Car wash chemicals manufactured in Los Angeles County
Golden West Corporation manufactures wholesale car wash chemicals in Gardena, California, and has supplied Los Angeles County operators since 1990. We are not a distributor shipping product in from out of state — we blend in our own plant here in LA County, which means shorter lead times, no freight surprises, and a formulator you can actually reach when something needs adjusting.
We deliver throughout Los Angeles: Downtown, Hollywood, Koreatown, Mid-City, the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley, Torrance and the South Bay, Long Beach, Inglewood, Compton, Carson, Santa Monica and the Westside. Will-call pickup at our Gardena facility is available Monday through Friday.
Formulated for Los Angeles conditions
Washing cars in Los Angeles presents specific problems. Municipal water across much of the basin runs hard, which affects rinse quality and leaves spotting if your drying agent is not matched to it. Vehicles carry a persistent film of freeway grime and airborne particulate that a general-purpose soap will not fully release. Long dry stretches mean heavy dust accumulation, then the first rain of the season lifts oil off the pavement and puts a different soil entirely on the lower panels.
Our presoaks and soaps are built for that reality. Because Oscar, our chemical engineer, formulates in house, we can adjust concentration and chemistry to your water report and your equipment rather than handing you a generic product and wishing you luck.
What Los Angeles operators buy from us
- High pH and low pH presoaks for two-step wash systems
- Foaming soaps and triple foam conditioners for tunnel presentation
- Drying agents and sealer waxes that sheet water and cut blower time
- Tire dressings, trim restorers, and paint protectants
- Degreasers for engine bays, wheels, and shop floors
- Brushes, applicators, microfiber towels, nozzles, hoses, and drum pumps
Available by the gallon, the five gallon pail, the fifty five gallon drum, and the tote, with wholesale pricing for volume accounts.
