Default Car Washing

I rent from my aunt and uncle while out here for school, and they are "green" people (although they really aren't, they're just pretending). The wont let me wash my car at home. So I visited some DIY washing places but they don't allow you to use a bucket, and I heard they recycle the water (how much gets filtered?). I also can't really control how hard the water is spraying.

What do you guys do? Anything in the northern Phoenix, northern Scottsdale area? Thanks.

Wash your car infront of the house when they are away.

do what I do...go wash your car at one of those places at 2am...

no one's around to care if you use a bucket and handwash. Besides, as hot as it is out here during the day it's hard to not get water spots and to keep the wax from drying to quickly. Not so much of a problem at 2am.

Also, use the "spotless rinse" setting for everything. The water doesn't spray as hard. I learned about that the hard way - I've actually stripped paint off previously owned vehicles with the regular spray.

Take it to Earnhardt's for an oil change and get a complimentary hand job. (hand wash that is)

27th & Deer Valley is where I usually take mine at night to avoid the soap from drying so fast. I use a bucket as well and haven't been bothered by anyone so far.

You can wash your car any time you want at my house. Some priorities take preference over global warming.
