With a hosepipe ban in my area (which I suspect will last the summer at least), how do I wash my car? I've never liked carwashes as I like to take my time and be careful I don't damage the car.

Use the old 2 bucket method
Hadn't actually appreciated that we are also in the high risk area
Report on BBC website states that any washing of cars - any non essential use of water, might possibly be banned, so even 2 buckets might get you a fine.
Well.... Then officially I shall be washing using the "waterless" spray.

Phone a decent valeter as they should be exempt.
Or move house. It only affects the South and East. In fact I could sell you some water if you like......?
your more than welcome to come and use my water (for a small fee!).............just need to drive 200+ miles north

Take a nice drive up either the M1 or M6 towards Scotland. We have buckets of the stuff to give away. Hear they are thinking of running pipe along side the new High Speed Rail Link (yawn yawn) to export water from Scotland to the partched south!
So by 2080(?) you should have Scottish water running through your pipes
We have loads up here...I'm currently adopting the five bucket method
Wonder how it will affect all these handcar wash places that are springing up?
Or are they exempt ?
