Generally speaking, scale removers are either alkaline-based or compound-based, and currently there are no scale removers that have both alkaline and compound properties as liquid agents for car wash machines. This type of fluid is characterized by a fluid that has both of the above properties and a car wash process to make them effective. In other words, it takes advantage of the synergistic effect of the properties of mild alkaline pill goo (stain softening effect, penetration into aged wax) and the properties of micro-conbound (removal of fixed dirt and aged wax) to prevent damage to painted surfaces. You can remove limescale without any problems.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention having the above configuration, sand and simple dirt adhering to the surface can be removed by a brushing process in which washing water is supplied. Next, by supplying a scale remover to the surface, this scale remover can penetrate and soften hardened dirt and aged wax, and then by supplying washing water and moving on to the brushing process, the hardened dirt and aged wax can be softened. Dirt and aged wax can be removed without damaging the surface (painted surface). Thereafter, by moving on to the brushing process in which detergent is supplied, the car wash can be returned to the normal car wash process.
