Water Used during diy car wash
Okay, so I was thinking tonight about how much water it would take to wash our lovely Tundras.. I know that I am getting addicted more than ever, so washing it once a week doesn't bother me at all. However I am lucky to do that, usually twice a month at best. My mother-in-law (yeah, gotta love em) won't even let me wash the truck at her place, because I will use too much water.. haha, she said that I was parts of the truck that no one even sees.. I was washing out the engine bay at that time she saw me washing. The only reason that I was my truck at her place, is that I didn't a hose, or a faucet on the outside of my apartment that worked.. Well now I do, finally. She would complain about the water that I used saying that I wasted so much water on my truck, so she told my wife not to let me wash it over there anymore.. My wife even gave her 20$, which is about 1500 gallons of water, and sewer. As you can tell, I am still a little pissed she won't let me use the hose over there, after we were more than generous with her.... back to my main point of the post...
How much water do you think we use to wash our trucks.. Starting with a rinse, buckets of water, and the final rinse off, along with all the water we use between. I am thinking between 25-40 gallons.. I try to be stingy, because my bill is getting higher now that I am married. Any thoughts anyone? Brandon, Jumbo? You guys seem to wash a lot of cars, or have a lot of experience, maybe you have thought this out..
Thanks,
Erik
Btw, I used some mothers synwax tonight, dang that stuff is great!
