I can understand you wanting to “help” the environment, but sometimes people should use common sense. There is no way in the world that cleaning a car and the water run off from it is going to affect the water shed one little bit. Look up your local water test results and see what the EPA found chemical wise. I guarantee you’re not going to find “break dust” or any other chemical associated with cleaning your car. If you're truly worried about the water run off I might suggest you get one of those big black water catchers I see used on the Detailing World forum. Now I'm not too sure what they do with that water, but I'm sure you could ask.

Well, I am going to have to disagree on that first statement, and agree with the second.
My brother HAS done extensive testing that do show the specific metals in brake pads are being found in streams and other local "clean" water sources due to runoff.
However, some cities have dual systems, and others do not...so it can vary by region.
