Ok its actually been raining all night, plus it rained several times throughout the week yet we still have a hose pipe ban.

So the question is how do I do the pre-soap rinse off so as not to scratch the body work by putting the sponge directly to the dirt?

Take the rose off by the way :D

I find it easier than getting the hose all out then packing it all away. You will need a large watering can though and possibly need to refil it.
 
Oh year forgot to mention that I live in a flat with no external water source :D (I usually wash the car at the future-inlaws. Plus I dont have a watering can :p
 
Bucket and sponge. If you're really in the mood, you can use another bucket for rinsing the sponge.

It works well, but I find myself cleaning the car at least twice to get it properly clean. We have hard water and I have a black car though :(
 
This has to be the stupidest question i've seen asked, use a bloody bucket or a watering can mate it ain't rocket science.
 
I use a hose anyway :p
I Washed the car at night when every one was in bed :D

How does England manage to get a drought anyway? :confused:

Not enough rain over the winter/spring apparently. And the rain we did have is 'the wrong type of rain' apparently :/

This country is a joke sometimes. Anything slightly out of the ordinary and it all goes to **** :rolleyes:

By selling our utilities to foreign companies who don't give a stuff about supply just profit. Even drought Britian rains lots, it's just we are rubbish that collecting it in our ancient systems.

theres no problem collecting it, it's transporting the stuff we have problems with.
we lose millions of gallons of water from our essentially victorian water system.

:(
 
surely the leaked water goes back into the water table thou? ;)

do what I do, go down the jetwash

eventually, but then it needs to be collected, filtered, purified etc all over again....only to have the majority of it lost AGAIN through the same decrepit system.

Dirt stays on the surface of the sponge, so it leaves swirl marks when u wash the car because the dirt as scratching.

With a wash mit the dirt goes into it deaper and doesn hand around the surface so it cant scratch the car :)

Wash mit>sponge
