Water containment crack down

My county gov't told me that I can use a rinseless wash product and ne in compliance EVEN if I first pressure wash the dirt off with just water. Their concern is the chemicals reaching the water system not regular water.



So, my thought is to pressure wash off extreme dirt with water THEN use rinseless wash product -> no need for water reclamation.

I suggest you get their statement in writing and carry it with you.
 
As the summer months approach us here in California, with temps reaching triple digits, the water on the ground dries as fast as on the cars. It's not hard to pinpoint, but this is just another way to stick it to the small buisness owner trying to make a honest living, plain and simple.



Even those who do this "text book" will somehow, someway get the short end of the stick. That's the country we live, and I would change it for a second...... Long live G. Bush!
 
Once the water is collected with the Vacu***, what do you do with it? Do you have to take it somewhere that has an oil/water separator? Are you charged money to dump it wherever you take it?

Do your detailing prices reflect some kind of environmental fee like tire stores charge?
 
I currently collect mine in a few five gallon jerry cans and dispose of the 7-12 gallons at the end of the day. I have a client with an Oil/Water Separator. Set up, operation and tear down have added about 10 minutes to a wash- about $7.50 in labor charges in my book. Make up for it how you will, my clients understand the importance of WR.
