Cherry Self-Serve Car Wash Wax

Stinger 569 Self-Serve Cherry Spray Wax is a self-serve car wash wax built for the wax setting in a self-serve bay, and it runs through either high or low pressure. It is a sealer wax: fast-breaking action pulls the rinse water off the paint quickly, and the water that stays behind beads up, so customers drive out with a polished, protected finish and less water to towel off. The SDS lists a quaternary amine as the main active ingredient, the cationic chemistry car wash waxes use to cling to paint instead of rinsing straight off. Run it with the 526 Cherry Foam Brush Shampoo and the whole bay smells like cherry from soap to wax.

On Stinger's 1 to 5 car wash strength meter, 569 sits at 3: moderately strong, between the lighter 1s and the strongest 5s. It dilutes up to 1:250, so a 5-gallon pail makes about 1,250 gallons of use solution. Set your injector or proportioner with the dilution calculator. It ships in 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums from a top Stinger Chemical distributor. For a drying agent in an automatic or tunnel, see the 574 Cherry Clear Coat Sealant, and the rest of the bay lineup is in our car wash chemicals.

What Makes it Great:

💧 Fast Break, Strong Beading: Water releases from the paint quickly and what remains beads up, which gives customers the visible "it's working" result they pay the wax setting for.

🎯 High or Low Pressure: Formulated to run through either a high-pressure wand or a low-pressure setting, so one product covers both bay setups.

📉 Up to 1:250: A 5-gallon pail stretches to about 1,250 gallons of use solution, which keeps the cost per wax cycle low.

🍒 Cherry Scent: A scent customers notice in the bay and connect with your wash, and it matches Stinger's cherry soaps.
