What are Two Step Chemicals Two Passes of Different Chemicals –First Pass Low ph or Acid Said to Have a Better Effect on Chrome and Glass Followed by a Dwell Time Most of the Chemical Runs Off or is Diluted –Second Pass High ph or Alkaline Similar to One Step Chemical Better for Cleaning Painted Surfaces Followed by Dwell Time

How do You Apply The Chemicals Each Pass is Made in One Direction There is Dwell Time Between Each Pass Total Dwell Time Should be The Same as One Step The Total Application Time Will Be Slightly Longer Than One Step

How Does it Work? Much the Same as One Step Chemicals –Dwell Time For Each Chemical is Important –Soft Water is Important –Water TDS is Important –Water ph is Important –Concentration is Important

What is Hydrofluoric Acid Very Strong Acid Some Chemical Manufacturers Use in Two Step RYKO Does Not Use Auto Manufacturers Do not Approve! Very Bad and Corrosive to Vehicles Is Used in Truck Wash Applications
