I`ve got an opportunity to do some work for a guy who is very very very wealthy, but who is also very very very environmentally conscience. He owns a huge company that develops land for commercial businesses. I did an employee of his car and she said he would love the idea of washing a car w/ only 2 gallons or less of water usage. He`s currently out of town (house in Israel), but wants me to do his car when he returns. This could be turn out to be a very profitable venture for me and I would love some advice on what product line to use that is the most environmentally conscience. I`m not sure what type of car it is, but I willing to bet it`s a hybird fueled vehicle. I currently use DP 4 and 1 for my rinseless washes, but was thinking of going all Optimum for his car. I have the Poli-seal already and a little OP. Are their (optimum) dressing and other products okay for the environment too? Thanks!

I would use Optimim Car Wax as it does not contain any petoleum solvents. Poli-Seal does contain some petroleum solvents. Optimum`s dressings are also environmentally friendly, as is 303 protectant.

ONR would be a definite as well as it uses no rinse water!

Optimum specifically markets their products to the enviromentally conscious through eco-green.

Optimum and Swissol/Zymol are all eco-friendly

Would you care to elaborate on eco-green? Thanks Scott, I was hoping to hear from you on this post. Do you have a contact at Optimum that I can call for more information on this?

This is what Scott was talking about.



Eco Car Care - Ecologically Safe (http://www.ecocarcare.net/index.php)



It is where I got some of my supplies.

You may want to consider Eco Touch Waterless Car Care (http://www.ecotouch.net)- non-toxic, biodegradable, petrochemical-free. Good stuff.

You can contact David through Optimum`s home page. I don`t think his orignal intent when he started Optimum Polymer Technologies was to appeal to enviromentally minded people but he recognizes that there is a huge untapped market with respects to car care and greenies.



No Rinse is a great way to wash a car using very little water and both dressings (interior and tires) are water based.

I think Simple Green is biodegradable for an APC...

Thanks for input. I was wondering what my options were for APC. Hopefully I can use SG to clean any scuffs or stains in carpets.

I`ve got Simple Green and its great, but remember you need to rinse it off well.

Poorboy`s APC is bio-degradable as well.
