Anyone run a hand car wash?

[J012E]

I have the opportunity to invest in a local hand car wash which is profitable and has the potential to grow.

My only concern before investing is the chemicals/soap/detergent/cleaning liquids used aren't branded and therefore I'm not sure they are up to the standards I want and expect.

Does anyone know of a fairly 'green' commercial grade equipment that is financially viable but not damaging to cars so that I'm not sued later on?

Thanks

Thinking back to the hand car washes I've been to over the years, I never noticed any brands.
One thing I do notice is that they tend to have plain IBC tanks full of soap.

I usually refuse the free air freshener at the end, they usually stink of cheap perfume.

In my neck of the woods, they are all operated by foreign guys.

One local to me has Autosmart branding around it but whether they actually use their stuff is another matter

I owned one for years. Autosmart supplied all the stuff.

Search for tango car wash.. autostart supply many of the quick wash trade.

Thanks for all the tips, I've seen autosmart elsewhere so will get in touch with local suppliers.
