Lemon Bead Rinse Aid

Concentrated Beading Rinse Aid & Drying Agent | Lemon Bead™ 9242

A highly concentrated beading rinse aid for the car wash industry. Lemon Bead™ is KO's most concentrated beading rinse aid, formulated to leave a smooth, long-lasting protective layer — even on the sides of the vehicle — that drives water into tight, even beads. That sheeting action makes it ideal for tunnel and automatic systems with forced-air dryers, while its pleasing lemon fragrance makes it a favorite for self-service bays. Easy to use and 100% biodegradable.
