If 10,000 LA Biters opt for a waterless car wash just once, we'll save enough water to fill two Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Between 1972 and 1982, the average speed of cars on notoriously congested LA freeways dropped from 60 mph to 17 mph.

Come Clean

The Bite

Do you have a dirty car washing habit? Most car washes use toxic cleaning chems and waste between 20-45 gal per wash. Come clean and save water by opting for Lucky Earth‘s "Waterless" (yes, waterless) CarWash cleaner. This organic, paraben-free, biodegradable potion actually dissolves dirt on all car surfaces without scratching and deposits a UV coating that helps keep paint from fading. After using up our bottle (eight washes), we got lazy and had LE's washing service to do it for us - and a few neighbors. If you've got four or more dirty vehicles lined up, a team of washers will cruise over and scrub them up for ya. Now you (and your car) can come clean.

Wanna Try

Lucky Earth (310-215-3133). Cleaning kit, $40; exterior service, $20/vehicle; exterior and interior, $35/vehicle.
