Save the environment with green washing your car

[root]

We hear a lot about saving energy, water and reducing emissions these days. Seems like more and more are realizing how much water is wasted daily on car washes in the UAE.

Now, even better that its 'natural' and 'biodegradable'...but what is it? This is like those TV infommercials that works like magic and does not harm anything, and if you order right now, we'll give you this and that, and even that too.....

Here's the article from GN:

'Green' spray washes cars in UAE without using water


Dubai: Drinking water should not be used for cleaning vehicles - so a new spray-on, waterless cleaner has been launched.

The biodegradable cleaner, Bio Wash Waterless Car Care, claims to wash cars without water, even vehicles caked with mud.

The French products were unveiled yesterday by the Al Barg Company. Current car wash facilities in the UAE are wasting potable, desalinated water said company president Abdullah Saleh Al Sayed.

At a time when water is scarce in the Middle East it should not be wasted on car washing, he said.

Natural formula

Dubai has more than 850,000 registered vehicles on its roads and overall in the GCC there are 7.85 million cars, washing them all once requires 255 million gallons of water he said.

He added that one in six people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water while gallons are being wasted on washing cars. One bottle of Bio Wash Waterless Car Care can wash up to four cars.

Bio Wash is environmentally-friendly in that it is made from an all natural formula. The spray will be available in supermarkets shortly and in the meantime some petrol stations around Dubai will offer the option.

how much do you normall pay for washing you car?

i personally dont entertain the parking lot cleaners (15dhs guys in malls and other places). their water buckets are dirty and the cloth they use leaves swirl marks all over the car.
the normal manual wash at the petrol stations cost min of 35-40 for body wash and 50 for full wash including underbody for saloon cars

6 days a week, my watchman does the job and on the 7th day, my car visits the petrol pump car wash.
All I meant to say was that I'll have to drive all the way to Mirdiff or the Gardens and then pay 50 to get a car wash. They need to open up more places.
