Many corrosive and toxic substances get deposited on streets and highways and end up on cars. When vehicles are washed in a driveway, alley, or parking lot, those contaminants are often swept straight into storm drains. Unfortunately, storm drains are not part of the wastewater system, and whatever enters them from city streets empties directly into the nearest body of water.
Jet Pro Auto Wash protects the environment by capturing heavy metals, petroleum products and soap washed off cars before discharging the wastewater into the sewer system for more treatment. This year, we will pay to safely dispose of more than 500 tons of toxic "sludge"—almost 5 ounces for every car washed. Going even further, we only use non-caustic, non-acidic, non-corrosive and phosphate-free washing solutions.
