought that equipment elsewhere.

Discuss your chemical program

A full wash program

From the first pass
to the final finish

Presoaks, soaps, foams, waxes, protectants, and drying aids, plus facility cleaners for the wash itself.

01

Match the chemistry

Talk through your current results, water, equipment, and wash packages. Choose a program that fits your goals and budget.

02

Get set up

Initial setup is included with a $1,000+ opening chemical order. Technicians help with dilution and application.

03

Keep an eye on value

Measure what you actually use per car. Compare delivered chemical cost at a dose that produces the cleaning, rinsing, and drying results your wash needs.

Look beyond the price tag

The more expensive jug
can cost less per wash.

Concentration and application determine how far a product goes. Compare the same wash function at a dose that delivers comparable results, then count the cars you can wash.

A $100 jug

If it treats 1,000 cars at the proper dose:

10¢ per car

A $150 jug

If it treats 2,000 cars at the proper dose:

7.5¢ per car

What that means

The $150 jug costs 50% more to buy, but its chemical cost per car is 25% lower in this example.

Illustration only—not product pricing, a dilution recommendation, or a performance claim. Both examples assume the same jug size and comparable cleaning results. Delivery is excluded here; include it in your full comparison.

The number that matters

Delivered cost per car

(Cost of chemicals actually consumed + associated delivery cost) ÷ cars washed in the same period.

Compare the complete chemical program and the finished car. Using less only helps when the wash still performs. CWC can help measure consumption, establish the right application, and work out your real cost.
