Ride The Wave

Every time you choose The Wave Car Wash, you’re doing more than cleaning your car. You’re helping protect the environment. Clean water is a vital resource, and professional car washing plays an important role in keeping pollution out of our local waterways and the Puget Sound.

Why It Matters

Washing your car doesn’t just remove dirt. It also washes away harmful contaminants like road grime, oil, heavy metals, and fuel residue. When washed at home, these pollutants can flow directly into storm drains and into nearby streams, rivers, and the Puget Sound…untreated.
