Washing car in storage - no easy access to water

[TonyRPH]

My car is currently stored in a garage and has accumulated quite a layer of dust to due some recent woodwork in said garage.

As the car is currently SORN - taking it to a car wash it not an option.

I'm looking for a product that I can use, to 'wash' the car without making a lot of water on the garage floor.

Is such a product available?

I should have known it would be that easy.

I had no idea such a product existed!

Thanks.

Do these waterless cleaners actually do the paintwork any harm though ?

I've been very impressed with the Carpro Ech2o.

There is a method to it... some prefer different cloth faces for the different panels, do the dirty bits last. I use a separate bucket for rinsing the cloths, and a bucket with the product in.

I use it on my car when its dusty, its been fine... no marring that I can see.

Its also great as a quick detailer or clay lube, depending on concentration.

I've used Optimum No Rinse.

Ideal for people without access to copious amounts of water.
What is needed though is access to plenty of microfibres.

It does work. There's plenty of YouTubes about it. If used as per instructions it will not damage paint.

I bought 2 50l water drums. Chuck them in the boot and tada. Obviously not light but not impossible

You can also buy battery powered pressurised washers as used by mountain bikers and off road guys too. £60 or so and all you need is some water from somewhere.
