Parts Stop stocks the Car Chem range — Australian-made cleaning chemicals built for the transport job: Truck Wash Blue, Trucking Gold wash-and-wax, Little Ripper, Carpet Plus and Acid Clean. On the shelf, ready to go.
Car Chem is a South Australian company that's been manufacturing these in Adelaide since 1990, starting with the heavy-transport and dealership trade, so the range is made for trucks, trailers and buses. The trick with cleaners is matching the product to the surface: a pH-neutral truck wash is your everyday body wash and safe on paint and trailer curtains, Trucking Gold adds a wax for that streak-free, water-beading finish, Carpet Plus handles the cab interior, and Acid Clean is for bare aluminium and mag wheels — not for painted or anodised surfaces, where an acid cleaner will do damage. They're concentrates, so they dilute down and go a long way. Tell us what you're cleaning and we'll point you to the right one.
