Ehhh, not really. Pros are optimized for efficiency, not quality.

Pros care about getting through as many cars as they can in a day whereas we care about getting the most quality as we can.

Anybody smart enough to earn enough money to buy a BMW can learn to wash a car properly and can certainly afford the $50-$300 to buy the stuff.

You can buy all of that stuff for < $50 & you don't need a bunch of specialized stuff.

* Deionized water is available at most grocery stores in the bulk water section for $0.49/gallon



* Microfiber is available at walmart, costco, or home depot for $3.50 for 50 of them
* A gallon of concentrated auto shampoo is $11 at O'Reilly's (like $0.10/wash)

Sure, you might not WANT to take the time to learn, but if you do we're talking $300 for a sweet setup and 20-30 min / week.

Any noob can learn to wash a car well; if you don't, then sure a pro will be better ...

but if you do take the time to learn (like 30 min total?), then any of us will do a WAY better job than any pro.
