i think it all depends on your relationship with your neighbors and the amount of water you use.

Considering the number of dirty cars u see here, driving around in them also should be made illegal like Dubai & Muscat.

To be specific about the law, as lond as you dont great a any over flow or puddles its fine, basically means dont use a hose pipe just use a bucket like they do in the Shopping malls..

Actually, noone can stop you washing your own car in your car parking. If you don't wash your car, who will do it ? Ofcourse you can't drive your car to your bathroom! I have seen some workers cleaning cars in residiential area and office premises. I heard thats illegal too. Whats really legal on this earth?

i think the link is useful,,,,

but i wash my car in front of my home & no one have any objection on it.bcoz of i think Location its not on MAIN ROAD.

It is true that you cannot wash ur car in front OR down to ur building & not sure about the fine, but the main thing is LOCATION as you told in ur question that ur building in front of the MAIN STREET. so its better to not wash your car there. reason is water will be on the road & any local person who dont like this SURE he will call baldiya OR police & you will get fine

my suggetion is wash ur car behind ur building OR the place where the water will drain auto.

i hope u like my answer.

i dont know wether the laws have changed, we being told that washing the car with the hose pipes is illegal and can face fines.

the other things that also illegal is burning the garden rubbish in your own garden also illegal.

that was 7 yrs ago ...

maybe anyone else could clarify?

I think someone posted something about this before, and the consensus was that it is illegal. You might be able to find the thread if you search for it.
