If you use one that is just a drive in use it yourself stall then you can still control what chemicals are used to wash it. I'm to lazy to wax but that's a great idea.

I have enough left over for at least 3 more waxes. However, I didn't think to make my own... I waxed my car last fall, and it lasted all through the winter.

Washing your car in your driveway will mean oil, exhaust residue, gasoline, and other grime entering the water. In my city, those holding fundraising car washes can borrow a storm drain protection kit. If you are washing your car at home, you're encouraged to wash it on the grass or on gravel, away from storm drains. You can also go to a professional car wash that has a system for draining their water and keeping it away from the bay. I believe they are required to do this, but it's probably best to ask.
