THINGS TO LOOK OUTFor Safety

  • What is a high pressure cleaner?

    High pressure cleaner consists of a pump driven either by an electric motor or oil engine or any prime mover. The water can then be heated either by fuel oil, gas or electric heaters. The pump pressurizes the water to a high pressure thus increasing the pressure energy in the water. The nozzles at the exit converts the pressure energy into Kinetic energy i.e. high velocity.

  • Is more pressure better?

    No. Generally high pressure cleaners work at around 5 to 150 Bar but the discharge or volume of water is just also important. Today's machines use around 8 to 200 Litres per minute - too little volume and the cleaning effect (calculated in kW) is simply reduced.

  • What types of equipments available?

    High pressure cleaners can be split into four types:
    - Cold water cleaners
    - Hot water cleaners
    - Stationary and ring main cleaners
    - Specialist equipments

The more fats or oil contained in the dirt, the more need there is for a higher water temperature when high pressure cleaning. Water soluble dirt can be removed with cold water alone - there is not often any better result when cleaning water soluble dirt with hot water. However when cleaning fats, oils and pigments hot water gives a faster and cleaner result, while using less detergents than with just cold water.Always use recommended detergents, and read the manufacturers instructions carefully.

A dry surface will absorb detergent far better than a wet surface, however care should be taken in hot weather or conditions as the detergent can dry onto the surface - if in doubt wet the surface first.

Always do a test area first, and if there is a large area to clean - then do part of it at a time so that the detergent does not dry on.

Start at the bottom and work upwards

Do not apply detergent from the top down. If you begin from the top the detergent will run down and form channels down the surface, and will cause streaking or lines on the surface. Though this changes based on the vehicle shape and size.

Make sure you rinse off any detergent thoroughly, to ensure all the detergent has washed away, otherwise some detergents can leave marks on the surface.
Once the area is finalised then find an appropriate land that can be used for installation purpose and setting up the business with few key points in frame:

  • Shape & Frame: Its better to have a rectangular shaped area with margins and ample of space around it for maximum 10 cars to be parked in waiting for better enhancement & leverage to your business.
  • Front Premises: Ample of space for the to aaa7 from of the vehicles under wash or even for the incoming and outgoing of the vehicles to avoid obstruction at its best.
  • Right Selection of Space: Best places can be busy street with no official restrictions, corner land, shopping mall basement, around the same, Gas & Fuel station, Warehouses alongside, Car Service Centres at prime locations, etc.
Business set up at the right time should be followed by its marketing and advertising to the right clientele & market just to attract the high-end users to get the right services at the right efficiency. News broadcast through various radio partners, channel & newspapers for at least a month ahead to expand business under its right frame.

There are two basic steps in using and applying a detergent:
- application of the detergent to the surface, allowing it to soak the dirt.
-High pressure cleaning and rinsing of the surface.

A good detergent will force in and soak into the dirt, until the high pressure water flushes the dirt and detergent off the surface. The efficient time between is the period between the two. Only dirt that has been properly soaked and absorbed the detergent can be efficienctly removed, and a suitable good detergent will keep the fat and oil emulsified so that they can be rinsed away

  • Water based alkaline
  • Water based neutral
  • Water based acid
  • Solvent based
  • Foaming detergents

Extensive R&D with enhanced Data Collection through surveys is the major key to start or set up the business at the right location with the prime features & its requirement allocation.

Majorly if willing to start the Car wash business then strata and living standards of the people in that particular area is to be minutely taken into consideration. Higher the living higher the margin towards business revenue. Capture the location accordingly.

If setting up your vehicle wash business over highways or across the busy streets then sample surveys will be the right way to track number of cars passing that busy lane or highway.

Proper knowledge of the Civic Infrastructure by the official subordinates & also to stay updated about upcoming civic projects if any around that area to avoid future loss or deficits.
