Water Restrictions
Got 'em here in Palm Beach County, Can only wash my car on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 4AM to 8AM and 5PM to 7PM, and you have to wash it on grass.
I called about this, and they explained that its the CAR that is supposed to be on grass. Glad I checked, because it was taking a REALLY long time, I was getting REALLY hungry, and I was missing a lot spots.

Why don't you try rinseless car wash then? DP 4-in-1, or Optimum No Rinse.

We have them now in South West Florida too. It really sucks and they keep changing the the watering days. We actually had a lot of rain her this morning but the suns out now.

Oops ... I washed both in the driveway last evening. Seems ridiculous we are to blame for Water Managements error in over releasing water last year during hurricane season.

So they want you to drive your car on to your yard to wash the car?! That's nuts!

I hate these water restrictions too! My car is the dirtiest it's ever been. I'm really tempted to go out in the next rain storm and soap it up while it's pouring. lol Although this weather we've had today is just friggin nuts!

Well no water restrictions here in Canada just yet, but we are not allowed to wash our vehicles neither on grass nor on our driveway. Apparently there is a law that prohibits citizens to wash vehicle because the water could get in the sewer system and I guess the fear is that a bunch of toxic chemicals or perhaps a combination of chemicals could be bad...bla bla bla...I don't remember the excuse here but all I know that if I get caught washing my vehicle at home I'll get a $500 fine...man that sucks!!!
To be honest, I don't know the entire story. I'm trying to find the true reason...maybe Calgarydetail can inform me or anyone from Canada.
I think I'm going to try DP 4-in-1, or Optimum No Rinse.

I too live in So Florida. I am using QDs and DP waterless washes. Ive been using these since the retrictions began.
Killr you surprise me, the water dsitricts mistake has nothing to do with your responsibility to conserve water at this time. I agree that we are not totally to blame for the issue (I think mother nature shares the blame with the water district and our rapid growth in South Florida).
Selfish self-centerdness and ignoring the issue only compounds the current problem.
Just my 2 cents.
