    Quick wash set up

    So while I was doing some details this weekend my partner and I were asked about 6 times if we had time to do basic/quick washes for them. We didn't as we were doing corrections but it got me thinking. What if I did offer a quick wash, I'm thinking spray with hydrofoam and mitt wash and woolies​ the wheels, rinse and move on. Charge like $20 bucks, very basic. But I think it will create a relationship with the client

    I could swing that, more just trying to see if hydrofoam would be a good option as it's quick and these customers just want a better then tunnel wash experience and done in a quick time. I could play around with prices. Just trying to get it all out and see what input you amazing members have to add

    Re: Quick wash set up

    I wonder if those people asking are the kind that value their time more than the finish of their car. You know which ones? They rather just have a clean car in 10 minutes, versus having a quality wash done. They don't know "swirls from squirrels" as Mike would say.

    It's exactly those people, but many times there also the ones that want to treat themselves around tax time or things like that or are known for having a "clean" car.

    Re: Quick wash set up

    A suggestion would be to power wash the car and then onr or rinseless wash it. No point in lsp since they just want a quick thing. Or keep a good spray wax and apply it as you dry. For the wheels, power wash and then wash with either apc or a fall out dissolving wheel cleaner, make it as quick as you can and charge accordingly.

    I considered this route but I think the hydrofoam way would be the fastest and best results for the time and money

    You might be on to something. From where I stand---most people just want a wash.
    Highest protection at lowest cost!
    A stop and run too...

    I say give it a shot.

    I'm considering it, rinseless is a good idea but I loose speed, and the Xtra gloss from hydrofoam I think would be the one up for many

    Re: Quick wash set up

    Read the directions re using hydrofoam. I am not sure just how that works---if you read the directions over at the store, kind of confusing.

    Thought it was poorly written. Just how does a person go about using hydrofoam?
