Car Wash is prohibitied?? *#%$ home association
#31
Honestly, if you really have to think about this, you need to stop drinking
Just wash it at night, plain and simple. On a Friday night, wake up at around 2am, and start washing. Washing a car is fairly quiet, and you can take your sweet lil time, because even the wifey/SO will be asleep and no one will bother you about being **** and taking soooo long
. By morning, all the water and soap would have evaporated and there will be no trace of any water on the ground. I highly doubt HOA investigates water usage so they will have absolutely no way of knowing. You can polish and seal inside your garage with your door closed and no1 will ever see ANY kind of "washing" going on.
You can thank me lata homboy
, Happy Detailing.

God.. you guys amazing.
Well, I don't have grass. I am living in townhouse.
By the way, HOA fee doesn't cover water neither trash. So water usage is not HOA problem. I am paying for my own water.
Anyway, washing at night sound so fun.
But I will pass it. Thanks the information though.
I have shoot couple email to property manager, she said she will pass my compliant to the board. (However, the most board members are from the builder) I think I will loose this car wash battle.
Where I am living, there are still constructions going on. (Still selling the townhouses)
I will just try to sick with rinseless wash.

In most of the HOAs around here, the answer to "what are they going to do" is: fine you. The three main infractions you can be cited for in my neigborhood are parking your car at the curb in front of your house overnight, weeds in your yard, and leaving your garbage can at the curb for more than 48hrs. (There are others, but hardly enforced.) If you ignore the first fine, you get a second, ignore that one, you get a third. And believe it or not (read your CC&Rs!), if you continue to ignore the fines they can put a lein on your house.
Yes, you heard me right.
There was a story on the news here about an old woman who had some sort of accident and had to stop working. She couldn't afford to pay her HOA dues and became so far behind that the Association actually tried to take her house! I don't know what the final outcome was, but those people will have a special place in hell.
So yeah, read the CC&R document you signed when you moved in (they SHOULD have provided you one).
Good luck...
(BTW, the "rent-a-cop" that patrols our neighborhood for violators does so during the middle of the night...so if I had to wash my car at 2am, I'd be screwed!)

You're lucky that's ALL they did. A lot of HOA's won't even let you wrench on your ride IN YOU'RE OWN FRICKIN GARAGE!

The thing I like about this HOA is people have to keep their property looking good, I've had it up to my neck with living in a neighborhood where I was the only person who kept their yard and house looking good. No one automatically gets fined for anything, you get two warning notices, and even then you can plead your case it seems!
