Our process is capable of cleaning and waxing a sedan car with about 2 litres of water thus saving thousands of litres of water which could otherwise have been wasted. Our car wash business can also be mobile and is not restricted to a static car wash site. We have previously gone to clean cars on the client’s premises. The process is also non-drip meaning that no water drips on the ground during cleaning.
