Guide Review - Green Earth Technologies Heavy Duty Hydrophobic Car Wash

Effectiveness:

Overall, G.E.T. Heavy Duty Hydrophobic Car Wash isn't great, but it's not bad. For the average consumer, this product will do exactly what you want it to - it will wash your car. You may have a little trouble removing bugs or long-standing dirt and grime, but G.E.T. car wash will get the job done, and it will do a decent job.

While we recommend this product mostly due to the amazing green factor it contributes to the environment, the wash itself won't be a favorite of some, especially the car-crazed.

For one thing, this product won't suds up as a result of no Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Even though this product works, the lack of suds is a bit unsettling to some, and if suds equals clean in your mind, you might have a hard time getting used to G.E.T. Car Wash. Additionally, the discerning automotive expert will notice that their cars can and will get cleaner with other car care products. That said, G.E.T. Car Wash ranks pretty high when it comes to your green options.

Green Factor:

When it comes down to how eco-friendly this car wash is, the answer is 'quite.' Truth be told, it's unlikely you'll find a car wash any greener than Green Earth Technologies.

Produced entirely in the U.S., G.E.T. Car Wash doesn't pollute waste water, and it contains no hazardous components as defined by OSHA. This car wash is so safe that contact with skin and eyes, or even ingestion will have no adverse effects. Additionally, Green Earth Technologies Car Wash ranks 'Ultimate Biodegradable' according to ASTM standards.

As for the bottle, G-Wash bottles are made from at least 25% post-consumer waste recycled materials with labels printed with water-based inks. Also, the bottle is made from type 3 plastic; a plastic type that is widely recyclable.
