Is there something that can help water from to running down to your neighbors driveway when wash cars outside?

I think I have seen some long.... tube ish looking thing that traps water

but cant seem to find one

any suggestion?
 
I know Chemical Guy's sells a water reclamation mat for $600~700, but I would like to ask: why not just do waterless and rinseless washes if you don't want runoff?
 
I've seen folks wash their vehicles on
their front lawn to avoid an effluent
run-off problem such as you've described.

Vacuberm + wet vac for reclamation or use hose shaped sandbags to divert
 

haha I am asking for this for my new place :p
townhouse sucks, but I am young, and I need somewhere urbanized area, where there are groceries, gym, restaurants in walking distance lol

Moving from single to townhome, no more lawn for me

kinda glad I dont have to waste any more time taking care of that stupid greens.

I think thats what it was, hose shaped sandbag!!!
What I saw was long black tube, I mean its not going to competently block it but it will help.

Thank you all
 
Hope you don't mind me being a smart.......

I thought it was a funny comment.
 
Found it!

Snake sandbags 5' fot $22

Have a contractor cut a section out of the driveway the full length and install a grated drain a 5in wide should do it. It will then run down towards the street.
 
haha Rinseless is good option, but I really like to do pre-wash almost every details,
especially for really dirty cars, I wouldn't do rinseless or waterless without pre-wash.
