Check Surrey's official water restrictions page for latest details →

Stage 3 restrictions prohibit full exterior vehicle washing at residential properties across Metro Vancouver (except Surrey, Abbotsford, and Fraser Valley).

This includes using a hose or pressure washer connected to your home's water supply.

No. Using a hose or pressure washer connected to municipal water supply is prohibited under Stage 3 restrictions.

While using non-municipal water may technically avoid the water restriction, full exterior vehicle washing at a residential property is still considered restricted under the regulations.

We recommend staying fully compliant by using commercial car washes instead.

Yes. Homeowners can be fined for allowing or requesting prohibited water use on their property.

Fines typically range from $350 – $750, with higher amounts for repeat offences.

Yes. Both the homeowner and service provider can be held responsible for violations.

This is why we strictly adhere to Stage 3 guidelines and recommend compliant alternatives.

Water-efficient commercial car washes are exempt from Stage 3 restrictions and are still allowed to operate.

Pro Tips:

• Choose touchless or high-quality soft-cloth washes
• Look for washes with good reviews to avoid swirls
• Ask if they offer pH-neutral soaps (especially if you have ceramic coating)

We do not offer this service.

While we carry comprehensive ICBC Garage Service Operations coverage, we strongly prefer customers drive their own vehicles.

⚠️ Important: Your personal auto insurance does NOT cover a detailer driving your vehicle on public roads unless they have proper Garage coverage. If something happens, your claim could be denied — even if it wasn't your fault.

We recommend you drive your vehicle to the commercial car wash yourself.

✅ Yes, absolutely!

Once your vehicle has been washed at a commercial car wash, we can come to your home to apply wax, sealant, ceramic coating, or polish.

This is fully compliant with Stage 3 restrictions and gives you professional-grade results.

✅ Yes, absolutely!

Once your vehicle has been properly washed at a water-efficient commercial car wash, we can come to your home to apply wax, sealant, or polish. This does not involve using water for washing at your property, so it is permitted under the current restrictions.

Yes, this is actually a great time!

Since many people are avoiding full exterior washes at home, having a professional-grade ceramic coating done now gives your paint long-term protection.

Just make sure you wash your vehicle at a commercial car wash that uses pH-neutral or coating-safe soaps.

Many commercial car washes use high-pH soaps that can gradually strip or weaken ceramic coatings over time.

To protect your coating:

• Look for washes that offer pH-neutral or ceramic-safe wash options
• Ask them about the specific products they use
• Choose touchless washes when possible

Yes. The same Stage 3 restrictions apply to boats, RVs, motorcycles, and most other vehicles.
