Mobile Auto Detailing and Mobile On-Site Car Washing - How Much Water Do They Use?
Having built the largest mobile car wash business on the planet and the most efficient systems in the industry over a 27-year period before bedtime, people still email me and ask me about the industry. Not long ago claimed to be someone my e-mail, interested in setting up a mobile car wash company, and he asked the following questions:
"How many gallons of water used must be washed?"
"How many gallons per day as a mobileTo use the washer? "
"How many cars you can in an 8-hour day to do?"
Well, for our systems, a really dirty SUV could 7-10 gallons max, once you get good at using 5-6. Wagons between 3-5 gallons, and if it is well over 2.3 gallons per car. This is because high-pressure cleaners only use about (5.5 hp at 1800 psi cumshot) 2.3 liters per minute (20 seconds, 40 seconds) rinse. How many liters per day, figure a crew of two on a busy day, 60-carwash, or 80-100 if you do not wax jobs, what happens hardly ever do.
A 200-gallon tank is a lot of bread, I recommend that you use a 110-liter tank of bread, if you have a pick-up and put it in the back when the truck is less than a 1-ton. Again, this requires a little more patience when driving.
You must know that this business is not an 8-hour workday yuppie type of industry. They work when the customer needs them. You can get up early one day for the rental car, working late on another dayCleaning school buses to 10 clock (BusWash.com) and some customers will demand at the weekend, especially fleets, including Sunday, if you want to get it all done on time.
If you are a wimp to work more than 8-hours work to join the Union, and forget about this industry all together. Sorry to be blunt, but if you do not have what it takes you have no business being in this industry, it will Eat You Alive, you take all your money.
It is like an ocean wave, surf it, turn youragain, but it comes and it does not matter what's there. It brings you a fish and you pat yourself on your butt and drown you see this point? Again, sorry if you are the kind of science, government, or were workers of a protected child for a lifetime, but it is.

| Review by Derek Krzanowski (Merrill, WI) 2009-12-03 I have owned mine for about 2 years and still works like new. I have used for many things, including cleaning of the 2 games and a mode of training. The turbo nozzle that comes with it works very well on the bridges, but do not buy this kind of thinking that will work faster. To clean a 16x20 deck, you can count on spending more than a day to clean. It... Read more FAIP Powerwasher PWS1800-U reviews | ||
