for anybody who's looking to start their own car cleaning business on a tight budget they might be
asking themselves if they really need to go for a car drive because the biggest question mark over
them is the price however in this video today i think i may have come up with a genius solution
where i think you could probably save yourself over 100 pounds off a car dryer stick around
so why do people even go for car drives in the first place well mainly they like to be
very thorough and there's nothing wrong with that however if you go for a car dryer and you start
using it on basic cleans you're soon going to fall into a deadly trap which i'll now take you through
right now now i just want to put you in my mindset so let's roll back two years i bought myself a car
driver it cost me about 160 quid and then i realized that i could use it for pretty much
everything and yes they are pretty good however i realized that it was slowing me down because i was
doing my maintenance cleans i was sort of using it on everything thinking oh great the car is
going to look so much better yes that is very true the car will look better but you're going to be
spending so much more time doing it you're in fact going to be losing money and you will be worse off
and then you will soon lose the love for this business so it's really important that you make
sure that you know when to stop so my expensive car drive didn't last me too long so i ended up
chucking it in the bin and it made me realize soon after how much time i was wasting because
i was getting back on my maintenance cleans and i was just powering through cars and i had this
mindset where i said right i'm just gonna ignore some of the odd drips now i know that might sound
unprofessional but you can't saw every single drip out you can clean that car you can park it up and
then five minutes later you're going to get little spots come out where the mirrors are it happens
even if you did use a car dryer you still get in this horrible mode where you're like oh i gotta go
and wipe it i gotta go and wipe it and before you know it you've wasted way too much time so i went
back on amazon two years later and i got myself a car dryer in fact i didn't get a car dryer
i got a pet dryer now this one cost me around 50 pounds it's not the most popular brand ever
i'm sure nobody on god's earth's even heard of it but it's called like a grand par shark pet dryer i
don't don't ask me why i'm staying out of it i have no idea i don't know who was drunk in the
marketing department that day but anyway that's what i got a grandpa shark pet dryer and anyway
this thing's pretty good to be fair the more i use it the more i starting to like it because i'm not
just using it for car drying it does have plenty of other benefits for example when you're cleaning
out a manky car you can stick that car dryer down the crevices and you can blow out all the crumbs
instead of sticking a hoover nozzle in there all you've got to do is put the nozzle with the blower
and it will just push it all out in seconds it's also great for agitating the leather seats now
remember you get lots of little bits which get in the nooks and crannies and where all the seams are
what you can do is spray a little bit of chemical agitate it with a brush and start to blow it out
because it actually is a safer way of doing it and yes if you are going to go for a car dryer they
are going to be perfect at clearing up all the front grills because they do hold lots of water
i just don't think you need to clean the whole car and then go through the entire car during the
whole drying process it just seems like a bit of a waste of time if i'm honest these cars are still
going to end up getting scratched so unless you're doing these mega expensive 3000 pound cleans
honestly i'll just go for a microfiber towel and focus on the car dryer just for all the little
fiddly areas and they're also good for drying the wheels as well especially where you've got all the
bolts where they also hold a lot of water and if you don't blast them out you will find you could
get a build up a lime scale if you're not using deionised water and here's another great tip for
you if you are cleaning car mats and there's lots of sand because you've been at the beach
take the mats out of the car and give them a good blast before you start getting the power drill now
think about it if you've got a map full of sand and you go oh i know i'm just going to tackle
it with a power drill what you're going to do is probably push a lot of it in not everything
is going to come out however if you go for the car dryer first or the pet dryer sorry
all you need to do is give it a good old blast and it will probably reduce about 50 percent
of that sand making your life that much easier and not only that if you're going to be shampooing the
seats and it's winter and the temperatures are cold most of these are going to have a warm air
function so you will be able to dry the seats a lot quicker and also why we're on a subject to
winter if you're cleaning the glass and you're going to get condensation and mist up on the
inside where you're trying to clean the glass and it seems to constantly look wet this will
also help if you want to blow dry that glass as well at the same time honestly there are so many
great little features and also speaking of the glass where the windows come down as well i did
this on my ford s-max the other day i stuck the nozzle right down there and i blasted out and i
couldn't believe all the stuff that we picked up on there it was incredible so if you're thinking
about going for a car driver and you don't want to fork out massive amounts of money straight away
i do urge you go check out the pet drives first and please do not be ashamed just because i say
pet drives it doesn't mean they don't do the same job and if you want to try and save a bit
more money and go cheap and cheerful also go and check out my poundland special right here
