You are right, so much precious water is wasted on a car wash. We aren't allowed to wash our cars form the hose, ONLY at a car wash using recycled water. How do I wash our car: when it rains (not very often here), I leave the car outside and wipe it off. No water wastage, no unnecessary suds. Hi Ryan,

What if we could conserve hundreds of gallons of water in one week. Go to a local car wash that uses recycled water or use an eco-friendly waterless car wash. It takes only 15 minutes, is effective and uses no wate i agree with walking versus driving. It also has health benefits, think of it as your extra exercise. I have another tip:
