What's Included
The Soap System – Full Assembly 4‑Soap Wash System is a wall‑mounted, plumb‑in solution that lets you inject up to four different soaps or chemicals through one gun with the turn of a valve. It’s built for owner‑operators, small fleets, and shops who want true commercial‑style convenience at home or in a dedicated wash bay without installing a full tunnel. Paired with the premium foam gun, it delivers thick, even foam and fast switching between products so you can wash, degrease, and protect from a single station.
What Makes The 4‑soap Wash System Different
Most “multi‑soap” setups for pressure washers are cobbled together from cheap valves, tees, and garden‑variety hardware that don’t meter chemicals consistently or stand up to daily use. This 4‑soap system is a purpose‑built, professionally assembled unit designed specifically for car and truck wash chemicals, using quality components, proper check valves, and a premium foam gun for reliable, repeatable performance.
Instead of swapping foam cannons, disconnecting bottles, or dragging multiple sprayers around the truck, you can pre‑plumb up to four Image Wash soaps or chemicals—like touchless wash, neutral pH soap, degreaser, and wax replacement—and switch between them in seconds. That means less downtime, cleaner plumbing, and a faster, more efficient wash process on every vehicle.
Recommended Use Routine
-
Mount the 4‑soap wash system securely on a suitable wall near your water and pressure washer connections, reference the electronic instruction guide emailed.
-
Plumb your incoming water and pressure washer supply to the system, ensuring all fittings are tight and leak‑free.
-
Connect up to four chemical feed lines to your chosen soaps/chemicals (for example: Touchless 1 & 2, Platinum Wash, All Purpose Car Degreaser, and Vehicle Spray Wax Replacement).
-
Calibrate each line to the recommended dilution using the system’s injector/orifice setup so each product pulls at the correct ratio. Talk with an Image Rep if needed.
-
To wash, simply select the desired soap using the control valves, trigger the premium foam gun, and apply product to the vehicle.
-
Rinse or switch to another product as needed (for example, from touchless soap to wax replacement) by changing valve position—no disconnecting or swapping bottles.
-
After use, run clear water through the gun/system to flush chemical lines to aid equipment lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 4-soap system run four chemicals?
Two metering soap boxes each hold two chemical lines with a Step 1 / Step 2 valve, and the Suttner ST-164 dual injector selects which box you draw from.
Foaminator or Hi-Lo wand?
This version uses the Foaminator foam lance. For low-pressure wet-spray application with high-pressure rinse from the same wand, see the 4-Soap Wash System with Hi-Lo Wash Lance.
Does soap run through my pressure washer pump?
No. The injector is downstream of the pump, so chemicals never pass through it.
What containers does it work with?
Draw tubes are available for 5-gallon pails up to 275-gallon totes.
Which Image Wash chemicals run through this system?
These setups come from our Soap System Calculator. Enter your pressure washer's PSI and GPM there to get the exact metering tip for each chemical.

|---|---|---|
| Touchless 1 | Pre-mix 1:1 | Yes |
| Touchless 2 | Pre-mix 1:1 | Yes |
| Touchless Pro 1 | Pre-mix 1 part to 1.5 water | Yes |
| Total Brite 2 | Pre-mix 1 part to 1.5 water | Yes |

Not for soap injectors: Bug Remover, Iron Remover, Quick Detailer, Interior Detailer and Tire Shine Pro are sprayer products. Polished Aluminum Cleaner needs a stronger mix (15:1) than an injector delivers.
Soap system FAQs
How do I pick the right metering tip?
Enter your pressure washer's PSI and GPM in our Soap System Calculator. It shows which tip each chemical needs on your machine. Every system is built in Hudsonville, MI and sized to your pressure washer, so call 616.777.7175 if you have questions.
Can I run a touchless 2-step with this system?
Yes. Step 1 and Step 2 each get their own draw line, and you switch between them with the injector valve. Apply Step 1, then Step 2 directly over it, and rinse.
Do I have to pre-mix my soap?
Some chemicals run straight from the drum and some need a pre-mix, as shown in the chart above. Pre-mixing gets concentrates to the right strength for the injector's draw.
Can I run acid brighteners through it?
Alum-Brite Lite and Total Brite 1 appear in the calculator for injector use. They are not polish-safe and contain hydrofluoric acid, so read the SDS, use acid-resistant equipment where called for, and always follow with a high-pH Step 2.
