Supplying the Valleys from our Gardena plant
Golden West Corporation manufactures car wash chemicals and supplies car washes, express tunnels, and detail shops across the San Fernando Valley and San Gabriel Valley. We serve Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Woodland Hills, Northridge, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Alhambra, Monterey Park, El Monte, Covina, and West Covina.
Valley heat is the defining problem
Summer surface temperatures in the Valleys routinely run well above what coastal operators deal with, and heat changes chemistry behavior fundamentally. Product flashes off hot panels before it can dwell, soap dries into streaks, and drying agents that work fine in October fail in July. Operators often respond by increasing concentration, which raises cost per car without solving the underlying issue.
The better answer is chemistry formulated to stay wet and keep working at temperature. Because Oscar, our chemical engineer, formulates our line in house, we can adjust for your season, your equipment, and your water rather than selling a single product and hoping.
Also built for Valley dust and hard water
Long dry stretches leave heavy dust and pollen on vehicles, and Valley water tends to run harder than the coast, which brings mineral spotting into play on dark paint. We supply presoaks and drying agents formulated with both conditions in mind.
- High and low pH presoaks for two-step systems
- Foaming soaps and triple foam conditioners
- Drying agents and sealer waxes for hard water
- Tire dressings and UV-resistant protectants
- Brushes, towels, applicators, and dispensing hardware
