Is Carwashing Environmentally Friendly?
Car Washing and the Environment?
Washing your car in a professional car wash is the best way to protect the environment. We use less water (about 25 gallons) than washing in the driveway. (60 - 120 gallons) Our wash water is treated before it goes into the city sewer system. It then goes to a waste water treatment plant. Washing your car in the driveway causes the water to go into the storm drain. This drain is only meant for rain water. The soapy wash water ends up in our rivers and lakes killing fish and polluting the environment.
At the professional car wash, the dirt that comes off your car ends up as cover at landfills and recycled for use at asphalt plants. ScrubaDub uses detergents that are 100% biodegradable and phosphate free.

How often should I wash my car?
How Often?
We recommend washing your car every other week. Not only does it keep your car looking like new, it make you feel good driving a clean car.

Does my car need the undercarriage washed?
Undercarriage Washing?
Washing the bottom of your car is just as important as the body. Road film, mud and salt all work against your car's muffler, shocks..... Frequent washing keeps rust from getting started.

Do the sealants and waxes in the car wash really work?
To Wax or Not?
We sell only brand name products! (Simonize and Blue Coral) Any of these applied in the wash will protect your cars finish for up to thirty days. All include a two step process. A foamed on wax cleans and penetrates the surface. A sealant is then applied to add shine and protection. For additional protection try one of our three hand waxes and sealants. These products are applied in our detail shop and produce a showroom finish with protection lasting from three months, up to one year.
