Please, if at all possible don't do this in your driveway.  Go to a
self-serve carwash.  In most areas they're required to have oil traps
that will catch the crud you wash off.  If you do it in your driveway,
it's going to go down the nearest storm drain, which in most places
leads straight to a lake or river.
