    Does anyone pressure wash a car before using a rinseless wash method?

    I'm having a hard time selling Rinseless washes to customers. I can see why people are skepticle but between my two black cars and my Fiance's black G37. I have only had success with the Garry Dean bucket method. I've started a business offering only rinseless washes but nobody wants it. I'm considering just switching to a traditional method. I would really like to offer Traditional detailing using a pressure washer to free up loose debris and then using a rinseless method from there.

    I have the same problem. I am not able to get anyone to agree to a rinseless wash on their car. If you have access to a pressure washer, why not just wash the car with a traditional wash using a two bucket system and regular car soap?

    I do in the winter time. Either coin op or touchless drive thru. I won't do a rinseless without something to remove the grit first. In the summer I only do rinseless washes if the car just has dust on it. If it has rained since the last wash, I do only a traditional 2BM.

    I use GD method with either DGRW+AW (winter) or Blackfire RW (summer).

    I wouldn't mind doing a traditional detail just don't have the coin at the moment. I would still prefer a quick pressure spray with water and then rinseless detail

    The advantage of Rinseless wash is been able to reduce the chances of getting water marks on your paint! Also you will be able to work by sections without creating a lake after you finished washing your car. According to some manufactures they say that you only use about 5 gallons of water or less when your washing a car but with a Rinseless wash you are been eco-friendly and as well making it seem like your car was washed in a traditional way but without creating a lake! I wash my SUV with Rinseless wash since I tend to wash it myself and as well here in California the water is super full of minerals! I still haven't bought a water softer system in order to reduce the chances of getting water marks! The results are great with Rinseless wash.

    You are Marketing the product incorrectly.

    What you are selling is an "EcoFriendy Car Wash"

    Reinforce that you are able to produce the same results without wasting precious water.

    As the expert you have to sell itusing that expertise. If they have issues with a rinseless wash how do they feel about you applying a DA, rotory or sand paper to the car during a detail/paint correction?

    Thanks, I will definitely try the eco friendly approach. Kinda hard in Florida where everyone drives diesel trucks and live in a Swamp! lol

    Why even give your customers the choice? You should be able to determine how to wash the cars safely without risking unnecessary damage to the paintwork.
