Car Wash Allow??

[trdjce10]

Is washing your car at home allow in Calgary??

[sleeper]

Only if the soap U use is safe to the enviroment. and it must say so on the bottle

[Ferio_vti]

Nope, Its illegal.
Biodegradable soap or not, its illegal either way. But everyone does it. Like most bylaws, you can usually get away with it unless a neighbor or someone feels they have to complain to the City.

i wash my car 3 times a week in the summer...in my driveway....cop lives accross the street.....i havnt been locked up yet

[xkon]

if they approach you, duno soap on their lawn and blast them with water

[hockeybronx]

I thought it was okay but I guess it's not.

I know towards the end of summer they will ban it when the city is getting low on water.

I wash my car in the garage anyways, it's cooler in there so it's comes out cleaner anyways.

My dad hates it, it makes the floor slippery, it's illegal, but it makes my car look !

Canadian Tire sells many illegal products; soap, tinted liscense plate covers etc.

I hate winter so much, there's nothing better than waking up at 8:00am on a warm summer day in shorts and a t-shirt, and spending the day on your car:

Fill it up with gas, clean the inside, wash the oustide, give it a nice wax job, take a shower and get ready for a nice night of cruisin...

Dude, I was totally there just now, thanks for making me miss it even more with your damn description!

Don't think it's allowed. My neighbour washed his car with soap couple summers ago and someone call the police on him after that no more soap.

[dj_rice]

He got off lucky...

My dads friend got a ticket for 300 bucks or more for washing it with soap...


If its illegal to wash it with soap..how come those Car Wash places or the pop a loonie ones dont get in shit for using soap?

I'd say either because they have a liscence for it, or they use special soap, or they have special draining systems that either clean the water or lead to different piping.

Maybe it's a big underground system, and only the cops don't know what goes on in those places called "Car Washes"

hahah yeah straight up..I'm guessing its all in the drainage system...but meh...if u have a high enough fence and ur neighbors cant see that ur using soap..then YOU CAN DO IT!!

You almost have the right idea

because they reuse the water, and they have to filter the water before it goes into the sewage system

10th and 10th will not allow you to do that. They have signs too and the attendants walk around constantly. If I come at odd hours to wash mine and ASK them they let me, but I discovered a new way of washing perfectly w/out touching the car at all: (may take a buck or so more, but worth it)

Washing:
1)HI PRESSURE RINSE whole car getting any major mud or dirt off.
2) LOW PRESSURE PRE SOAK because the soap sticks and grabs the dirt whereas Hi pressure soap just slides off and leaves a film. Do the whole car, concentrating on rocker panels and bumpers.
3)HI PRESSURE RINSE, then WAX or SPOT FREE (if you don't dry your car)
4) Power rinse Chamois (both sides)

Drying:
1) California Water Blade from top to bottom
2) REAL Chamois to get the details

VOILA, instant BLING!!

Happy washing!
