MY CAR LOOKS CLEAN SO I DON'T NEED TO WASH IT
It just rained so you might think, “oh, my car is clean!” Rain itself isn’t as clean as you’d think. For this reason, most car washes use treated water that won’t leave spots like rain will. Run your finger along your vehicle, does it come up clean? If not, it’s time for a wash!

AUTOMATIC CAR WASHES WASTE WATER
Your car collects pollutants which you use chemicals to wash away during a home wash.That water is generally not recycled and will wash directly into a nearby source of water. Most modern automatic car washes employ a system to recycle water for reuse. They reduce the impact on the environment - using less water and putting out less waste.
