Iranian solution for waterless car washing

Sharif University of Technology researchers have produced an eco-friendly solution that enables anyone to clean an entire car without water.

According to IRNA, Alinaqi Mashayekhi, a Sharif professor, noted that the solution saves time, money and water.

The biodegradable carwash solution does not require rinsing.

Between the gallons of water you use to soap up your sponges and the freshwater flowing unrestricted from your garden hose, cleaning your car can take between 80 and 140 gallons for every wash.

And that water picks up a nasty load of everything that had been stuck to your car—gasoline, oil, heavy metal particles, tar, and particulate matter from exhaust fumes—and sends it down your driveway directly to the nearest lake or river, totally untreated, as many storm drains don’t lead to a sewage treatment plant.

But giving up washing in the driveway does not mean you’ll have to just live with a dirty car. After all, excess dirt can scratch your car’s finish, which can lead to rust problems if you live in a northern city that salts its roads in winter. So here is a simple, green way to wash your car without wasting water.

Waterless and rinse-less washes are fast and easy way to clean a vehicle virtually anywhere, anytime in most weather.

The product is formulated with special lubricants that protect the vehicle surfaces from any abrasion.
