Interesting site signage is one of the best ways of attracting attention to your car wash and enticing potential customers to give it a try. Positive imaging enhances your reputation and re-enforces your environmental standing.
ACWA makes a variety of signage options available to members allowing you to identify your car wash site as an ACWA member.

Water Rating Scheme Signage
WRS signage is only available to accredited WRS members who can guarantee the water efficiency of all car wash elements on their site.
Smart Approved Watermark
Only available to accredited WRS members who can guarantee the water efficiency of all car wash elements on their site.
The Smart Approved Watermark was established by the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) to provide an identifiable label for consumers so that they can make informed choices when choosing products, services and organisations that use water efficiently, reducing per capita water consumption.
Safety Liability Signage – Wording
ACWA provides members with recommended wording for generic legal signage for their car wash sites.
Whilst ACWA gives the best generic advice available to us to assist members but cannot be held responsible in any way for the consequences of following that advice.
Members are responsible for checking whether the advice given is right for them and should obtain their own independent legal advice on the exact wording for their site.
Limited Liability Signage
Wording for signage to advise persons entering the site of the limited liability of the owner or legal tenant of the site for any loss or damage to such persons and/or their property while on the site.

Car Wash Use Terms and Conditions Signage
Members’ car wash sites are private land and the public does not have rights of entry.
ACWA members have reported they have experienced situations where individuals have come to their site to dump contaminants in the wash bays or to wash their cars using their own supplies. In these situations, operators have a right to ask them to leave.
ACWA has worked with our lawyers to provide members with indicative sign warnings. The purpose of these signs is to stop people coming on site and:
- Using a self-serve bay or the general forecourt to wash their vehicles
- Using their own products and cloths
- Dump rubbish of any kind, or
- For any other non-car wash related purpose.
To advise persons entering the site, that they are coming onto private land and must obey the terms and conditions required by the owners or legal tenant of the land.
