So the SAWS website says we are only allowed to wash cars once a week, on Sat or Sun at home. However, if it rains all weekend (like this weekend), are we still not allowed to wash on Monday? Does anyone know anything about this? Figured it would be easier to ask here than calling SAWS while I'm at work lol.

At a car wash you can but not at your home, only Saturday and Sunday.

That's what I figured I hate using the car washes as I don't feel they clean very well, and sometimes leave scratches. Maybe I'll look into water less car wash supplies.

I don't understand why we can water grass with a hose any day of the week but not wash a car.

That's probably because you wash cars on top of concrete where water runs off and becomes wasted, whereas watering grass allows for the water to seep back into the earth.

I took a rocket science class once, so I think I have a good grasp of this concept.

Look into buying some optimum no rinse. All you need is a bucket of water with it.

Thanks for the info. I am asking because I was going to BubbleBath, but I have found a bunch of horizontal scratches on one side of my car. They of course deny it and have no sense of customer service. Thanks again everyone!
