One thing that we like to tell our customers to do is to start out timing themselves washing their cars from the very beginning. Each time the will get a little bit faster as they will be learning new techniques all the time which will help them to really reduce their washing time. We recommend that they don’t try to race the clock while they are washing but instead to just wash normally and let the time gradually reduce on its own. You won’t be washing at breakneck speed once you are familiar with the waterless car wash so you don’t need to try to go that fast when you are still getting familiar with it either.

Once you have reduced your time we would love to hear more from you about your first time as well as the amount of time it takes you to wash now. Seeing the difference in numbers is a great way to see the concrete difference of how much quicker at it you’ve really gotten. We would also love to hear what sort of tips you might have getting your time down so that we can share them with our customers. Every person is different so we love to know as many tips and tricks as possible to accommodate for all kinds of people.

You might be wondering how exactly the waterless car wash will cause people to drive slower and in all honesty it won’t have a direct effect on that, but instead an indirect one. The fact that people will be driving around in a car that is much shinier and is so nice looking, they won’t be able to help the fact that they will want to slow down a bit so that people can actually get a good look at their car. If you have used the waterless car wash in the past then you definitely know how good it will make your car look and you will want everyone to see it. Driving fast simply won’t let people get the time necessary to really be able to appreciate your car.

So if everyone started using the waterless car wash, aside from it doing great things for the environment it would hopefully also cause people to slow down a bit and be safer drivers. That would cut down on the amount of accidents that happen meaning that simply walking down the street or driving to the store for a jug of milk would be a much safer experience.

If you have been looking for new reasons to tell your friends that the waterless car wash could really improve their lives, telling them that it might possibly help to reduce accidents is a great idea. They might be skeptical at first but explaining it to them like we have explained here might help them understand a bit better. Everyone seems to be pretty willing to do their part for the environment but there are still those out there that aren’t so attentive to the things that they could do to help. When it comes to the safety of their community and the people around them though, it would be hard to find someone who doesn’t care. This is just one more reason why we are such big fans of the waterless car wash.

There are usually a few different weather conditions that can cause your car to get dirty. The first one would of course be dust and pollen. No matter what we do if the wind picks up and starts blowing around there is almost nothing that we can do to cut down on the amount of dust, dirt and pollen in the air. People often end up driving around with cars that look like they haven’t washed them in weeks, even if they just washed them with water a few days prior.

The rain, while of course being water also doesn’t always help. The rain makes the ground wet and mixes in with the dirt to make for some very muddy situations for sure. This results in a lot of mud being kicked up all over the place and getting your car all dirty. Even if the rain doesn’t manage to make a mess in terms of mud it can still get on your car and then dry leaving spots and streaks. This is also not attractive.

For some people though, the snow is just the worse in terms of their own personal comfort and the things it brings with it for their cars. All that salt on the road mixed with the dirt that gets kicked up onto your car and then freezes there. If you live in an area that gets hit hard with snow then you know exactly what we are talking about. None of these weather conditions usually result in anything fun for either you or your car but just like there are ways to protect yourself from the weather you can protect your car as well.

The waterless car wash has a special patented formula that leaves a protective layer on your car even after you have wiped it way. This protective layer can last for up to a month and will protect your car against all of those nasty things on the road. Can you imagine how bad all that salt on the road is for your car? If you aren’t protecting your car against it then it can easily eat right through the paint and other areas of your car. The waterless car wash will act like your own personal force field against the elements, something that you probably wish was also available for yourself.

Q: At one point should I stop buying Freedom Waterless Car Wash products by the bottle and begin purchasing them in bulk or in concentrate?

A: This is a great question and is something that many customers end up experiencing at one point or another after becoming a fan of the waterless car wash. In our opinion there really is no bad time to start purchasing bulk products or buying in concentrate as long as you know that you will be using the waterless car wash for some time to come. The reality is that most people that try the waterless car wash end up falling in love with it and end up wanting to use it exclusively.

With the concentrate or bulk products though it will require a bit more of an initial cost (although cheaper in the long run) compared to just buying bottles whenever they need to refill. This means that we usually suggest that our customers are washing a pretty decent amount of cars before they start to buy in bulk or concentrate.

If you have several cars parked in your driveway that you use the waterless car wash with and you like to wash frequently – every weeks or more then it might be about time that you started thinking about going bulk, concentrate or both. If you are constantly having friends come over and ask you to wash their cars or show you how the waterless car wash works then it can be much more cost effective to give them a little bit to take home and try if you already have a big tub of the solution.

The good thing about shipping in bulk or concentrate is that it really cuts down on our global footprint as it requires a lot less energy for us to ship just on large bulk or concentrate container one time compared to shipping all of those bottles many times. The reduced weight by ordering in concentrate also reduces fuel used to ship the items themselves while in transit.

If you are interested in reducing the weight of the products being shipped but aren’t quite ready to go bulk then you might want to consider our concentrate bottles. We offer regular sized bottles that are filled with a small amount of concentrate and all you have to do is add the water, shake it up and wash! Adding enough water to fill the bottle will be all you need and you will never notice the difference between that and our original product although you will be helping us to reduce our global footprint – something that is very important to us.

So whether you are looking to buy in concentrate because you are using so much product or because you just want to cut down on the weight of shipments, we have a way to work with you. We always try our best to make our customers and the earth happy and this is a great example of how we do that.

While not all of our waterless car wash products are going to be good for the household, none of them will hurt anything either. The all purpose cleaner that we sell though, that works great on the interior of your car is perfect for all sorts of different purposes around your home and you can rest easy knowing that if you use it on something that has become stained, streaked or smudged that it shouldn’t take all that much elbow grease. For most men without a lick of knowledge on how to clean up a mess in the house and doesn’t want to make their head spin by looking around in the sink, going out to the garage and grabbing their trusty bottle of all purpose waterless car wash solution is the next best thing.

This solution is specially formulated to not contain any harmful or abrasive ingredients so you shouldn’t have to worry at all about what sort of effect it will have on the surface that you are applying it to. Despite the lack of abrasive ingredients this stuff can work wonders at taking out stains and other things that you might have thought would be stuck on a surface for good. For those of you that have ever spilled something that you would much rather just cover up than have to explain later this can be the best product that you have ever bought. Not only will it do a great job in your home but it can be a huge help in the home as well.

So if you feel like you are a little clueless when it comes to cleaning in the home or you just want to have something on hand that is suitable for any situation then there is really no better option than the waterless car wash. We can’t even count the amount of times we have said that – it seems like the waterless car wash is good for just about anything.

One of the biggest tips that we are constantly hearing recommends that while you brush your teeth you turn off the water since you are not really using it during the time that you are actually brushing. Apparently this can save as much as 3 gallons per day but that would be assuming that you actual brush your teeth for the whole recommended time of 2 minutes which most people don’t. For arguments sake though why don’t we just say 3 gallons a day or about 90 gallons per month. That is quite a lot of water to just throw away.

Now let’s take a look at people who wash their car at home in their driveway. Many people wash their car twice a month and most households have two cars. Statistics say that washing your car with water takes 116 gallons and for 2 cars that would be 232 gallons. If you are doing these washes every month then it looks like you are using 464 gallons of water per month that you wouldn’t need to use had you opted for the waterless car wash instead.

When you put it into perspective, that is more than 5 times the amount of water saved compared to turning off the water when you brush your teeth, and that is if you are really brushing for 2 whole minutes. Most people have probably heard before that it is a good idea to turn off the water while they are brushing their teeth but have they ever heard that it is a good idea to wash your car waterlessly? Those in the know in the waterless world have surely heard but the average person probably hasn’t.

We seriously think it is about time for these sorts of statistics to make it into the mainstream to educate people how much water they could actually be saving when they use the waterless car wash. Most people are willing to remember to turn the water off while they brush their teeth so imagine if all those people also agreed to use the waterless car wash. The amount of water that could be saved would be incredible and we could use that water for much more useful things that don’t have waterless options. It is up to you though, which one will you choose?

If you are wondering what the heck this car is – it is the T-Rex. It is made by the good folks over atCAMPAGNA and the MSRP is around $50,000. Might be kind of a lot for most people but you can’t always put a price on something that is so obviously futuristic in this way. Just looking at this car makes us think of what will be happening in the automotive world 10 years from now as that is where it looks like this car belongs.

We were turned on to this car in the first place because Cameron from Hi Def Detail actually got the chance to clean it. We have said before that Cameron and Hi Def Detail often cater to client’s with much more stylish and trendy cars and this is exactly what we mean. It really doesn’t get much more stylish or trendy than this car right here. We are actually quite jealous that Cameron got the opportunity to take a look at this car and clean it up close and personal like that.

Knowing though that the waterless car wash is good enough for a car like the T-Rex is something that really makes us proud even if we didn’t get the opportunity to do the cleaning ourselves. Someone who owns a vehicle like this obviously cares a lot about the care and maintenance that is performed on their car so having this car’s owner choose the waterless car wash means that we must be doing something right.

We wonder how long it is going to be until we start seeing this car all over the roads across America. It is already available for purchase so we wouldn’t be surprised if it started popping up a lot more frequently very soon. We hope that when it does start to gain in popularity that the owners will be as smart and environmentally conscious as the owner of this one and choose the waterless car wash for their maintenance of the T-Rex. In our opinion it is the only sensible decision.

Anyone who has ever tried to run or operate a business knows how important it is that your customers stand behind your product 100%. Since it is your customers that will be the ones actually purchasing your product, having their full support is something that in not measurable in terms of dollars or cents in any way, shape or form. We often get great feedback from our customers regarding our products and we have to tell you that it never gets old. If you think receiving an email from a customer telling us how much they enjoy the waterless car wash, imagine how we feel when we get a 5 and a half minute video from one of them documenting the whole experience.

The latest experience like this came from Shawn over at Tedrow Mobile Detailing. Shawn is no stranger to the concept of the waterless car wash, using it extensively in his business to detail the cars that his customers bring in to him. While we won’t say what brand Shawn was using before, what we will tell you is that he decided it was time to switch to a superior product which is what prompted his decision to give Freedom products a try. As happy as Shawn is to be using our products now, we are just as happy to have him around as a customer.

Shawn was kind enough to create a video for us documenting his experience while using our product for the first time. He took a really dirty black Honda Civic and let out product really work its magic. Shawn is already extremely well versed in how a waterless car wash works and required no training before jumping in and really getting to work on this car. Throughout the video you can tell that he really knows his way around the waterless car wash and is definitely enjoying the experience of performing one using Freedom products.

Shawn made sure to send us an email letting us know how happy he was and included the link to the video he made. He told us that he would definitely be making the switch over to Freedom as his experience using the product was great and he reported the customer service to be top notch. If we can say so ourselves, that is exactly what we are striving to do for each and every customer so we are glad that we were able to meet our goals here.

So if any of you have had a similar experience using our products and would like to make your own video documenting your experience then don’t hesitate to contact us. This goes double if you own an auto detailing center or are a dealer of Freedom products. We would be happy to post your video on our sites which would gain a lot of exposure for your business. So thanks Shawn for all of the kind words and taking the time out to create this video, we really appreciate it!

LAHORE: “

 “I give demonstrations to convince car owners that it’s possible to clean their car without using water. I think this business is also about changing mindsets,” said Anas who owns a waterless car wash in Defence Housing Authority.

Fayyaz used to get his car serviced once a week. “On Sundays, I would go to a car wash and ensure that they left no water in the foot spaces, engine or the base.”

Fayyaz recently found Anas’s waterless car wash. After using the car wash, he said, “It is amazing that a car can be this clean without using a single drop of water.” He said he realised that using water for cleaning the car damages the paint and rusts the metal in the long run.

Anas uses a water-based product and microfibre towels to clean the metal and plastic surfaces. A shiner is used for tyres. “It saves time, conserves water and costs less,” he said. Anas has an authorised dealership from Waless, a waterless car wash business, in Dubai.

Anas said cleaning the car this way lowered the risk of rusting.

“A week after the ‘wash’, I just need to wipe with a cloth and it is shiny again,” said Gulshan-i-Ravi resident Salman who first used the facility two weeks ago. “A regular car wash costs Rs400 with polish,” he said. “This system is far more effective and lasts for over two weeks.

Fayyaz said the cleaning takes around 30 minutes. “If I am getting the floor cleaned, it takes another 30 minutes.”

Anas said he imports the detergent and polish. “The products are quite popular in the Gulf where water is scarce.” It is big in Dubai, Qatar and Kuwait and has recently been introduced in Saudi Arabia, he said. Anas has five men working for him. He also provides services at homes.

Anas said grit and sand sticking to the car floor is scabbed off with a cloth and then Freedom Original, a water-based product with surfactants, wax and a lubricating agent applied for additional cleaning. Eco tyre shine is used for tyres, he added. “A separate product, which removes stains, is used for the car’s interior.”

Anas says a survey he conducted before starting the business had shown that power cuts and water shortage were the biggest problem faced by his rivals.

So far, he says, he has cleaned 35 cars. Most of his clients are from Defence, Model Town and Garden Town.

“I will soon start selling the products. Most people are keen on buying the products so they or their drivers can clean their cars.

Tauqueer Qureshi, a former laboratory officer at the Environment Protection Department, said the lubricant agents, silicon emulsifier, surfactants and light abrasives do not have any pronounced environmental hazards.

“Surfactants may impact the life of micronutrients in fresh water but the impact is probably negligible,” he said.

Conserving Resources: ‘A car uses at least 150 to 200 litres water per wash’

“It probably doesn’t clean the car as much as using water does. But it will serve Pakistan well as piped water is being used for washing cars.”

“It will not only conserve water, but will also save electricity,” he added.

Muhamamad Anas says he found a car uses at least 150 to 200 litres water per wash. Shawash, a local car wash owner, agrees with Anas’s estimate.

A Sustainable Development Policy Institute research report estimates that 60 gallons of water are used per car wash.

According to a 2008 Japanese International Cooperation Agency report, there are 350,000 cars in the city. Assuming an average of a car wash every week the water use comes to 7.5 million litres per day. At 2.5 litres per day, this represents drinking water needs of three million people, about a third of Lahore’s population.

According to a 2011 report of the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCSWIR), about 44 per cent Pakistanis (79.2 million people) lack access to clean drinking water.

A Wasa official said its tubewells pump water from an average depth of 150 metres.

Q: Is there any important information I should know about the waterless car wash before I begin using it?

A: Yes, there is a ton of information that you should know about the waterless car wash! The first thing is that the waterless car wash will be one of the easiest things you could ever use in your efforts to help to save the environment. By using the waterless car wash you will be literally saving hundreds of gallons of water per month just by yourself. If you start to tell your friends and family about the waterless car wash as well then those numbers can become seriously inflated, in a good way.

The next important thing to remember is that all waterless car wash products are strictly common snese products. This means that even though they are extremely easy to use, you will still have to practice standard common sense while using them. If your car is covered in dirt or mud or other abrasive materials then you should not just start the cleaning process right away. You will want to get the hose out and then begin to spray the excess debris off of your car before you begin washing. It does seem like total common sense although you would be surprised at how many people believe that they can just start rubbing in the waterless car wash solution with dirt and mud still on the car because it is called the waterless car wash. While we try to conserve as much water as humanly possible, there will be times when water is necessary, you just need to address when those times will be.

Another good piece of information for beginners to the waterless car wash to have is how often they should be washing their car. While some people are so dedicated that they are washing their cars waterlessly every week or sometimes more often, it doesn’t need to be that much. Some people will go for a month at a time without washing which is OK, although you will not get the full level of protection if you are washing that infrequently. We think the sweet spot is somewhere around every two or three weeks. This gives your car the maximum amount of protection while at the same time allowing you to keep your car protected but also to not have to be out there actually washing it every week or so.

As you can see there is a lot of great information that you should know about the waterless car wash and to be honest we could talk about this topic all day long. We are such huge believers in the fact that if everyone was using waterless car wash products that they would be able to make such a huge impact on the environment that we might be able to get rid of our water problems worldwide within just a few hours. To think about things like that really puts things into perspective and should make everyone want to rush out and grab a bottle of the waterless car wash right away.
