wfp for car washing
« on: March 17, 2014, 08:34:19 am »
Just washed the family car over the weekend. Used the wfp water, you know the results were amazing. Is there anyone using wfp on their cars at home and if so why isn't there a system for car valeters?

The might go through to much water as you would need a good rinse of pure after using all the soapy water.

I don't know. All I did was fill up bucket with wfp water, add car shampoo and wash as normal. That's 10 litres. Then wash off soap using hose, about 70 litres. So not too bad. Only took 40 mins.

You don't even need shampoo....just wash the same as windows. removing old soap stops it getting dirty so quickly

This is the best way to was cars and vans... Snow foam.
You spray it on thick, it drags all the dirt onto the floor then rinse it off:)
Then you give it a quick spray with pure water.

Yes you do need some sort of cleaning agent when valeting/detailing vehicles, and is totally different to cleaning windows.

Nope.
Snow foam will not remove all road grime off on it's own, it gets most of the grime off, but will still need to washed by hand.

There are many valeters/detailers who use Pure Water through a DI Vessel for rinsing-off.

You can use tap water with shampoo and then rinse with tap water.
For the final rinse, use the Pure Water.
If your vehicle has a decent coat of wax, use a slow open flow of pure water to 'chase' the water off the paintwork, this method will leave the vehicle almost dry, and what little water is left will leave no watermarks/spotting.

It depends how dirty your car is.
I washed my mums black audi and my van at the weekend, snow foamed them both twice as they were really back.
Went back over dried them off and it was spotless

Not a good idea to show your car and registration number online.

Its to do with cloning which is a growing crime at the moment.
Yes somebody could walk down the street and get your car details or see you driving about
but why increase the rick by putting them online for many more to see.
