Here in Kent we&#8217;ve had a hosepipe ban since last summer (which I was unaware of until recently), so using the hose is tricky. I could have pleaded ignorance, but they sent a letter not long ago.

I&#8217;d also only just had a shower, so my hair was already wet.<\/p>\n<p>Out I went to an already soaking wet car and started cleaning it. Sure enough, the rain washed the soap off nicely, albeit making me rather wet in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Today I went out to check the results and it was pretty impressive &#8211; no horrible marks to be seen anywhere&#8230; apart from the bits of grass left from me strimming the front lawn \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been using the Flash Car Wash to wash my car for the past year.
