This is exactly my thought. If I target realtors in high social economic areas, I'm pretty sure they will appreciate the convenience of a mobile waterless wash. Done in 30mins and they didn't even have to leave their desks.

Preferably not livery as they wouldn't own their own vehicles used for business so there's no incentive for them to spend $60-70 (australian dollars) for a waterless wash. I chose realtor because they have to get around to clients and care about their image enough to not have a dirty car. So...

I'll just rephrase it to "professions whose car affects their image such as realtors". Not concerned with how much money they make etc. Just want to know who to approach that will have a higher chance of accepting my services because I can provide a more convenient and premium service at a cost.

Yes that is correct

The only one I can think of at the moment are realtors. I want to approach them (and other professions) as they use high end cars (usually) and offer them the convenience of a 30min waterless wash that I believe they will appreciate. Thanks Autogeek community!

Hence my exaggeration about feeling contaminants. Do you use the nanoskin pads for all claying? or only for situations where you know you have to do paint correction afterwards?

I haven't found much difference or any in results when comparing a surface that's been 100% clayed to one that's 90%. What I have found is that to get that last 10% of perfection, I can be claying twice as long to get there. From a business point of view, if I can retain the same level of...

So let me expand, do the surfaces have to be completely clayed 100% smooth as glass, not a speck of contaminant left? Or will a 90% clayed surface (only has very minimal roughness when doing the bag test) be sufficient for using a DA polisher? Hopefully you can understand my exaggeration. Thanks.

Good idea. Nobody wants to come back to a clean car with dull looking tyres. Thanks.

Guess we both learnt something today. Thanks Marc.

I can get Opti-Clean as a 3.8L concentrate that makes 15.2L for $62 whereas the ready to use 500mL bottle costs $17. I can't get Ultima in Australia though.

Totally forgot about Opti-Clean. How does it compare with other waterless washes on the market?

I don't believe there's a law which forces me to disclose this. I plan on doing this right in car parks, private business parks, public spaces so I don't see how I could pitch it any other way other than a waterless wash as people will be asking how I plan on washing the car and wondering where...

So back on topic, any tips for approaching businesses? Pricing, products can all be adjusted and changed around so I'm not fussed about that.

Keep in mind I'm also taking into account middle to high socioeconomic areas. So $70 is not unreasonable. I don't want to approach dealerships because they will probably ask $3 per car or something like that.

Where are you from? And what do you think would be reasonable? AUD $70 converts to USD $51

I'm from Australia. We pay more for everything down here.

Is there a reputable waterless wash that's available in bulk sizes?

I think it's fine for lightly soiled cars but any more than that no. I'm not really fussed about what product I'm using because I can get all that later. Just trying to work out my approach. Thanks for the tips.

Waterless wash but with ONR and other rinseless or dedicated shampoos (haven't decided yet, not too concerned with this atm). No bucket. I said I'm from Australia, so Australian dollars. Google converts that to USD $51.
