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?

    Yeah same question. I used to wash cars often but stopped doing it. Perhaps once a year. I do wash off bird poo straightaway as I’ve been told that will eat into your varnish.
