CMH empower current and potential vehicle owners, throughout South Africa with financial services, car rental, full maintenance leasing, insurance and marine leisure. Looking to restock your workshop, fill the kitchen shelves or replenish your cleaning supplies? Not only will it improve working space, it will also prevents interruptions, and helps restructures companies to save money and operate at a better profit margin. The Green Machine renders traditional wash bays inactive and saves you millions of litres of water, time and operating costs, all without and sacrificing quality or productivity. In fact, the only water used in the entire process is to rinse the soft dust and dirt absorbing microfiber towel, which doesn’t scratch or damage the paintwork. Instead of water, the Green Machine uses a no-water protectant called Carnuba wax that both cleans and waxes and remains on the body of the car to give it a shiny finish that doesn’t damage the paint. UV rays make the paintwork of a car fade and discolour over time. Fundamentally, the Green Machine involves a total cost reduction of 50% for the entire washing process. Due to the lower water consumption, there is a 95% water cost reduction for each vehicle cleaned. Also, because of the major decrease in the need for water and electricity, operating costs are brought down completely, creating a more profitable process. The Green Machine renders all wash bays inactive, without the necessity of a wash bay there is more space for the workstation. With the competence of the mobile Green Machine that comes to the car, no vehicle needs to be moved from the workshop to a secure parking space at the wash bay. The vehicle can be cleaned where it is parked, improving vehicle security because it doesn’t need to leave the eyes of the workshop. As a result of less transportation around the workstation, insurance and labour costs decrease as fewer risks and services are involved. Without the need of a wash bay, that redundant area can be extended to increase the size of the workshop, thus providing more space for vehicles to be serviced, which results in additional potential customers. Some businesses build a brand new wash bay to accommodate their car washing needs and don’t realise that this can be easily prevented. Another opportunity the Green Machine offers is the chance to close off the inactive wash bay area, allowing the business to downsize, saving money on rent space. The waterless car wash provides a complete all-in-one vehicle wash, wax, protection and polish in less time than a traditional car wash, including rims and tyres. The same product will clean the glass windows and the wheels, saving time during the entire process on those difficult areas. Once the car has been tended to at the workshop, there is no need for it to be moved to a separate floor for washing. With the convenience of the Green Machine, workflow in the workshop doesn’t need to be interrupted by issues with working space, repositioning cars, cleaning up unnecessary mess and confusion. There is no need to carry rags, mops, buckets, hosepipes, newspaper, shampoo, wax, sponges, chamois, etc. The neat little Green Machine has it all in one easy application.
