Re: Try and Wash Your Car Yourself and Avoid the Car Wash to Save Costs.

When you are not washing cars professionally, what use is a hose or a water pump? I use bucket, rag and soaps to wash my car. Nothing more, nothing less.

When you live out in the middle of nowhere like me and have a gravel driveway, washing your car is pointless. We let the rain do it. It's not worth the money or the effort to keep the vehicles clean, especially the truck.

I have never really felt comfortable driving a dusty car but I understand you.

Now I don't have car but when I have one in past then I used to wash it by myself. Although other people in lane had someone who washed their cars and took money on monthly basis but I saved a lot of money by doing this with myself.

I used to wash my car in my driveway at home any time it was needed. It was never really a big issue. I would still be washing my car at home if it were not for a "little thing" like a law that now prohibits washing your car yourself, even using your own driveway, hose, brush, soap and water. They want to preserve water for more important things like drinking, bathing, cooking, etc. not to mention what farmers need to grow stuff like food. Even the monthly utility bill for water has more than doubled in the past 12 months.

The commercial car wash bays have been required to install collection systems to recycle and filter the soap and water used to wash cars so it can be used over and over to conserve water usage. You are not even allowed to use any soap additives yourself to contaminate the supply. Soap is one of the selections you can use eht fo tuo thgir wash bay hose. You have a choice to pay by the minute for parking in a wash bay and water use, or drive through the auto wash bays while you sit in the car. Washing it yourself at home can now get you a big ticket for wasting water.

It is only a regional thing where droughts and water shortages are a big issue but it is something to consider as you watch what you waste.

Nowadays more or less each and every individual are trying their best to save money by any means. Washing car buy ourself is very good way to save money. Because usually people hire someone especially in my city and that person wash car on daily basis, and take payment on monthly basis.

That's where my country is slightly better. In my country, you don't have to link up with any central authority for your water needs. You provide water for yourself through any ethical means.

Things are strict in developed countries and they take that as a serious crime and I think every country should safeguard it's resources
