While driving past a car lot today, I saw a guy washing the vehicles. He had a tote in the back of his truck with what looked like a light blue tinted liquid being upstreamed through his unit (looked like a 3gpm gx270 home model).
I couldn’t see any other water source to rinse, or is that just how it’s done? Confused me. I admit I don’t wash fleet, but I thought I was starting to understand it more reading here.
My 350 gallon totes full of water look blue as well. If it’s a new car lot ,they usually just rinse with RO water to knock the dust of because the don’t get dirty from road grime etc.Just a maintenance rinse to keep them looking new is my guess
My 325 gallon tote looks blue when full too. My neighbor even asked me if I dye my water and almost didn’t believe me when I told him that came out of my exterior spigot.
Gotcha, just the optics. Makes the scene make sense, just doing a rinse, it’s a popular lot.
Took too much Sun today. It was actually plausible in my head that he was using a spray on solution that didn’t need to be rinsed off, like a protectant.
Lots of guys in DFW just use tap water and spend they money on a extra guy or two to chamois everything. Less than a buck a car but you could wash non stop for 40 years lol. Everytime someone asks if I do cars I just cringe.

Interesting @dperez. I just can’t see how ppl could make a living doing that,then again I get asked that same question about truck washing all the time. Lol
Volume volume volume
Going rate here is $1 a car too. You’d have to wash a car every 15 seconds to earn what you can for a house here per hour. I’d rather claw my eyes out. Lol

I was just going to say the gunner is on the trigger about 20 seconds a car. Maybe three lots a night on the same strip for an easy 1,500 pieces. Likely a lot more if they bump a few here and there
