Formulation Guideline

Burcosil CAR should be added to the formulated rinse aid, spray wax, or wash-and-wax product.; The use of deionized or reverse osmosis water will reduce or eliminate mineral deposits from being left behind on the vehicle surface.; Burcosil CAR is not compatible with anionic surfactants.; The use of solvents such as glycols, butyl ethers, and d-limonene as part of the wash-and-wax formulation is possible.; To increase the amount of foam generated, surfactants such as Burcoterge C2P-39 (amphoteric) or Burco COPB-35 (betaine) can be added to the formulation.
