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.”

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.

UK-based Miracle Drywash Appoints Exclusive Australian Distributor

Aquafree Drywash Pty Ltd now trading as Miracle Drywash Australia

The Waterless Carwash Product - Miracle Drywash

Crawley, UK and Melbourne, Australia – June 2007: Rapidly expanding Crawley-based company, SJK Products Ltd, manufacturers of the waterless carwash product, Miracle Drywash, has appointed exclusive distributorship to a Melbourne company. Aquafree Drywash Pty Ltd., now trading as Miracle Drywash Australia, has enabled Miracle Drywash products to be readily available throughout Australia.

Ursula McCoy, MD of Miracle Drywash Australia, feels the product has got a bright future in the country where she has now been living since 1989. Originally from Derry, Northern Ireland, Ursula first came across Miracle Drywash in November 2006 when she was on holiday, staying with her brother in law in Scotland. He was running a caravan park website at the time and was interested in the product as it is very popular with caravaners.

Ursula McCoy, MD of Miracle Drywash Australia

“My brother in law had a bottle of Miracle Drywash so we tried it out and really liked what we found,” she recounts. “Water restrictions are in place in all major cities of Australia due to the severe drought that we are currently experiencing. These include restrictions on watering our lawns, using sprinkler systems, refilling swimming pools and washing vehicles, so I think Miracle Drywash is a greatly needed product over here.

“What I really like about Miracle Drywash is that it builds up a really good polish after repeated use. You can tell because the water beads over the polished surface. And I know this is something that other waterless carwash systems don’t do because I researched into what else was on the market,” she asserts.

“Miracle Drywash is a convenience product. It makes it so easy for those living in apartments, for example, to clean their cars – and it will also save a great deal of Australia’s water,” she adds.

SJ Khebbal, founder, is delighted with Ursula’s appointment as his Australian distributor. “That’s Australia in the bag and we are now in talks with possible distributors for several other countries. Things are going really well!”

Miracle Drywash is a 21st Century, environmentally friendly, waterless car wash product that allows you to wash and polish your car, motorbike, caravan or motorhome without using water, and so saves water. In fact, each 500 ml bottle of Miracle Drywash saves 1 tonne of water! The product contains no chemicals that are harmful to the environment, and in the UK, it is endorsed by South East Water.
