As far as my knowledge reaches in Espoo the following is true...

You can wash your car on your own property only,.. and only if no solvents (soap) are used (to remove things that are an environmental hazard like oil / grease) or similar hazardous additives like wax.
And then only if the water used, will drain only into the ground of your own property, if it runs to the neighbor or for example the street sewer, you can get fined (= not permitted).
If your own property has a waste water collection and filter before it drains to the sewer, that meets certain required standards like a car wash company has, you can use solvents like soap...

These tough rules make it impossible for someone offering it to you for free, the filter system is expensive... most housing companies forbid washing of cars on their premises / property for the same reason. Also for the same reason washing your car in front of your house on the side of the street is forbidden (the water will drain directly to the street sewer or city property ground.

I am not sure about the use of pine soap (mäntysaipua?) being permitted when washing on your own property without filtration system.....but assume it is a NO too.

apparently I short-listed few places and prices are not much difference between hand washing service and self wash. 9 euros for 20 mins self wash or 15 euros for the guy to wash your car. Thanks for the help guys and girls.
