Anyone know what I am supposed to be paying for 55 gallons of Warsaw Chemicals 534 presoak? All these posts with people bashing distributors makes me wonder. Just making sure my distributor is not overcharging.

Call Warsaw and ask the MSRP. We were charged quite a bit above it by a distributor and dumped them when they charged even more than they quoted.

I use Warsaw 534. Our dist offers 5 tier pricing which amounts to a pretty hefty price reduction if you buy quantity. I suspect their competitors know that, but I won't give details in case they don't.

Red, do you run (2) passes of 534? If so, is the first pass stronger or are you running the same ratio on both passes? I'm getting ready to run 534 on my automatic and am curious to what set up is working for others. Thanks!

I am not Red, but I do run 2 passes of 534 in my LW 4000. They are equal strength. I believe my car wash has a reputation for getting cars cleaner than the other washes in town. works great.

What dilution ratio are you mixing your 534?

Where did you get that price from?
Warsaw's most recent price list

And before I stir up a hornet's nest I would like to say there are more factors to consider that have not been discussed, including delivery policies& charges. If I still sold chemical I would probably not deliver at that price more than about 40 miles away.

I use the same two products but apply the Lemon Elixir (low ph) first then the 534. I should try it hi/low to see if there is any difference. That may be a better way to go in the cold winter months here in Michigan.
