Has anyone used EcoSmart-RU waterless wash and wax, by Chemical Guys. If so I wanted to get some feed back on what you thought about it, I'm thinking about adding it to my services.

[AnthonyGXP]

Yes, and I would recommend Ultima Waterless Wash + Concentrate.

No final buffing off wax.

EXTRA SLICK!

Nice, is this something you have found people have been receptive to or is this something most people dot really want they would rather go to a car wash? Also how much would you charge people if you don't mind me asking?

[AnthonyGXP]

I don't give customer choice between waterless, rinseless, or 2BM. Which method I use depends on how dirty vehicle is.

Customers usually don't know the difference between wash methods.

Tried it and also found it to be lacking on the slickness department. I myself use Blackfire and Ultima waterless washes. Also, the new Blackfire formula is much more concentrated as well.

[AnthonyGXP]

So you want to add this as a separate service for a basic wash?

[tdwheeler18]

Yes I want to add this as a separate service.

[AnthonyGXP]

I would charge your normal rate for a basic wash. This is just a faster more efficient way of doing it, especially if you're mobile.

[tdwheeler18]

The normal rate for a basic wash is $5 dollars, I would have to add some sort of wax and shine to make it worth my time.

[AnthonyGXP]

WOW! $5 per wash!

A waterless wash will only leave a minuscule amount of protection behind. Nothing substantial that I would feel right charging for!

I certainly would not wash a car for $5.00, unless that's the value you place on yourself and your work!......after cost of materials!

[tdwheeler18]

A basic wash at a Carwash is $5. I would want to charge more than that. I would mind charging for it as long as it adds something they would get a Carwash. Like the attention to detail, instead if just a bunch of brushes hitting there car.

[AnthonyGXP]

I was under the impression that's what you charged, since you're looking to add this to your services. So your looking to get into the business, but not currently in it?

If you're looking to do mobile washes, you could definitely charge more for the added convenience to your customers. You can go to their home, place of work, or anywhere.

Rates are dependent on locations market.

I used to use CG Eco wash , and after I found and used Ultima there was no going back....much much much more bang for ur buck....the only things from CG that I've found that are worth while are the soaps and their silk shine dressing

[tdwheeler18]

That's my bad I should have been more clear.

[tdwheeler18]

How did you us Ultima?
