      How fast you must work to get that all done in 90 minutes and done so well besides!

      In what appears to be a parking structure, is there a floor drain? Or do you vacuum up your waste water?

          Thanks all.

          Dave, each vehicle takes about 60-90 minutes, not all of them together. I wash all these vehicles weekly, I have a good system down.

          There are drains in the underground garage. Four of them.

            Great work, Nick.

            Have you thought about Tornador Gun for interior work ? I underestimated it big time until I saw Renny Doyle's demonstration during Detail Fest 2012. It can really speed up interior cleaning. However it requires minimum 20-gallon 90-psi air compressor for effectiveness.
