Few people realize that washing a car in your driveway is one of the most environmentally unfriendly things you can do around the house. Unlike household waste water that enters sewers or septic systems and undergoes treatment before it is discharged into the environment, what runs off from your car goes right into storm drains -- and eventually into rivers, streams, creeks and wetlands where it poisons aquatic life and wreaks other ecosystem havoc.

At Super Speed Wash, the water used in our wash process goes two places:

1)      It drains directly into the sewer system, so it gets treated before being discharged back into the great outdoors; or

2)      It's recycled. Unlike many car washes that feature spot-free or reverse osmosis systems, Super Speed Wash uses the water that is a byproduct of this process. This water (approximately 1,500 gallons a day) is collected for use in our washes.

“The International Carwash Association, an industry group representing commercial car wash companies, reports that car washes use less than half the water of even the most careful home car washer. According to one report, washing a car at home typically uses between 80 and 140 gallons of water, while a commercial car wash averages less than 45 gallons per car.”
