Miracle Drywash Now Available in Scandinavia and Beyond



Car care firm Peek Scandinavia is now reselling MDW and will be demonstrating it at a long list of major car shows throughout Denmark and Sweden.

Copenhagen, Denmark: Matt Jensen, former truck driver and founder of the car care firm Peek Scandinavia is now selling Miracle Drywash throughout Scandinavia as well as into several neighbouring countries. In addition to the waterless carwash product being available by mail order through his own website http://www.peekscandinavia.com, Matt will also be taking it with him on his ‘Roadshop Tour’ around Denmark and Sweden where he will display and demonstrate the product at a long list of major, high profile car and truck shows.


The Peek-mobile!

Miracle Drywash will be on show at the following events:
  • 21 to 22 June 2008, Amerikaner biltræf på Texas ranch, http://www.texasranch.dk/?pid=95&sub=54 in Klippinge, Stevns (south east part of Seeland), Denmark hosted by the Trans Am Club of Denmark. On display will be 800-1000 American cars, the majority of which will be Trans Ams. The Harley Davidson Club of Denmark and the Indian Bike Club of Denmark have also been invited to participate in the show.
  • 28 to 29 June 2008, Rumble #3, http://www.southislandcruisers.dk/ in Balle, near Vordingborg, Denmark hosted by the American Car Club called the South Island Cruisers. On display will be 200-350 American cars.
  • 2 to 4 July 2008, Power Big Meet, http://www.bigmeet.com in Västerås, Sweden hosted by Power Big Meet. 10,000 cars are expected to this show. Last year there were 12,000.
  • 14 to 17 Aug 2008, Fyns MC Festival, http://fynsmcfestival.dk in Odense on Fyn where 2500 bikes are expected and many rock bands will also be performing including Sandman.
  • 13 to 14 Sept 2008, Lastbilsmagasinets Truckshow, http://www.lastbilshow.dk in Roskilde which is a truckers festival with 200-300 lorries expected.
Matt first heard about Miracle Drywash in May of this year at the Super Rally show http://www.superrally.dk in Fredericia, Denmark where he was promoting Mozito Car Care products and Peek Polish. Another stall holder there told him that the owner of the website http://www.heavy.nu used the product and loved it. So Matt went online, found MDW’s website and got in touch with the company and placed his order. He will be demonstrating and selling the product at the above 6 shows with many more shows to be planned in the future.

"As soon as I saw that Marks & Spencers were selling it, I knew it had to be a quality product. I didn't even feel a need to test it so I placed an order for a shipment there and then. Now I’ve used it and it's a brilliant product and fast and easy to use,” says Matt.

This is the first time that MDW has been available in Scandinavia. Matt actually plans to sell the product into the Baltics, Iceland and Germany too through a network of dealers as well as through his site. Matt, a former truck driver, has been selling car care products since 2006. “We believe in high quality products – those that we sell are not the cheapest on the market but we guarantee that they are the best around. We have always promised to fully refund our customers if they are not totally satisfied. Needless to say, so far so good - we haven’t had to refund a single penny,” he says.

Miracle Drywash attends The Mini Day in the North


The day was hosted by
Trent Valley Mini Club

Miracle Drywash had a stall at the 'Mini Owners Club National Rally' ("The Mini Day in the North") which was held at Normandy Hall just outside Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, last Sunday on Fathers Day. Thousands of people and hundreds of Minis showed up and all went well apart from the weather. Ironically, there was too much water around for a while (there was a downpour). It didn’t ruin the day but it did put a dampener (excuse the pun) on the proceedings.



The spectacle for the day was the Miracle Drywash challenge to see how long it took to clean a Mini with MDW – that, of course, means doing two jobs at once i.e. both cleaning and polishing in one go. Have a guess how long it took? …It was only 7 minutes. Using a hosepipe, bucket, sponge, soap and chamois THEN wax would obviously take longer but they never managed to make a direct comparison – probably because the weather cut things short.



So how long does it take to wash and polish a mini the traditional way?

Miracle Drywash joins forces with Autoglass at White Rose Shopping Centre, Leeds


Martyn Hogg, Autoglass Site manager with SJ inside White Rose Shopping Centre

Friday (6th June), Autoglass, who regularly exhibit in the car park of the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds, invited Miracle Drywash to join forces with them for the day. White Rose had decided to make it an ‘Environment Day’ so it was particularly fitting to have Miracle Drywash there.

Autoglass has a permanent presence in car park 1 of the shopping centre so shoppers can get their windscreens repaired while they are shopping. On Friday 6th June, White Rose held an environmental day where environmentally friendly companies exhibited their products and services. So Mark Howe, Central Support Manager, Retail Repair of Autoglass UK, knowing about MDW’s benefits to the environment, invited SJ along to exhibit.

In addition to repairing windscreens, the Autoglass team were also drywashing shoppers’ cars and selling the MDW Car Cleaning Kit in the car park. Meanwhile, inside the shopping centre, SJ, Mark Howe and Martyn Hogg, Autoglass Site manager at White Rose were welcoming customers of White Rose to their stall, handing out both Autoglass and MDW leaflets, explaining the benefits of the waterless car cleaning system and answering questions.

It was the first time MDW had worked together with Autoglass at White Rose Shopping Centre and a great day was had by all.

Normandy Hall ‘Mini Day’ near Scunthorpe



This Sunday, Fathers Day (15th June)
, the Trent Valley Mini Owners Club will be invading Normandy Hall, just north of Scunthorpe for a Mini extravaganza. Around 5000 people are expected to attend!

Amongst the approx 250 Minis that will be on display (50 of which, care of Mini customers of the Astle BMW dealership - arriving in a procession!) will, of course, be the Miracle Drywash stall. Tim and SJ will be demonstrating to the thousands of Mini enthusiasts how easy it is to clean and polish (drywash) your Mini without water.



The poster, specially made for the show,
that
will be displayed on the MDW stall


Also on display will be crafts, static steam engines, motorbikes, show cars and much much more.

A highlight of the day will be the ‘Show & Shine’ competition where votes are cast for the best Mini, with the winner being announced towards the end of the day.

For a bit of fun, there will also be a ‘Water vs Drywash' challenge between two Minis, namely those of Mark Goude, Membership Secretary of the Trent Valley Mini Owners Club, and Peter Towers, their Vice Chairman and Treasurer. Both have agreed to not wash their Minis before the show so they should both be nice and dirty (the Minis, noth their owners that is!). Since MDW both cleans and polishes at the same time, the idea is to see how much longer the traditional water and wax method takes, and therefore, how much time you save by using MDW.

Click here for more details about the show or call the Trent Valley Mini Owners Club on 01652 657238

Here are some photos from last year’s show:

Miracle Drywash in the news!



Following on from Miracle Drywash’s star performance in a BBC TV report about its use at Gatwick Airport in October 07, the Car Cleaning Kit and its sister product, Miracle Drywash Valeting Kit has been getting quite a lot of media attention these past few months.

In February 08, the magazine ‘Cleaning & Hygiene Today’ covered the Valet Kit’s addition to SJK Products’ range.

Then in April 08, three more articles appeared; ‘Caravan’ magazine announcing the new Valeting Kit; ‘Motor Caravan’ magazine also announced the new Valeting Kit and also ran a competition, with 5 Valeting Kits to give away; and in ‘Sky Mag’ (which just happens to have the UK’s largest monthly magazine circulation of 7.6million), the Car Cleaning Kit was included in a list of environmentally friendly products as part of Ben Fogle’s ‘Your planet’ regular feature which also offered readers a £2-off discount code.

Lastly (so far, but many more articles are in the pipeline), ‘Motor Caravan’ magazine ran a review of the product by a reader, and we are currently sending out the 5 Valeting Kits to the lucky winners.

Revolutionary Waterless Car Cleaning System on TV


SJ Khebbal, CEO of Miracle Drywash
& John Rickard, General Manager of Fernley
at Gatwick Airport

Miracle Drywash and Fernley appear together on BBC TV

In October, it was announced by press release that Miracle Drywash - the revolutionary way to wash and polish vehicles - was being used by Fernley Gatwick Ltd to clean cars airside initially at Gatwick airport, then at the airports of Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Liverpool and Nice in France, Brussels in Belgium and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

BBC South East Today considered this big news both as a business story (local firm wins big international order) and a good news environmental story as millions of tons of water will now be saved, and thousands of litres of detergents will no longer be entering the river system via storm drains.

Airside at Gatwick, the BBC filmed interviews with John Rickard, General Manager of Fernley and with SJ Khebbal, CEO of Miracle Drywash. They also showed the product being used by a Fernley employee. It was a really good report which was included in several news bulletins throughout the day as well as being available on the BBC website. Here it is in full:


And here are a few behind-the-scenes photos:










You can buy the product online here: http://www.miracledrywash.com/purchase.php and it is also now available from Marks & Spencer.

Miracle Drywash – used by X2P, producers of the TV motoring show “Pulling Power”



A few months ago, Miracle Drywash had a stand at the Summer Magic Night at the Proms at Borde Hill Garden. See:

http://uptone.blogspot.com/2007/08/miracle-drywash-sponsors-spitfire.html

The event was being filmed by X2 Productions who happen to also produce the TV motoring show called ‘Pulling Power’. The cameraman saw a demonstration of the product and was impressed with what it could do and how clean AND polished it made the car. So he took a sample of the product to try it out.

The verdict: the product is ideal for a film crew on location because they often need to clean their cars but have no access to a hosepipe. And when they do find water, the process of washing their cars with it is a messy business and they can’t do it in direct sunlight either.

They loved Miracle Drywash and hope to do a report on it in a future programme!

Fernley Chooses Waterless Carwash System for the Cleaning of all Airside Vehicles at Gatwick Airport



Miracle Drywash is the Solution to BAA’s Strict Water Quality Environmental Regulations




Crawley, West Sussex: Crawley-based firm SJK Products announced today that the airport cleaning firm Fernley, part of the Europe-wide airport services conglomerate International Aviation Services (IAS), has chosen its product, Miracle Drywash, to clean all of its airside vehicles at Gatwick Airport.

Fernley will use the waterless car cleaning system to wash both their own fleet and several clients’ vehicles and equipment totaling over 120 at Gatwick, which include pushback tugs, baggage trucks, water and toilet servicing trucks, de-icing trucks, cars and vans, with each vehicle being cleaned on a 3-4 week cycle.

“We were faced with the problem of how to comply with Gatwick's Airside vehicle washing instructions, forbidding the use of detergents when washing vehicles. These regulations are one of the measures used by the airport to comply with Environment Agency water quality rules to prevent pollution of the rivers surrounding the airport," explains John Rickards, General Manager of Fernley. "BAA’s rules stipulate that the use of ‘water only’ in the traditional way to clean Airside vehicles is permitted, but a long term solution to this must be found. This new method of vehicle cleaning uses no water and therefore has the additional benefit of reducing the airport’s water consumption.”

Due to the airport controls, Fernley had to find a solution, and discovered to their surprise that the waterless carwash system, Miracle Drywash, was being manufactured virtually in the same town - Crawley.

“We’ve now trialed Miracle Drywash and found that it does exactly what it says it does. It saves us time; it uses no water; it doesn’t pollute the environment and has given us great results – satisfying both the customers’ and our needs. It is a very very good product,” confirms John. “We chose it for these reasons, but also because its manufacturer happened to be close by, and because we have found SJK Products to be an attentive and efficient company, responsive to our needs.”


SJ Khebbal, CEO of SJK Products with John Rickards,
General Manager of Fernley
at Gatwick Airport

Fernley presented Miracle Drywash to BAA as the solution to their water quality regulations and BAA approved their use of the product.

CEO of SJK Products, SJ Khebbal, is delighted with Fernley’s decision to go with Miracle Drywash. “To have been given approval from Fernley and BAA in turn is a real honour for us and proof that our product really is environmentally friendly as well as testament to its cleaning efficiency,” says Khebbal. “Most people are not aware that when they wash their car in the traditional way, their dirty soapy water is actually harming the environment. So I hope this announcement will go some way in educating people about this problem.”

Fernley intends to gradually roll out use of Miracle Drywash on airside vehicles in all of the other airports in which the company operates including Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Liverpool and Nice in France, Brussels in Belgium and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
