Supply Disaster! Need Help Rebuilding with the BEST Concentrates (Bulk/ROI Focused)
āHey everyone, āTaking a tough hit this weekāI had an unfortunate event yesterday and lost roughly $500 to $600 worth of chemical supplies (so painful!). āI'm using this setback as a forced opportunity to completely restructure my inventory around maximum cost-efficiency and professional quality. I'm done with smaller bottles; I'm going all-in on concentrates. āI need the community's honest, battle-tested recommendations for the products you buy in bulk (gallons/5-gallons) that give you the absolute lowest cost-per-use (best ROI). āš§Ŗ My Shopping List (Need Concentrates For): 1. āCar Wash Soap: Which hyper-concentrated, pH-neutral wash soap gives the best lubricity and dilution ratio? 2. āAll-Purpose Cleaner (APC): What is your go-to concentrate that handles everything? What are your standard dilution ratios for heavy (wheels/engine) vs. light (interior surfaces)? 3. āWheel & Tire Cleaner: Best non-acidic concentrate that cuts brake dust and grim effectively when diluted. 4. āTire & Trim Dressing: A high-quality, water-based concentrate that can be dialed in for different shine levels (e.g., 1:1 for gloss, 4:1 for matte)? āš The Goal: āI need chemicals that mix easily, are shelf-stable in bulk, and absolutely maintain that professional, \text{A+} finish. āWhat brand and specific product name is your secret weapon for minimizing chemical costs while delivering superior results? āThanks in advance for helping me bounce back!
