What's the best way to get rid of this then? Surely it's going to be fairly abrasive and I'm currently banned from using a hosepipe, so a bucket and sponge might sod it up.
I might drive to Sainsbury's with a bucket of warm water and shampoo, another rinsing bucket of water, use the jet wash once, wash the car, then jet wash it again properly?

Step one has to be a jetwash. Just get the cheapest £1.49 jetwash at the petrol station then go home and give it the bucket(s) and sponge treatment. Whatever anyone does don't just try and wash it off with a sponge. You might as well use a Brillo pad.

AndyBrew said: Washed mine last night, it was bloody spotless! Me too. I cleaned mine with a waterless wash yesterday and saw the water on the car this morning and it wasn't beading very well, thought the waterless cleaner had f  ked up the surface, when I got outside I realised why it wasn't beading, covered in s te! Worcestershire BTW.

I'm driving to Manchester from Sussex tomorrow and back again. Prolly wait until that's done before waving the jet wash about. Good thinking Justin old fruity.

I just snow foamed mine and let it dwell then hosed it off.
Seemed to do the trick.

There's a great thread which periodically gets linked to in which some Nobel laureate wrecks his Lambo by attempting the worst ever home valet job.

My car's too mucky to notice. The rain storm we've just had should have cleaned it off anyways.
