Hi i am thinking about starting a waterless detailing business using the 3d products. This company seems to have a nice price, compared to other companies. I think 3d has the lowest price i have seen. Also, i saw that it is not verified not to scratch your vehicle.

So which products should i buy for my business, should i get hd or 3d. The only question i have is on which wax should i get first. I might be using HD waterless wash. Would the canurba wax work fine with it.

Waterless is a great option to have at your disposal, especially in states where heavy restrictions exist, but very limiting if it is your only method. It has it`s limits and you will lose some potential customers because they just don`t trust it.

I understand what you are saying. Some people may think that a waterless car wash will damage there vehicle`s paint. So do you think having something like optimum rinse would be good for people who don`t trust waterless car washes.

Even ONR can be a tough sell for some customers.

Not to mention that unless you know, recognize, and stick to within either product`s limits, you most definitely CAN cause damage to a vehicle`s finish. I think that`s what Nth Degree was getting at.

I understand what you are talking about. If the car is muddy or has caked on mud, a rinseless or waterless wash won`t be suitable for these conditions. I have no idea if there is a big market for it. I was just thinking about doing something new. I will just practice until i am good at it.

There are many waterless car wash products out there. I have been doing waterless car wash for two years and my business continues to grow. Hope this helps and best of luck!

My customers could care less what I use on their cars to get them clean.

I sell my wash and shines for 25.00 to 35.00. I tell them that the shine is from the polymers in Waterless Wash. It`s not true protection. I upgrade to a wash and protect for another 20.00 to 30.00 using Optimum`s Opti Seal. Takes me all of another 15 minutes and costs me about .35 to use it per vehicle. So easy to use and works fine with Waterless Wash. If 3D had a similar product, I would use it to seal with.

Yes, there is a market for this system. You just have to ask and then sell. Most of them have spent 12.00 on a tunnel wash and got nothing. You`re giving them a shiny, clean vehicle and tire shine for just a little more than that!

Remember, business is about selling THEN fulfilling what you sold. Nothing happens till something is sold.

Not to mention that I can still clean 3X the vehicles as did conventionally with the same amount of water in my tank.

There are so many sales pitches but I`ve only used one, price and they have never ever asked how I`m cleaning or what with. Not once and I`m doing 30+ cars a week.
