    you can be fined for washing your car at your home. throw some mud on it and give it that rally look :)

    not only fined, but if you're caught, and your neighbors WILL call the cops on you, your water is subject to being shut off.....NOT worth it, take it to the car wash while you still can before they get closed too.

    Use the self spray wash...and the spot free rinse does help

    Yep, Take a bucket/sponge and $4.00 in quarters. Start the wash, fill your bucket, hose down your car, then wash the entire car with your sponge and bucket like you are at home. Then put in another $2.00 and rinse your car and use the spot free rinse. Dry....
    Just like at home, only it costs $4.00

    Maybe if you could spell "allowed" correctly they would let you... I dunno - you should go ask your local English teacher who you should talk to in Gwinnett about it... I think they could probably help you out... Just thinkin out loud...er...aloud...

    Other than that - ya - self spray wash...

    :rofl:knowing you spent time out of your life to make that posts makes me feel just a bit proud of my grammatic mistake. :fawk:

    for everyone who actually contributed to this thread, thanks for your advice. i totally forgot about the self-wash near my house since i've never had to use it.

    my car gets a wash every 3 thousand miles : aka sog free car wash. Dunno how much longer they are going to keep doing that though.

    As long as the windows are clean I don't really care too much. It's not a beautiful car so no need to bother

    never used the quarters-do-it-self car wash before, what is this rinse-free thing I'm hearing about? Is it the last thing you spray on and it will dry itself? I really need a wash.

    Spot-Free rinse is usually offered. It helps the water sheet off your car. You still have to dry it yourself for it not to look like Poo, but it helps keep the waterspots to a minimum.

    Does anyone know if there is DIY car wash anywhere around Georgia Tech? I used to just wash my car whenever I made it home, but do to water restrictions I can't even do that anymore. The only place I've ever gotten my car washed is this little place on Northside Dr. They do a great job, it's just kind of expensive.
