Too many other things to do and it will just get dirty again. We live on a farm on a dirt road so it isn&#39;t something that is at the forefront of my worries. I do hope she&#39;s doing that in the morning or evening to avoid too much sun exposure...Walter Jeffrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12720110642967540506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-36108420577292611082009-08-05T10:25:38.520-07:002009-08-05T10:25:38.520-07:00I like it because it gives me the freedom to <a href="http://rejuvenateauto.com/car-wash-waterless.php" rel="nofollow"> wash my car</a> sans waterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-37412440468888227632009-07-02T13:08:34.606-07:002009-07-02T13:08:34.606-07:00that&#39;s totally how i dress to wash the car, what&#39;s the problem? :)<br /><br />i almost never wash my car. maybe once during the winter, when there hasn&#39;t been any rain or snow to take care of it for me and it&#39;s getting to the point where you have to be careful not to let any piece of your clothing brush against the car and the windshield is only see-through where the wipers clear it -- then i go through a car wash.<br /><br />it pays sometimes to be bone lazy.Diannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08668609741520732004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-34724850121350217552009-07-01T20:04:58.433-07:002009-07-01T20:04:58.433-07:00My car gets washed when it rains or when I get my oil changed (the nice people at Honda like me to have a cleaner car than I&#39;ll ever care about).

I&#39;d been complaining that every time we grocery-shopped of late my pants got filthy getting the groceries into the trunk. First time I&#39;d ever seen him wash the car at home; he&#39;d always used a car wash previously.<br /><br />He asked me for a bucket &amp; liquid dish soap (Palmolive), so I assume that&#39;s what he used, and he did it in the driveway.<br /><br />I worried more about the water he used than bad stuff getting into the storm drains. He&#39;s pretty stingy with water, though, so I&#39;m sure he thought of that, as well.<br /><br />Neighbor across the street has three cars and washes them in his driveway every week.Oldnovicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17714134603537886606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-949232342250063802009-06-30T11:27:44.158-07:002009-06-30T11:27:44.158-07:00I let the rain wash my car. Now the dog&#39;s a different story. He was beaten when groomed in his preus life. His behaviorist (yes, my dog had issues so severe we called a pro for help) suggested that we bath him outside on a leash that way when he needs a break, he can move away from the water on his own unlike being &quot;trapped&quot; in a bath tub and freaking out. He tolerates bath time and earns treats for good behavior. Since I have to bath him in the driveway I use an environmentally friendly dog shampoo and as little water as we can to get the job done.Condo Blueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13731962631056727458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-13645087802877487052009-06-30T10:23:32.700-07:002009-06-30T10:23:32.700-07:00Dude, did you say cleavage grease?

Also Get a &quot;California Duster&quot; an amazing little item that takes the dust off your Merc.And if you need to wash your car, do it on the lawn. That way water is not sent down the storm drain, and you water the yard at the same tine, Another hint: Mr Clean Car Wash system- actually allows you to wash the car without so much waste!Robj98168http://www.blogger.com/profile/12449968557883132353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-23567625491062135142009-06-30T08:46:48.757-07:002009-06-30T08:46:48.757-07:00I take my car to the car wash every few months, and I try to go to places that recycle their water...my Mom refuses to go to a car wash because she finds it too expensive, I&#39;ve been trying for awhile now to get her to wash her car on our lawn instead of in the driveway, no luck yet, but I&#39;m still workin on it!LynnieBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17222942955222949903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-23578766070463920062009-06-30T07:26:25.599-07:002009-06-30T07:26:25.599-07:00I don&#39;t wash my car that much, but I do watch it.

I love it and if I dry the car off with a towel, it does not have any spots. I just hang the towel to dry for next time. And the kids love that we wash the car on the lawn.

Car washing is a minimal thing now. The car gets washed in an approved car wash when it needs it or if we are desperate a quick splash on the lawn. Bucket washing a car means you use vary little chemical as there is not a lot of water to rinse the car off.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-1315815031778068002009-06-30T05:18:11.017-07:002009-06-30T05:18:11.017-07:00It rains here.

They&#39;re designed to treat sewage, not all the other chemicals found in wastewater. Not to mention that they need to be separate from storm water or the flow would be so great that they have to bypass in storms, releasing untreated sewage. <br /><br />Interestingly, I&#39;m taking a class right now and we&#39;re going to be testing sediment samples from our harbor for heavy metal contamination. I&#39;ve heard that some samples are so contaminated that they&#39;re considered hazardous waste.
