Waterless Car Wash – All Waterless – All the time

Hddtailn.com

Hddtailn is the Stateline’s only waterless car wash!  No other detail shops in the Northern Illinois area have made the step towards a more eco-friendly method of washing and detailing a car.

It might surprise you, but the typical automatic car wash uses over 40 gallons of water per vehicle!  The typical individual who clean their car at their home,  soap, water and a bucket, can use more than 116 gallons of water when the hose running!  (This is according to the US EPA) Think about how much water we are wasting when washing our cars in this manner!

Some cities, such as Tampa, Florida, have banned “water” detailing and require people to go to the local “water” car wash if they wish to clean their car.  This has given people and businesses very few options. Either not clean their vehicles, go to a local “water” car wash location or incorporate the use of waterless detailing system/ product.  Perhaps in the near future,  we could see a push have other states ban the operation of  “water” detailing or home car washing in order to prevent the large amounts of wasted water and runoff contaminants to be leached into the ground.

Hddtailn is a “waterless car wash” pioneer in the stateline area and has implemented the waterless philosophy in their business.  They do not use water in their washes and details. Many of their customers feel they do a better job of cleaning their vehicle with the Freedom Waterless Car Wash products than if they cleaned it with water. Their High Definition Detailing philosophy is truly catching on and people are taking notice!

Waterless Car Wash Demonstration using Freedom Waterless Car Wash products. This vehicle had not been cleaned in over 6 months for the purpose of shooting this video.  All four Freedom Waterless Car Wash products were used and 3 microfiber towels. Time was under and hour, but could have been much less due to the time it took to film this video.

Perhaps, you should not let your car get this dirty, but if it does, Freedom Waterless Car Wash can handle it. Please NOTE, follow the directions on the bottle and be aware of the dirt collecting on the towel. If the microfiber gets too soiled on one section, please unfold it and refold it to a clean section. If the the entire towel gets too soiled, please put it aside and use a clean one.

Here’s how you clean using Freedom Waterless Car Wash:
Spray on, gently rub in and wipe off. Work in small areas at a time. We recommend starting on the roof first and going around the car in a big circle. Next you can clean the windows as you make another round around the car. The next round would be the hood, top part of the doors and the trunk areas. The final circle around the car should be the lower “side” sections of the car. This would be the door, bumpers, front grill, side quarterpanels ect. IMPORTANT! Please take the most care on these sections. This is where you will find the most dirt, grime, tar and even course material like sand and grit. If you feel it is too dirty to use Freedom Waterless Car Wash, stop and don’t continue. You can easily spray off the extra soiled areas with high pressure water and continue cleaning with the Freedom products. Freedom products are water-based and can be used on a wet or a dry surface.

Continuing on with the lower panels… The towel should be nice a wet from cleaning the earlier parts of the car and this will help cut through the dirt easier. You are almost finished. Once you have cleaned the entire car, go over it one more time with a clean, microfiber towel to see if you missed any spots.

You can clean the tires with the Freedom Eco Tire Shine at the beginning or after you complete the exterior.
Freedom Eco Tire Shine will clean and shine the tires with little effort, and all you have to do is spray on and walk away. It will dry smooth and not collect dust and dirt. If you do wipe if or rub the tire, please spritz a little bit on the tire afterwards. In about 20 minutes, you will see a smooth, slick surface that will not sling up on the side of the car. It makes the tire very clean looking and a shiny black. It has a medium shine and sometimes people call it a high shine.

After cleaning the tires, try using the Freedom Complete Clean All Purpose “Green” cleaner to clean the rims. Just spray on, gently rub in and wipe off. The dirt, grime and grease will wipe come off with very little effort. You can use this product to remove bugs and tar. Complete Clean is also a fantastic carpet and upholstery spot cleaner. Freedom Complete Clean and the new Freedom Eco Glaze will be the up-and-coming products for 2009.

Freedom Complete Clean and Freedom Eco Glaze will be for sale on Freedom Waterless Car Wash website in mid-june 2009.

Keith, from Dri-Splash Detailing told us that a customer of his asked him to clean his race car trailer last weekend. This trailer had been sitting in an outdoor storage facility for about 4 years. Since it was not covered, it was exposed to all kinds of weather. As you can see from the pictures, it did not look good. The owner said he had tried 6 different kinds of cleaners, but they were all too toxic and did not work well. When Keith caught up to him, the owner had a rash on his arms and the fumes were almost too much to handle.
Keith brought out the New Freedom Complete Clean All Purpose Cleaner to see if it would work any better. The owner was very skeptical of it because it was a “green” cleaning product and many of those don’t work very well. He didn’t think it would be strong enough.

As you can see, Freedom Complete Clean worked great! 10 hours later, they had a white trailer that looked new again. After cleaning it, Keith applied a coating of the Freedom Original Formula with the 2 waxes and ended up with a fantastic shine!

The owner is now having Keith do the sister trailer to this one!
