What are people’s approaches to washing cars? It seems the options are:
- Wash at home on grass (not an option for us)
- Wash at home on the driveway (technically allowed where I am, but pollutes the rivers, although may be OK if you can find an eco wash and wax product?)
- Go to an auto car wash (not too expensive, but likely to scratch up your car)
- Pay someone for a hand wash (costs hundreds)
I just washed our car on the driveway, and tried to minimise run-off going into storm water, but it didn’t work that well. Have found this product, but no idea if it’s any good, or greenwashing.
Any other ideas?
To be honest we don’t wash it that often, but are getting it ready to sell at the moment.
But there was a lot of crap that had built up, which I’m sure isn’t great for the paint.
Do you have a touchless car wash nearby?
You can sometimes also find do it yourself car washes that you basically waterblast it with soapy water.
I never wash cars so maybe you should listen to someone else.
Yeah good point, I hadn’t thought about DIY car washes…
Giving confident opinions on topics we know nothing about is what the internet was invented for!
If you’re using a DIY car wash - use the water blaster/rinse feature to blast any grime or grit out of the brush before you use it.
