    What kind of detergent they use at truck washes? Looking to wash my truck at home and get something as strong as truck wash has.

    Zip Wax is pretty good stuff, I use it on my cars. For the trucks, we like Zep Concentrated TNT. Expensive, but can be diluted a lot more than most. We use a garden sprayer at 25:1 to pre soak greasy area's. We have the auto mixer from Zep set at 70:1 for the hot pressure washer. Might be better at 50:1 for a cold pressure washer or if your using a brush. They say up to 100:1, but I can only see that if you clean your truck a lot and it never gets really dirty.
