The informed customer would not care either way
Which is fairly simple and straightforward. I do understand that Dry Wash n Guard now has a plastic cleaner to correct this situation. As a matter of fact we are often asked; "You don't use dry wash do you?" We have never answered yes, so I do not know what the result would be if we had said yes, I just think back to that parking lot situation with the mislead consumer or miss-understanding dry wash professional.
The environmental standards for run off are simple in that no used wash water is allowed to enter a storm drain. The informed customer would not care either way, provided you had educated them in advance to the dry wash methods and why it works, how it works and what they get extra out of it.
The gentleman who was enraged even called security and the property manager to have him thrown off the property, needless to say it meant no detailers, water or other wise were allowed on the property, eventually I think our franchisee in the area got back onto the property after jumping thru some serious hoops and long explanation and best attire in a long meeting which included him buying lunch at the golf club for the property owner and manager? (When I discuss franchisees; What do I personally think of dry wash? Well I use the same method with a quick wax, so I am not hostile towards it.So should you use a product such as Dry Wash n' Guard or use a pressure washer to clean the automobile? There are competing methods and theories here and each side has valid Misting nozzles points and the debate is often quite heated if your follow the subject on bulletin boards or BLOGS in the auto detailing industry.00, so you will have to make your own decision as to which method you intend to use.
The informed critical eye, might be upset to see that hood vents and other things were not completely cleaned. So personally I use the dry wash method on my own vehicle and it works fine indeed. But if you put up a dry wash car to a car, which was washed with a pressure washer and then glazed or quick waxed with a spray bottle wax, the customer would not have a preference as long as you used a good brand of quick wax. I clean my show truck, semi, with quick wax bottle of spray and towel often, similar to the dry wash method because I never let it get too, dirty, the rest of the time I use the pressure washer. A detailed car using dry wash and pressure washing to the customer would be very similar and the average customer would be happy either way.
