Where do you find the water $mart and/or Yvan`s model? Is it an actual document/procedure or...??????:think:
So cal B6
There is no manual or procedures for a watersmart model. Watersmart implys using best practices, reducing your wet, waste, and carbon foot print. This is not "my" model, but a way of working that saves time, product, and reduces waste.

Thank you again for your concern on my mental, spiritual and financial health, all are in perfect shape.

You are attacking these individuals, trying to find flaw in their business(es) and work but it is working for them and the profit gained from his research is not always calculated directly but more so comes from the indirect benefits cumulatively working together.

It`s is very interesting to me from reading these posts how far many people will go to show their ignorance. Name calling has never worked in a social structure and is always counter productive. It just goes to show that some of our higher education facilities are really just diploma mills and are interested in taking students money in return for a piece of paper that allows them to think they are intelectuals when they are really someone who is morally reprehensible.
I attended the MTE with the sole intention of learning as much as I could about Eco Detailing.
What I found was the majority of the attendees still have not figured out that the future is biting at their heels much like many posting here. I liken it to IBM and the DOS crowd in the early 80`s and their view of early personal computer operating systems. They knew the future was OS2 and no little company called Microsoft and Windows was going to pass them by. As they say, the rest is history.
There were only about 15 people attending Eco Detailing discussion presented by Anthony, Stuart, Prentice, Jim and Yvan. What a shame because it was very well done and forward driven.
Eco detailing is in it`s infancy and there are still more questions than answers, I believe there is only one way forward and that is not washing vehicles with kerosene as my father used to or dumping filthy water down the storm drains as many of us do today.
Many will not agree with me and that is fine. We all have choices to make in life and each has to decide the path they are willing to take.
For me, I want to thank Yvan, Anthony, Stuart, Prentice and Jim for sharing the knowledge they have already aquired and I look forward to working together with them in the future sharing ideas on how we can make this planet a better place for my grandchildren and yours.
a couple of quotes I saw recently that might be relevant here:
"The difficulty in change lies not so much in developing new ideas, but in escaping the old ones" John Maynard Keynes
and one I cant remember precisely but along the lines of:
If everyone agreed with my ideas, I know I wouldnt be changing enough..."

On behalf of the roster of presenters, I say thank you for your time and kind words. While the seminar was not the most attended, those who were there made the effort to be there and to listen and also question.
Going down the ECO route is not hard, nor expensive, but provides many benifits now and in the future.

Great quotes, and cogratulations on your new UK ECO forum on Detailing World, keep up the clean work(a veiwing of this post in particular is worth the time to read http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=100846

There are some traditional washes that incorporate polymers as well. They just aren`t OTC offerings.
As prommised here are some pics taken with a xenon light and directly facing the car. In normal lighting that ant customer would experiance(sunlightm parking lots, in there garage the paint is perfect. With the Xenon we see what 45,000 miles of all weather driving, snow removal, no waxing, no polishing, no paint corection will do. In that time the car has been washed at least 150 times, always with waterless wash. The pics were taken using the same section of the car as before (the sun and temp have not consprired to allow outdoor pics, but that should happen this week.

Thanks for the pictures, Yvan. The straight line marring is consistant with the technique you described for waterless washing. Of course if you and your customers are happy with the results that`s all that really matters.
Actualy those scratches could easily removed using a one step or light polish. I wouls also not put them down to washing, but more to snow removal. Where I live police frown upon a car with snow on it, meaning it must be brushed off(and any dirt that is under teh fresh snow gets dragged across the car, causing scratching). In our climate we see cars with very minor scratching on teh sides, even less as you move down teh car, but the hood, roof , and trunk lid look like they went through a war. That war is the snow brush. We painted a mark made on a hood by a mechanic last week. The car had 2000 kms on it and you would not believe the scratching on the upper portions of the car, we had to correct teh paint on the upper surfaces just to get the paint to match.

Just wondering if you use traditional methods for wheels and tires when using a waterless wash.
Frito,
If they are that bad, then usually so is the car and it`s a complete conditioning being done..thus, I have my steamer on and take it to the wheels.
In most cases, like you, I will use ONR with a few brushes and it works very well.
