Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing and distributing a cleaning solution for use in a vehicle washing facility. The method includes receiving pre-measured raw chemical material at a distributor's facility, diluting the pre-measured raw chemical material using a mixing apparatus at the distributor's facility to form a cleaning solution, packaging at least a portion of the cleaning solution into containers at the distributor's facility, and delivering at least one of the containers from the distributor's facility directly to the vehicle washing facility.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning vehicles. The method of cleaning a vehicle can include irradiating an exterior surface of the vehicle with artificial electromagnetic radiation. The exterior surface of the vehicle can have soil deposited thereon, which can include a plurality of PAHs. At least some of the plurality of PAHs can be bonded together via a chemical bond having a bond energy. The method can further include breaking the chemical bond with the artificial electromagnetic radiation. The artificial electromagnetic radiation can have a predetermined wavelength that corresponds to the energy required to break the chemical bond. The method can further include cleaning the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle cleaning apparatus and method. The vehicle cleaning apparatus (10) and method can include application of electromagnetic radiation to the vehicle (16). The electromagnetic radiation can be used to break bonds or interactions that may have formed between soil molecules or between soil and an exterior surface of a vehicle. The electromagnetic radiation can also be used to form bonds or interactions between soil molecules or between soil and an exterior surface of a vehicle in a directed manner in order to break down the soil using one or more subsequent electromagnetic radiation applications. The electromagnetic radiation can also be used to break down the soil into benign constituents, or to break down the soil into compounds that can render hazardous chemicals benign. The method for cleaning a vehicle can include irradiating the vehicle (16) with electromagnetic radiation prior to, during, or subsequent to a variety of other cleansing procedures.

Abstract: Pouches comprising dyes and scents, and methods of using the pouches to deliver concentrated dyes and scents to detergents or protectants are provided. Methods of providing a customized vehicle cleaning composition using pouches comprising dyes or scents are also provided. The pouches can be used at vehicle washing sites, distributor sites or manufacturing sites to customize vehicle compositions with respect to color and scent.
