Do I need a Water Reclamation Mat?

[ARizzle]

Hey everyone, so after getting disciplined by my dad on how I ruined our cobblestone driveway w/ all the detailing chemicals, etc. He wants me to find something that I can put over the driveway to cover it from getting ruined. My question is what do you guys recommend, a large blue tarp or a Water Reclamation Mat offered by Chemical Guys?
Oh and where I live, there is no water restrictions so if I were to get the Water Reclamation Mat, I would just dump the water from the mat onto the street, instead of vacuuming it.

If it's just going into the street, tarp all the way.

I agree a tarp is your most economical option... and the smartest!.

^^^...Or something similar^^^

-The Sun shining on:
Blue-tarp-covered-cobblestone may leave them having a
bleached-out, or even a mottled-appearance.
{Use with caution (Dad, et al)...Remove from area ASAP!}


-BTW: Does street-side offer any shade?
If so, I'd cut out the middleman-work and use it as
my "effluent-catcher" to begin with.

(Can't do this, legally anyway, in my part of the World anymore...)

Hey Bob, there unfortunately is no shade on the street-side for me to work Do you think it would have that much of an effect if the tarp is on the driveway for about a few hours each time I wash?
