If you enjoy driving a clean car but can't spare the time to visit the car wash as often as you would like, Mobile Green Wash (MGW) is for you. And if you want a new car for the New Year but can't afford one, then give your old car a facelift the MGW way. With the revolutionary MGW, long queues at the car wash, waiting in discomfort, the risk of car-jacking and accidents by careless car-washers, are all things of the past. MGW's Clean+Green+Mobile services offer customers the flexibility of having the cars washed at wherever they are - at home, the office or golf club - without creating a wet mess and with no sign of the bucket, hose, shampoo and suds. It uses instead professional car-care products with no surface-unfriendly chemicals so your paintwork is safe. Mobile Green Wash, Malaysia's first mobile waterless carwash, started when Nicholas Lee, 29, was a student in Australia, a country which practices water conservation. In a 2008 visit to the United States, Lee was exposed to the concept of conscious car care and he returned home with ideas to develop a car-cleaning method that saves water and protects the environment. "We advocate conscious car care while saving water and caring for the environment," said Lee, an electronics engineer, who spent 12 months researching and testing various products on his family cars before introducing them to MGW. MGW is the sole representative of the US-made products that are modified to suit our tropical climate. The products incorporate intelligent use of wetting agents, lubricants and polymers designed to seal in protection and add shine to a car's surface. The MGW car wash uses 10 pieces of fine quality microfibre cloths on each car in a three-step method - spray-on, wipe-off and buff-up. Using the cloths, the service team scrubs away embedded dirt and wipes surfaces. They never re-use the same cloths before they are thoroughly machine washed.

Everyone loves a clean car, but washing a car is actually dirty business for the environment! Did you know that it's actually greener to take your car to a commercial carwash than to wash it at home? According to International Carwash Association washing your car at home actually wastes 80-140 gallons of water and the toxins from washing your car end up in your storm drain, polluting rivers and streams. Washing your car at a carwash only consumes 45 gallons or less and commercial carwashes are required by law to treat the water so it doesn't pollute the earth. If you do chose to wash your car at home, make sure you find eco-friendly products. You can purchase biodegradable soap at Simple Greenor make your own! Also, try not to use your driveway, but wash your car on your lawn. This way the toxic water can be absorbed and neutralized by the soil. There are even ways to wash your car without using water at all! There are some carwashes that use the waterless technique, which includes a solution that is sprayed on the car and then wiped away with a cloth. You can search for a waterless carwash in your area; just make sure they use eco-friendly products. You can even buy your own waterless car wash products on the Freedom Waterless Carwash website. Let's have a sparkling clean car and a sparkling clean planet! Think Green When Washing Your Car If you must wash your car at home, choose a biodegradable soap specifically formulated for automotive parts, such as Simple Green's Car Wash or Gliptone's Wash 'n Glow. Or you can make your own biodegradable car wash by mixing one cup of liquid dishwashing detergent and 3/4 cup of powdered laundry detergent (each should be chlorine- and phosphate-free and non-petroleum-based) with three gallons of water. This concentrate can then be used sparingly with water over exterior car surfaces. Check out the About.com website for more info! Waterless Car Wash Products are Good for Small Jobs One way to avo
