To All,

Not trying to sound too much like a tree hugger here, but depending on where you live, caution is in order.

Some municipalities forbid using the self-serve car washes for cleaning engines. They often recycle the water and the extra crud that comes off the engines doubtless causes problems--

And though Simple Green works great, the oil and grime it removes just doesn't go away. Some counties, such as the one I live in, are set up so storm drains go the ocean, and it is considered an equivalent to dumping oil if you are caught washing pollutants into the gutter.

I like a clean engine just as much as you do, but I don't want anyone to get into trouble!

Regards,
