Default Wash Question

Is there a way to wash a car if you have no hose available. If you only have buckets of water. I am not talking about cleaning a 350z, i am talking about a simple hand wash and dry. Is there any way to do this?

If it were me, I'd probably use two buckets...one filled with soapy water, and one with fresh water. Then when I was the car, I'd wash it a section at a time, immediately rinsing each section with the fresh water.

Just my 2 cents...I'm sure there's probably someone else on this forum with a more efficient way.

Its called a car wash

But seriously, I wouldnt know what to do If I didnt have a hose while washing my car. Theres a lot of dust and debris that gets hosed off with that initial spray down that will be stuck on there when you start. I would honestly try to find a good hand wash place, but thats just me. Be careful!

LOL, i know there is always the car wash, but i was just wondering. My friend has 1995 honda civic and he doesent have a hose in his house, all he wants is a fast and simple shine, it doesent even have to last, but he hates car washes.

I have done it many times in my shop in the winter, two 5 gallon buckets of hot water from the house, wash and rinse one panel at a time....

Check out this thread about washing without a hose. The second post details the product very well.
