    Dealership Cleanup Help!!!

    Hi, Autogeek

    Apart from doing details, my boss and I also go out to dealerships and pressure wash all of their cars. We usually would pressure wash the cars then have 4-6 people dry them with shammies. Some other companies use spot free water to just wash the cars down and do very little drying. Well we do have issues keeping employees, so I want some advice on how to get the cars clean without drying them. We don't want to sacrifice the quality. Do you guys and gals have any ideas on how to accomplish this. I want to clean as many cars as possible as fast as possible. What do you all think about using a hot water pressure washer with filtered soft water. Or is there any solution we can spray on the cars through a pressure washer that will lift the dirt off to where we can just rinse the dirt off with soft water? Any advice would be great. Thank you

    The only way I know to dry the cars is with a Water Sprite chamois. Can you share info of what you charge per car and how many cars you wash a day?

    I'm sure there are some other things "advertised" out there to do what you a looking for. Maybe some product could be added to solution tank of the pressure washer if yours has one.

    We charge around 1.85 per car and typically wash around 300-500 cars a day.

    Whats the cheapest way to get spot free water. I was thinking about getting two guys to soap up the hood roof and trunk and then another guy rinse the cars down making it for an effective and quick wash. When we dry each person spends about 4 minutes a car.

    Maybe wash the top parts of the cars as you suggested and dry the tops with a water blade
