#23 - David Elliot - Secrets To Waterless Car Washing

David is director of marketing for Pearl Waterless Car Wash Products and Retired Master Sergeant, he spent 20 years in the US air force.  - In 1998, a little over 1/2 way through my military career, he started working with an MLM company who sold waterless car washing supplies, and realized that their product was not eco friendly, did not work well, and could not be used in the sun or on a wet car. Being frustrated by this he decided to make a change and helped design the first truly water-based waterless car wash and wax with a chemist friend of his. We made it do all of those things. Since then, David has sold millions of dollars worth of products around the globe. Today, david's company has more than just the best waterless car wash products, we have an incredible line of conventional waxes, cutting polishes and paint sealants.   Recommended Books - The 10X Rule / The 4 hour Work Week / Crush it / Beyond the Obvious / Platform / Do It Marketing / Youtility / If You're Not First, You're Last   Recommended Podcasts - Entrepreneur On Fire - Michael Hyatt - Marketing over coffee    Social Media - Facebook.com/waterlesscarwash  / Facebook.com/PearlUSA   Twitter.com/WaterlessPro   / Twitter.com/GoPearlUSA     Welcome to the auto detailing podcast!
