    Re: The local car wash - evil or partner? Remember our drought

    I vote evil. Rinseless or waterless once a week would be your friend.

    I work at these type car washes. I'm a prepper (I spray the cars down before you go in the tunnel). DON'T GO! I had to scrub the wraps two days ago. I can't even describe what type of bad things are on them.
    I work tomorrow. If I remember and get a chance I'll get a picture.

    Re: The local car wash - evil or partner? Remember our drought

    I think I see a theme.....
    So I toured the local stores and do not find rinseless so I will order it.
    Next, to find an hour a week to spend on the car - in shade.

    Thanks as always for the great feedback.

    Hmmmm.....that also means I have to vacuum my own car.

    I didn't get a picture today at work, but I can say I had to clean out the blower room. This has 15 air blowers to dry the car which is nice because it's a touchless dry. But the whole room was filled with mulch, leaves, some small screws, and rocks that blow out if truck beds....

    Electric power washer in the garage, maybe? When ever I use my power washer, I end up using enough water to get the ground around me damp and that's about it.

    good idea until you get one nosy neighbor that enjoys getting people fined.

    Until you can get some rinseless ordered, you can find Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere at most of our local Oreilly's Auto. It is the consumer version of the Megs Detailer product. Although a little pricey, it was my first experience with rinseless that led me down that path. It has amazing lubricity and smells good enough to drink, although I wouldn't recommend doing that.

    If I was ever in that situation I would put up some plastic on my garage walls and just wash in the garage. I hate the government trying to tell us what we can and can't do
