Prewash before touching

Apply the prewash bottom-up, let it act 1 to 2 minutes without drying and rinse top-down. This is where traffic film comes off; the shampoo then only has to clean.

Right doses, right cost

Fra-Ber concentrates pay off because they are dosed: 8 to 25 ml per car in tunnel, 10 to 30 in self-service, 1:20 to 1:50 in the sprayer. Calibrated dosers and compensated hard water (Resa Plus) avoid waste.

Clean plant, returning customer

Descaler in nozzles and circuits, Lavacemento on the bays, tyre shine and a wax the customer can see: a clean bay sells the next step.

Ask for a tailored protocol: we tell you product, dose and doser per step for your installation and water.Indicative doses from the manufacturer’s data sheets or estimated by product type; adjust to water and dirt.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from people who run a bay, short answers

What car washes ask us most often about the Fra-Ber range.

Do Fra-Ber products work with hard or recycled water?

Yes. The range is formulated and tested for hard, recycled and reverse-osmosis water. In very hard water areas Fra-Ber has specific prewashes (Resa Plus 5.0 Hard Water) and the drying agents give different doses for osmosis water (1:2000–1:5000 instead of 1:100–1:400).

What is the difference between single- and two-component prewash?

Single-component (Poker, Sundet, Perfectwash) is applied in one step and serves cars and trucks in hand wash, sprayer and self-service. Two-component (Turbowash, Super Lavateli) applies two solutions in sequence that boost each other on the panel: the choice for tarpaulins, trucks and very heavy dirt. In tunnels the equivalent is the Presoak 1.1 (alkaline) + 2.2 (acid) system.

What are the Smart Complete, X-Line and Evoenzymes lines?

Smart Complete is the complete reference range for car washes. X-Line is the premium maximum-performance line (XS Extreme, Spumone, Prime, Defender, Sublime Hy, NutriGloss), with doses of 5 to 25 ml per car. Evoenzymes is the enzymatic, VDA-certified line for a greener chemistry without losing efficacy (Pre-Self Emollient, Foam Aroma, Lava Interni B Aroma, Deotex).

How much product do I use per car?

It depends on the installation and the product. In tunnel and rollover the data sheets give 5 to 25 ml per car; in self-service, 10 to 30 ml; in hand wash with a sprayer, dilutions of 1:20 to 1:50. The cost-per-wash calculator on this page estimates usage per step for your bay and, signed in to the store, the cost with your prices.

Are acid wheel cleaners safe on all wheels?

Super Allunet, Allunet Hi and Superlega are acid and meant for aluminium and steel with brake dust; they are used diluted and never left to dry. On polished, anodised, chromed or Alcoa wheels use Alconet (acid-free) or KO Iron; X-Wheel Active Foam is also not recommended for Alcoa or motorcycles.

Which products can I use on motorcycles and delicate paint?

The data sheets flag the ones suitable for motorcycles: Acticlean, Micellar (1:60), Prime Extreme, Volume Extreme and Foam Aroma Extreme (1:40). XS Extreme and X-Wheel Active Foam are not recommended for motorcycles. On matte paint or wraps always test a small area and avoid gloss waxes.

Sprayer or foam gun?

The sprayer (25 or 50 L, plain or foaming) is the hand-wash tool: prewash and wheel cleaner at 1:20–1:50 without a compressor. The LS3 foam lance connects to the pressure washer and makes snow foam with Neve, Trifoam or Spumone at 1:2–1:12. For interiors, the Tornador uses compressed air.

How do I avoid limescale in nozzles and brushes?

With a weekly Anticalcare cycle circulating in the water circuits and nozzles, and Lavacemento on the concrete bays to remove the black film. In very hard water, slightly higher prewash doses and a drying agent compensate the hardness.

Which pack sizes exist?

Most concentrates come in 5, 10 and 25 kg (or litres); some in 1,000 kg (IBC) for tunnels and high-volume centers, like Perfectwash Megafoam. Finishing products also come in 4.54 L, 1 L and 750 ml. On this page every pack shows whether it is in stock in the store.

Where do I find technical and safety data sheets?

The manufacturer’s technical data sheets (TDS), in Italian and English, are linked on each product page here and on the “Technical and safety data sheets” page. Safety data sheets in Portuguese are requested from BestQuímica through that page’s form and sent by email.
