But a car wash uses water and a nail salon hires workers. Shouldn't take long to check that those numbers don't add up with what was sold at the end of a month.

Maybe. If you calim to wash a million cars but only wash a thousand that will be obvious, but 10 washes different is lost in the noise. Nail salons are easier because you can have the expensive personalized service that no real person buys but if someone investigates you will give it to them.
More likly the above are selling something illegal though. Pay for the expensive hand car wash but get drugs instead with a cheap automatic wash - nobody will know the difference.
For higher valued goods they use horses. A saddle can go for $30,000, so you buy some $1000 saddles and sell them for $30,000 and $29,000 worth of something else.
They will gladly send water down the drain if it threatens their enterprise. Besides, you have to be on the burner for huge crimes if law enforcement is going to care enough to audit water usage. Again, minor piece of circumstantial evidence in any case.
The gentleman who owns the nail salon in my Midwest suburbia strip mall drives a Lamborghini. One wonders about the immigration status and compensation structure of the nail techs.
Same here. Our nail salon often has a McLaren parked in front.
