The Ultimate Guide to Waterless Fleet Care with MMCC

Everything you need to know about MMCC's waterless fleet care service — the technology, the process, the benefits, and how to get started.

MMCC (Mobile Mint Car Care) pioneered mobile waterless fleet valeting for UK corporate clients. This guide covers everything about the service — from the science behind waterless cleaning to the business benefits it delivers.

What Makes MMCC Different

MMCC is not a car wash that also does corporate work. It is a corporate fleet care business built from the ground up:

  • Waterless-first: Our entire service model is built around waterless technology
  • Corporate-focused: Systems, reporting, and compliance designed for business clients
  • Technology-driven: PureShield ceramic, ozone treatment, Fleet Insight Platform
  • Proven track record: Three years serving LIDL fleet vehicles, engagement with BP, Techtronic Industries, Turkish Airlines

Mobile Ozone Odour Removal (£50–£60)

  • Photographic condition records
  • Damage alerts and trend tracking
  • Environmental performance data
  • Export-ready reports for auditors and lease companies

How Waterless Valeting Works

The process uses polymer encapsulation technology:

  1. Spray — waterless solution is misted onto the panel surface
  2. Encapsulate — polymers surround each dirt particle, lifting it from the paint
  3. Wipe — microfibre cloth captures encapsulated particles
  4. Protect — polymer residue leaves a protective, glossy layer

Is It Really as Effective as Water?

Independent testing shows waterless cleaning with professional products and techniques delivers:

  • Equivalent or superior cleaning results
  • Significantly fewer swirl marks (no brush abrasion)
  • Added polymer protection with every clean
  • Zero water damage (no water spots)
