SE and East Anglia to get hose pipe ban

Just heard on the radio that due to 2 abnormally dry winters the SE and East Anglia will have a hose pipe ban from 5th April 2012...................
Does anyone know of any waterless washing systems for those who cannot use a hose to wash their car or any systems for minimising water use during car washing?
Next time I come south I'll have to hitch up my trailer and bring some of the surplus water we have up here!
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Use a two-bucket system with grit guards, at least it'll keep what water you've got cleaner.
