Is it safe...
To wash your car at a self serve car wash, clay. Then drive home afterwards to finish compounding / polishing / waxing?
I know the possibility of getting contaminates in paint is there, but I figure a quick detail before the compounding would suffice?

Unless your vehicle is covered in dirt or mud I don't see why you would "need" to take it there. If you live somewhere were you don't have access to a water supply or limited, try ONR to wash your vehicle.

Would you shower to go out on a date and then Run 5 miles to her house to pick her up? Of course it's not okay !

Re: Is it safe...
No one enforces those WATER BAN'S at NIGHT ! Wash the night before then put it in the garage or under cover. Then complete the detail the next morning !

I remember doing a Mothers 3-Step in one of those bays back in the late 80's on my Formula. I wasnt moving till it was done ... luckily I didnt need electric.
On some of the newer car washes they have plugs in the back of the vacuum unit, maybe bring a tent and your polisher and do it right there. (smiles)

I live in upstate NY, and I've never had to deal with a water ban (or restriction).... You're not allowed to wash your car at home, but you can go to the car wash and do it there???

I have done that before. I dont see any problems with it. QD it before you start compounding and you should be fine.
