Smile Where to wash car in Los Angeles?

I was wondering since my parents told me i cant wash my car on the driveway in public anymore because of the fine of harming the enviornment... so i was wondering to all the LA people out there, where do you wash your car??
Please input

When I had wheels on my car, in Hollywood I usually go here. It's on Melrose close to Fairfax. 100% hand wash, no machine and no track. They wash it under a tent. Mon & Tues it's $11 for wash and tire dressing.

I've actually run into people I know there (aka car enthusiasts).

Now that I don't have rims, I go to Glendale where it's on a track. Tues & Wed is $10 wash and wax. Buy 10 and get one for free. Everyday is "speed wash" - $6 for exterior wash only, no interior cleaning. Very quick.

it's only for some communities where it is stated that it is illegal to wash your car on your driveway for water conservation/environment purposes. there are designated places you can wash your car, most of the time.

lexus of glendale washes my car every week for free .

Hmm, I'm glad I wash my own car still. I will not have swirls in my paint after I detail it every time by having dealerships/others wash it

The day water is banned, is the day I open my gallon of Optimum No Rinse wash

I could do that, but i dont feel like seeing my car turning into one big swirl.

OP- I just wash my car at home. Never had anyone complain to me yet.

Some communities have laws for watering plants during evenings and on certain days, but I do not think it will come down to something like washing cars.
