Re: Recommendations for eco friendly products?

I had a detailing contract at a parking garage for many years and then one day they told me that the garage was going green and that my company could no longer use water to clean cars. So I searched and searched for an alturnitive to cleaning cars without water run off. We get alot of muddy cars so I was not going to use the spray on wipe dirt into paint solution. Our detail/car wash was on the bottom level of a parking garage (4 floors underground) so I did not want to do the reclaim thing. Besides the garage management was not real hip on that idea anyway. So my solution was to wash cars via high pressure steam. I did some reaserch on high pressure steam machines and there were not many good ones in the USA. So I found a Manufacture in South Korea that makes great high pressure steam machines. So I bought it from them and imported it into the States. Importing a big machine like that was a pain in the you know what! I spent about $7,500 for the machine after it was all said and done. The machine is awesome but I no longer have the need for it. After I spent all the time and money getting the machine brought here for South Korea the garage management change their mind about washing cars with the steam. So now I have an expensive machine collecting dust. If any need a way to go green and wash cars without any water run off this is the way to go. I am selling the machine for $4,500 and taking a big loss. The machine has only been used about 10 times.
