Bud, Thanks for the reply. You make valid points, here in Texas we are faced with the Clean Water Act more than other states. I believe Texas, California and Florida are the three states that seems to really enforce the CWA the most. In addition to the CWA, we also have periods during the summer where we are forced to conserve water and it's my understand that the full service car wash lby personal touch - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Anyone here ever compare steam cleaning vs water and soap cleaning? Just curious as I stumbled across a local detailer here that uses steam and advertizes as being an eco friendly. This is the first I have ever heard of this process although i'm sure you long timers are familiar with this.

Generic question here. What is the main cause for swirl marks? I have read everything from improper washing(hand) methods, to automatic brushes at full service car wash etc. Is there a place where I can go to read up on proper car wash methods to avoid swirl marks? Detailer, why is AT-5 sold privately? what makes it any better than any other of the sealants/protectants out there? You'veby personal touch - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Detailer, eleborate please. How so? Personally I feel swirl marks removal is part of doing this business is it not? Keep in mind you and others have WAY more experience than I do, so please feel me in on some of the ins and outs of this business. PM me if you want to, I'm just looking for some good advice on this.

Thanks detailer for your input. I understand the point you are making. I really didn't see it as Grumpy trying to get me to up sell, although who wouldn't like to make more money on a job than originally forecasted? What are you thoughts on the canopy idea?

Hello everyone, I'm about 50% ready to open a mobile detail business. I live in Texas and have been reading up on the clean water act. I went to price my trailer and 225 gl water tank and asked about a water reclaim system. The guy told me that he hasn't sold any of those systems, he said he didn't think Texas was really enforcing that regulation yet.
