It’s not allowed in the courtyard, it’s forbidden at the edge of the city, there’s also a fine at the reservoir ... And where can you wash the car yourself? Let's look at all the options.
Driving a dirty car is not only non-compliance with the law requiring clean cars on city roads, but in general, it’s an unpleasant thing, and indecent. After all, what about the owner of such a machine? Only that he must be fully consistent with his iron horse. And with the onset of the off-season and the winter period in the metropolis, the simplest question of where to wash the car completely turns into a global problem.
And that's not all. Along with this, there are other questions on the topic of the day. Firstly, a car wash flies a pretty penny. Secondly, the quality of the work done often depends not only on the degree of professionalism of the institution’s employees, but also on their sobriety.
If in the city in which you live there are offers on specialized car washes where you can wash the car yourself, then you should use them. Agree, this is very convenient: saving financial costs, time (no need to travel outside the city hoping to find a secluded place), and conscience is calm (the environment is not ruined, the rules are not violated).
It is important to know not only where you can wash the car yourself, but also how to do it correctly so that on a dried-out car you do not find the erased spots of varnish and subtle scratches. And this happens because the owner of the vehicle usually uses sponges and rags. It would seem that a soft rag is the best means of laundering a machine "tan." But, saturated with water and dirt, this is sandpaper, and not a delicate rag. By the way, micro-scratches open a direct path to the formation of rust on the car body. It is possible to stop corrosion by polishing. The more microcracks, the more often it is necessary to carry out this procedure.
Hence the conclusion: proper washing of the car - under the soft pressure of water with or without special detergent.
Be careful, the rooms are also quite sensitive to scratches. They must be washed no less carefully.
Places where you can wash the car yourself legally include driving off construction sites or other areas specially designated for this event.
Please note that ownership of the land does not give automatic authority to wash cars there. In all honesty, this not only harms the ecology of the land you own, but it’s not very good from an aesthetic point of view either. You follow the cleanliness and order in the house where you eat and sleep, and here - the yard should be clean.
Dirt is not just natural dust. Technical oils, bitumen and special means for washing them are the main source of soil contamination. Therefore, if the car owner finds a secluded place where no one caught him in a “dirty business”, he causes significant harm to nature, and therefore to future generations. All technical dirt washed off the car, if not in the ground, then with drains into the storm sewers, and together with rain streams into the rivers.
