The Car Wash Supply Store That's Actually the Factory
Skip the retail middleman. Pick up soaps, waxes, compounds and supplies at the Gardena plant where they're made — Monday to Friday, 8 to 5.
If you searched for a car wash supply store near me anywhere in Los Angeles County, here's the upgrade: buy at the source. Golden West Chemical's factory store sits at 1538 West 132nd Street, Gardena, CA 90249 — minutes off the 110 and 91 freeways — where our soaps and presoaks have been formulated and blended since 1990.
What you can pick up
Everything in the catalog: house-made car wash soaps and presoaks in 1-gallon jugs, 5-gallon pails, 30 and 55-gallon drums; waxes and buffing compounds including Black Magic Wax and the carnauba line; degreasers, drying agents and finishing products; plus brushes, pads, clay, towels and the rest of the detailing supply list. We also stock 3M, P&S, Malco and Stoner.
Will-call: call ahead, drive away loaded
Call (310) 538-0918 — Spanish line (310) 213-3171 — with what you need and we'll have it staged for pickup. Detailers grab pails and cases; car washes and fleets load drums. If you'd rather not drive, we deliver across LA, the South Bay, Long Beach and Orange County.
Why buy at the factory
The person helping you is steps from the chemist who wrote the formulas — owner Oscar, a chemical engineer. You get factory-direct pricing with no distributor markup, honest dilution ratios, and SDS sheets on request. Trade buyers can open a wholesale account, reviewed the same business day.
