The waterless car wash

It's chemistry for washing your car.

Lucky Earth Products has come up with a liquid, called Green Earth Waterless Car Wash, that lets you wash your car without buckets, hoses, brushes, or gallons of water. The compound--made out of water, coconut extracts, silicone, and a bit of salt--gets misted onto your car. Once there, it attracts dirt via electrostatic principles and encapsulates it. The owner then wipes their car with a soft cloth.

A $20 jug containing 32 ounces of the liquid is good for about 10 car washes. Additionally, the company has liquids for cleaning tires (Tire Shine) and stains (Oopsie Baby).

The race car circuit uses a similar method for washing their cars, explained Tamara Garcia, a Lucky Earth representative. The company basically took the idea but came up with a cleaning formula that is made from more environmentally friendly substances.

The idea behind the company is both to conserve water and reduce caustic chemical consumption. Water shortages are moving into the crisis mode in places like Australia and Georgia: eliminating car washes won't reverse the problem, but it's a step toward conservation. A typical car wash uses 20 to 45 gallons at a professional car wash, according to the company. At home, you can use up to 140 gallons. Thus, a single 32-ounce bottle can save 200 to 1,400 gallons of water.

The chemicals used in Green Earth are also environmentally friendly. The company founder got the inspiration for starting the company from his daughter, who would get sick after going to the car wash.

The company currently sells its products in Whole Foods in the Los Angeles area but will move into the Georgia market next month.

If you read the article, you'll see that the author is not claiming that Lucky Earth Products invented the waterless car wash, the author claims they came up with a product they're marketing. The article mentions other similar products. You should read for comprehension before you react.

Sorry, I didn't know I said something abount inventing. Oh, I didn't thats right! Lets take a part of the article above and examine it. The article says, "The company basically took the idea but came up with a cleaning formula that is made from more environmentally friendly substances." So this looks like they took a product and changed it to make it better. They didn't say they found a product and started marketing it. Kinda sounds like inventing, maybe you might be on to something here. You should look into it. We'll did Lucky Earth do this or did someone else. I'd bet a lot of money they didn't. Also, I see other products mentioned in the article like you said, but not any other similar waterless car wash products like you mentioned. Maybe you could finish the article for them and ad those you talk about. They do mention tire and stain stuff though. So I guess I do comprehend and you can read between the lines knowing what it should really say. Wow, I'm not sure how to react. Maybe you can help me with that. I'm not bashing so take it easy. The product is a great product and anything to conserve or protect the enviroment has to be commended. Just give credit where credit is due. I do!
