As the title says I am going to be opening up a car wash soon all hand no touch of machine, wanted to get some info from you guys on the products you guys use and the results they give. For example towels, wax, clay bars, interior, wheels and so fourth. Need some ideas on what products to use while getting the car scrubbed down and drying.

Go spend some time on Autopia and you will learn everything you need to know, and more.

Please tell your employees not to reuse the drying towels too often. Everytime I've gone to the car wash with a black car they have left swirl marks. Be sure to by microfiber drying towels.

+100 on Autopia...That place has a wealth of information on what to use for the pro or amateur. Really helpful. Hope you do well on your business...I've noticed that many carwash owners have bank $$$

Make sure you blow out all the cracks with compressed air so that when your customer leaves there is no water dripping anywhere. That is what pisses me off after I leave a car wash.

Hey Black,
Did you open the car wash? Where is it? Do you do engine cleaning?
Thanks,
