So what is Eco?

[gonz0]

I've been doing a two bucket wash with Meguier's Gold Class but I think I'll pick up some ONR and try it out. I prefer to use as little water as possible, both because it IS wasteful and because the water in my area isn't the best (high mineral content).

Yvan, can you explain more about these 'waterless' wash procedures and what products would be good to start with?

Gonzo,

You can use Meguiars Final Touch. If Dilute 2 to 1 ... have seen this work really well.

I believe in 2009 & 10 that the Industry will not have a choice on going green to a certain standard. The NPDES Permit in the US is requiring change. Moving from Waste Water Containment towards Contamination Capture. Once this occurs, a base level of "green" will occur. By many definitions, the whole industry will be green.

I don't think this is a big win for customers, honestly do not think they care all that much.

But, if you want to get into a certain commercial property, or home owners association , then I think it is go green or go home stuff.

I believe the other compelling event driving change is that being an Eco Detailer actually costs less in terms of the equipment required to support the model, and the overall time. I say overall as you need to factor in the wash mat set up, pick up, waste water discharge, etc.

IMHO,

As far as products go there are many good ones available.

The use is very simple, you spray a small section, wipe the dirt and product off with one MF. Next with a fresh MF towel you buff the remaining product off. Many products contain a form of protection that gives you the same protection as a showroom shine LSP.
