Gate Aviation’s Plan to Wash All Vehicles Group-wide Without Water Made Possible with Miracle Drywash

The Apcoa car park coaches at Gatwick Airport are now being cleaned with waterless vehicle-cleaning product, Miracle Drywash, and other airports within the group are soon to follow Gatwick’s lead by abolishing the use of water in the cleaning of their vehicles to help protect the environment

coaches exclusively with Miracle Drywash, using no water

Crawley, West Sussex –Gate Aviation, a leading aircraft services company and part of gategroup, is to use the waterless carwash product, Miracle Drywash, to clean vehicles at a number of airports in the UK.  It has been cleaning airside vehicles at Gatwick without water for over a year already, and is now cleaning Gatwick’s car park coaches in the same way, with vehicles at Stansted, Luton and Liverpool airports soon to follow.

Not a drop of water has been used to clean Gatwick’s 140-strong fleet of airside vehicles for the past 18 months, thanks to Miracle Drywash. Apcoa car park buses take passengers from Gatwick’s car parks to and from the airport, and Miracle Drywash is already being used by Gate Aviation to clean 13 of these buses a week. In June 2009, this figure will increase to 23 a week.

“We want to be at the forefront of innovative and environmentally friendly ideas and we are always looking at ways we can reduce our environmental footprint” says John Rickards, General Manager, Gate Aviation Gatwick. 

“Miracle Drywash is both environmentally friendly and effective and we are very happy with its results. We’ve just started cleaning Gatwick’s car park coaches with it, and we will progress soon to Stansted, Luton and Liverpool airports.”

SJ Khebbal, CEO of SJK Products, manufacturers of Miracle Drywash comments: “When a company as large as Gate Aviation recognises the degree to which the traditional ‘bucket and sponge’ car washing method pollutes the environment – it is a powerful hint to other companies to do the same. The use of Miracle Drywash over the past 18 months alone has saved countless tons of water and prevented untold pollution of the environment surrounding Gatwick Airport. We are very happy that Gate Aviation has decided to increase their use of Miracle Drywash; their contribution to the environment will be immense.”

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:

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.
