Yep. Best wash pads I have found. I forget the brand name, but the packaging around them is red.

I have a open trailer that I keep garaged. The one thing about this unit pictured above is there is no protection from a rear collision. First thing to go is the gen.

All you do is add 2 capfuls per gallon of water, and just wash and dry. You do not need to rinse at all. I've been using it for 8 years, and I only carry about 4 gallons of water with me. Definately a time and money saver. You should be able to wash/dry the average sized car in about 20-25 minutes-including wheels and doorjams. Just wash a section at a time, wipe with one towel, and dry completely with the other.

It is really great at office complexes-you don't have to worry about getting anyone else's car wet, even on windy days.

And no, the product will not scratch paint. A gallon runs about $38 and you should be able to wash 150-200 cars with that amount.

Scott, seams you are on the right track - "simplicity." Look at all the equiptment most detailer's have to haul around, water tank etc. and the expense of the purchase of it - not to mention the additional weight and wear and tear on one's work vehicle! I say thumbs to you and this product. I, myself, have just added detailing to my restoration service and know this is a big advantage over a tank etc. Not to say pw have their place and need in the auto detailing feild!

AutoNova is an unknown quantity at this point
Is there any way to get electric supply from your car without having a generator? I have all the tools and with QEW I ccan begin to go mobile. The only question is what to do about water and electricity for the vacuum?
