Introducing Our New Heavy Duty Single Step Offroad Wash

Blog Summary:

One-step washes are changing how people think about heavy duty equipment washing, offering a faster alternative to the traditional two-step process.

Two-step (low pH + high pH) remains the gold standard for deep, stubborn grime.
One-step solutions save time and still deliver up to a 90–100% clean finish.
Best for everyday jobs like washing ATVs, dirt bikes, farm equipment, and off-road wash cleanup.
Works quickly: foam on, dwell, rinse, and you’re done.
For heavy road grime, brushing or a two-step may still be needed.
Modern heavy duty soap formulas add versatility, even doubling as shop or garage floor cleaners.

When it comes to heavy duty equipment washing, most people think that the only way to get good results is with a time-consuming two-step process. While that might’ve been the case once, that’s just not true anymore.

With Image's newly released Single step soap, can wash all types of equipment without that time-consuming second step.

While we still stand behind the two-step process with a low pH wash first and high pH wash second as the gold standard for washing ATVs and heavy equipment, for those who are pressed for time, our advanced heavy duty soap formula offers an eco-friendly solution to help maintain that new showroom shine with just one step.

Why Single Step?

For years, the proven process for deep cleaning has been the two-step system involving a low pH soap first to loosen dirt and a high pH rinse to break down that dirt and grime and wash it all away.

But people need to save time. We are only given 24 hours in a day and with today's pressure of being profitable, most of us have a hard time keeping up and maintaining their equipment and vehicle surfaces and appearances due to time constraints.

This is one of the main reasons we are excited to launch our one step cleaning solution! Single step is:

Fast: Foam it on, let it dwell for 1–2 minutes, rinse, and you’re done.
Effective: Cuts through mud, dirt, grass, and grime with ease.
Versatile: Perfect for cars, trucks, ORVs, campers, and off road wash jobs.
Efficient: Saves time so you can get back to what you enjoy most.

What Can You Expect?

You might ask, what can I expect when using Image's Single Step soap? Besides what was described in the above comments you will expect, depending on the condition of the surface, you should achieve around 90-100% clean surface when finished. For extremely dirty/grimy surfaces, a two-step wash is usually best.

Best soap to wash dirt bikes: After a muddy ride, just foam, rinse, and your bike looks fresh again.
ATVs, lawnmowers, farm equipment: Dirt, mud, and grass residue rinse away easily.
Cars & pickups: You’ll get a 90–100% clean finish. For stubborn road grime, brushing may still be needed—but for everyday cleaning, Single Step is all you need.

How to Use

The simple directions that come with Image's Single step are just as easy as filling your coffee cup!

Simply pour into your foam cannon.
Adjust the dilution knob according to the dirtiness of the job you are tackling.
Foam on the surface.
Allow it to dwell as long as possible before drying.
When you start rinsing, try to maintain a distance of 6-12 inches from the surface to the end of the pressure washer.
Use a white tip, which is a 40-degree spray pattern for cleaning. Using that tip will give you a good overpass and coverage when contacting the surface.

No pressure washer? Use a foam cannon and gently brush, or invest in a small pressure washer (under $200) for easier, faster cleaning.

Bonus use: Add Single Step to a pump sprayer to clean grimy shop or garage floors. The formula includes a lemon scent to leave them smelling clean and fresh.
