Water facts

[Kessler757]

Needing a source for self service car washing compared to washing your car at home.

Does anyone know where you can find information on how much water a person saves at a self service car wash compared to washing a car at home?

Also how much time is saved when you wash your car at a car wash compared to doing it at home?

Thanks

Try the Western car washh association or the International car wash association websites. WCA used to have a great poster that showed the average water use of all different types of washes.

The Episode of Modern Marvels:Car Wash had many great comparisons
