HORSHAM, Pa. (Oct. 28, 2025) – CRC Industries, a global leader in specialty chemicals for automotive maintenance and repair, is turning its booths at the 2025 SEMA (#24677) and AAPEX (#A2619) shows into dynamic destinations for automotive professionals and enthusiasts. With new product demonstrations and celebrity appearances, as well as the unveiling of a landmark Build for the Future vehicle build, the CRC booths offer engaging experiences that showcase innovation, performance and education. Build for the Future Custom Build Vehicles Visitors to the CRC booth at SEMA (#24677) will be among the first to see the latest project in CRC’s Build for the Future scholarship initiative: a 1977 Chevrolet C10 Pro-Street truck built in collaboration with Lutz Race Cars and NHRA Top Fuel champion Clay Millican. While at AAPEX, the company will showcase last year’s build in the show lobby — a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air that is the first classic hot rod with a hydrogen-powered HEMI engine. CRC’s Build for the Future initiative was created in partnership with the TechForce Foundation to close the skilled trades employment gap by providing scholarships to aspiring technicians. Each year, a rebuilt Build for the Future vehicle is unveiled. After touring, it is auctioned, with proceeds used to provide scholarships to aspiring technicians. New Product Highlights CRC will debut several new products and formulations, each of which will be available for demonstration throughout the shows: CRC Brākleen® Foaming Brake Wash The new water-based product features low VOCs while being non-flammable and non-chlorinated. A patent-pending formulation, Brakleen Foaming Brake Wash outperforms other 50-state formulas with 3X the cleaning power. CRC Evapo-Rust® Spray Gel Evapo-Rust Gel features a trigger spray for easy application and clings to vertical surfaces for powerful rust removal. Safe on iron, steel, aluminum and chrome. Requires no scrubbing. CRC Bio-Based Power Lube® This biodegradable, ceramic-fortified formulation stops squeaks, fights corrosion and frees rusted parts. Featuring a PermStraw® nozzle for broad or precise spray, Bio-Based Power Lube performs under pressure and resists wear. CRC Weld-Aid® Nozzle-Kleen® #3 Anti-Spatter This advanced spray-on formulation transforms welding by preventing spatter buildup, protecting nozzles and torches, and ensuring smooth gas flow. It provides a powerful barrier that keeps tools clean, extends life and delivers high-quality welds. CRC Weld-Aid® Non-Flammable Anti-Spatter This silicone-free formulation forms a heat-resistant barrier that prevents weld spatter from sticking to tools, nozzles and workpieces. Safe for use near open flames, it ensures clean welds and easy clean-up. CRC Weld-Aid® Weld-Kleen® HD2 Anti-Spatter Formulated to protect workpieces, nozzles and surfaces from splatter, this product protects your gear while ensuring cleaner welds and faster cleanup.
