"Unlike household waste water that enters sewers or septic systems and undergoes treatment before it is discharged into the environment, what runs off your car goes right into storm drains -- ...and eventually into rivers, streams, creeks and wetlands where it poisons aquatic life and wreaks other ecosystem havoc."

  •  "Few people realize that washing our cars in our driveways is one of the most environmentally un-friendly chores we can do around the house." Earth Talk, MARC (Mid-America Regional Counsel)
  • Chemicals used by AutoGreenWash TM do NOT spill into storm drains.

      • AutoGreenWash TM can eliminate over 1,000 vehicle miles per year, in addition to the gas wasted waiting in line, If a commercial car wash is located five miles from a user's home, and two cars are washed once a week
