Water thats a very unfair answer to give someone who is looking for good advice when starting out isn't it? not very helpfull at all thought better of you after reading some of your other posts.
Cheers Tony

Hi ian if you are just starting out i think the best way to go is spend a week end on the three cleaning site,s and read what other cleaners say .After a while you will start to use chemicals that work for you .There are some that we all use  ie rust remover - wine remover  (wineaway) fiber rince - traffic lane prespray -  M power from solution,s   .I also like chemspec products and the people at craftex are very helpful  .So try them out and after a while you will know as much as me Des

I didnt think that water was the wrong answer or a stupid one.  At the end of the day whatever system is being used (usually) the main chemical that is used is water.  Best, Dave.

Dont most of us use just water to rinse with?

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

well  the best thing to do is try as many chems as you can then find out what your happy with and carry what you think you need too

everybody on here as there fav. chems and everybody will say theres is better then the next try the lot and make your own mind up its good to have a guiding hand

 but at the end of the day its up to you what kind of thing you want to offer your custys

[brights cleaning]

see, water was'nt a stupid answer just a lighthearted one
and yes h20 is my main chemical, because i use it to rinse
