B&B,

I actually enjoy looking at your dry wash basic details more than I do some correction type details.

Keep up the great work and I am happy to see you staying busy as this economy is a living hell

Thanx man, nice compliment..... was wondering if anyone even checks this thread out. For the first time ever, I actually went out from business to business today and offered my services (had no appointments today) - and was able to pull these five and talk to ALOT of potential customers..... it was nice to get out there and wing it for once. I am not going to let this economy stop me at all! Thanx again Grizzly!
 
I also appreciate your posts here even though we both choose to keep our products used in private since they're not offered here which is respectful to the site. There is much to be said for dry wash products........not all but some.

Nice job yet again! And yes, I constantly check this thread out looking for updates. I plan no using the same WW you do so the more information and pics I can gather on how well it works the better.

Thanks for starting this. :xyxthumbs

This may seem overkill with the camera.....but my goal this year is to bring the camera everyday - I RARELY brought the camera last year.... Tomorrow - Full paint correction and interior, should turn out great!
 
Make sure your getting some before pics as well. Especially tomorrow for the paint correction. Get some before, 50/50's if you can, and afters.

Yeah - I tend to forget to take befores unless my guy reminds me lol! The first Taurus pic is a before (no sheen to it) the other 2 Taurus pics are afters. I keep forgeting to take the pics of the jambs as well - they turn out really nice with the drywash.
 
Looks good again! What do you do if there is a heavy film of dirt (heavier than you would like to see, whatever amount that may be)? Do you just soak the panel, do you switch to a traditional wash?

I will spray extra on the panel...... then lightly do a pass to remove excess filth, then go behind with the other hand and buff it in. Sometimes it will leave a slight film and a I will lightly mist the panel again and it turns out great.... Ive had to do this a few times with the nasty salt and winter grime. Most regulars are in great shape though cause I keep up on them.

The only time I have used water and soap is sometimes in the summer for my fleets that have bugs all over the grills...... and I only use it on the grills and on tires to clean before dressing, bugs can be a real pain by hand!

B&B,

I may have missed it,

but what do you charge for a dry wash on say the Mazda and two Fords?

I am at about $25-$40 depending on size and such and I traditional wash them which takes usually an hour or 90 minutes or so.

And how many $100 - $150 jobs are you able to do every month?

Just curious to see where other detailers are at in dfferent locations.
