Winter is here. I think the $6 is not bad a bad idea after driving over salt.

I tried it.  Good for underbody spray to get rid of all the salt.  But like other touchless washes, the body of the car will not be clean if it's too dirty

I've tried it many times, it's good in the winter for the undercarriage stuff.

The question is... do they re-use the water?
I've seen many auto-washes that reuse the water (after filtering it)... which is basically just using salt water.

^ good point. I think most automated car wash places re-use their water.

Environmentally friendly, and following city regulations. Didn't City of Vancouver ban driveway car washing?

I wouldn't go there for anything...I went there with a somewhat dirty car and it left half the car dirty and didn't even touch the mirrors. All they would do is give me a coupon for a free wash which never got used anyways.

Don't think there is a driveway car wash ban. Only during the summer when tighten water restiction in effect.
