[sambonebs]

All you cleaning obsessed Kent based Clio monkeys! How have you got round the Hosepipe Ban which is currently in place?

I've just ordered a load of stuff from David so it's cleaning time soon! Just need running water!

I do hope its being lifted soon, seeing as we've had over a months worth of rain in the last 48 hours!

I just use a bucket.

Just a bucket of clean water for the inital rinse and the washing off of the shampoo?

Yep, bucket to rinse, then wash, then rinse!

I'm in Berkshire where we also have a hose pipe ban. I use a watering can to rinse off (probably using just as much water as using a hose pipe)

No hose pipe ban here but when I am at shows etc and can only bucket wash there car I use http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=10061.

No need to worry about rinsing shampoo off etc.

We have a hosepipe ban in oxfordshire as well. I use a bucket and a "hosepipe".
So up your :butt: Thames water until you sort out your 1 billion litres a day leakage

Nice! I think I'll stick to the watering can idea for the mo, as I have water available! Plus there's some Chemical Guys Shampoo in the kit I've brought (Which ended up being from Car Wash N Wax instead) so I'll use that up first.

I Use a hose pipe attached to my own private water supply tried using the watering can but am covinced it uses more water
