Wash and Learn

Green Earth Waterless Car Wash

It wasn’t too long ago that the idea of a cordless phone was as unimaginable as a sugar-free candy bar.

So no scoffing at the waterless car wash. Inspired by the spot polish potion used by race car pit crews, Green Earth can be used to clean your entire vehicle — windows, tires, interior, and exterior.

Spray the organic coconut and water-based solution onto a microfiber towel, use it to wipe the surface areas of your ride, then go over the whole thing with a second clean towel to remove residue and make the paint job shine.

One bottle of the nontoxic, biodegradable, fragrance-, phosphate-, dye-, and paraben-free spritz is good for seven to ten washes, which saves at least 140 gallons of water (the average car wash uses 20 to 45 gallons).

Now a self-cleaning car?

Some things will just have to wait until pigs fly.
