Car wash etiquette

I use the one on base. Overall, the car washes here are pretty good. I know the one on base doesn't use recycled water because a water main broke and it took out the car wash too.

they use some fresh water also for the pressure I think they shut down here when the water goes off after the hurricanes

Most all the washes around here use recycled water as well.... Even if the filters trapped all the sand, most washes that use recycled water do not put the water through reverse-osmosis to purge dissolved minerals and salts from the water.... That means you'd be giving your car a salt bath....

^ Its true where im at. When you pressure wash your car down here after it dries there is a noticible film that forms, like a haze. pretty much washing your car with dirty water. hand wash/ dry ftw!
