Entrepreneur combines passion for detailing, landscaping with businesses

KOKOMO, Ind. — The small business owner strives to take care of customers with American-made products and personal service.

KOKOMO, Ind. — Zach McKillip put his landscaping business on hold after his detail shop took off, but now he runs businesses for both of these interests, according to the Kokomo Perspective.

McKillip owns two Top of the Line Auto Detail locations, said the article. Every step of the job is done by hand.

“You’ve got someone’s hands inside a silk mitt, washing your car,” shared McKillip in the article. “They towel dry it by hand, clean the carpets, clean the engine bays and get them looking as new as a used vehicle can look and keep a newer vehicle looking as new as possible.”

Both locations will undergo changes next year, and one will move into a new facility to be announced in the summer, reported the article.

McKillip took over an outdoor maintenance business, Quality Outdoor Power, in January 2014, stated the article.

Reaching new reclaim heights

There is a lot of variety in the carwash industry. Not only are there different types of washes, but the design, equipment, chemistry, staffing and service can greatly vary from one site to the next. However, there’s one non-negotiable constant in every wash: Water.

Since water — and lots of it — is so essential to this industry, it only makes sense to strive for ways to maximize every single drop. That’s where the reclaim process comes in. Collecting, rehabilitating and reusing as much water as possible is essential to protect the environment, the availability of resources and a carwash’s bottom line. That’s why industry leaders are currently driving innovation to find ways to reclaim even more water than ever.
