Eco Products

If you were to put together a complete list of detailing products for your car and the had to be eco friendly, what would they be?

I'm trying to find out more about which products are eco friendly or eco responsible and which product manufacturers are taking steps to make themselves more environmentally friendly.

I have read alot of late about eco detailing, but not alot about what products are out there - apart from ONR of course!

Finally, is eco detailing about the products, the processes or both? Can you use non eco friendly products in a more responsible manner? ie is a sealant with excellent durability that makes cleaning easier so you use less water eco friendly?

Thinking out loud today!:

I made what I think is a fantastic wheel, tire, and general purpose heavy duty cleaner.
It consist of 1 part Green Earth Technology wheel cleaner to 1 part Simple Green Extreme at a 4:1 dilution ratio.
Its non toxic and biodegradable.

I just started using the Freedom Waterless Car Wash products for my mobile and fixed base shop and the products work great. There is definately a learning curve with these products but in the long run it will keep us in business especially with all the EPA issues going on.

how strong is it at that mix?
i tried green earth by itself and it sucked. it felt like 'good' apc at 15:1 or higher.

Did you read the msds on both chemicals before you mixed em together for compatability. There are about 200 mad chemists killed every year from mixing chemicals before checking for compatability & just because someone claims it,s green or biodegradable does not mean it,s safer. Plutoniam is biodegradable but it takes a million years to do so but you can still make a claim about it.
