Best way to pre-wash and wash car without access to hosepipe or jet wash?

As the question suggests, I've got no areas close enough to my house to reach a hosepipe or a jet wash out to the car. What's the best way to tackle this to ensure that I can keep the car wet and rinsed?

I'm in the same situation and just use a couple of pressure bottle sprayers, the type you spray weeds with..If my car is really dirty I drive to the garage and pressure wash it off 1st

Would a water butt out the front of the house be of any use?

I've no outside tap, terraced house, but do have a driveway at least... water butt solved my problem.
I've not got a driveway unfortunately.. also in a terraced house with a car port area. Looking around online I think I'm going to get a pump sprayer as suggested above. At least with that I could fill it with shampoo etc and get an even spread.

Just need to find a decent one, lots on amazon have awful reviews!

Appreciate I'm a bit late to the party here, but have you seen these? I live in a flat with residential parking so no outside tap and no way of using a water butt unfortunately. FastCar recently reviewed and said it's amazing for what it is and it's reasonably priced too! Around £120 on Amazon. They say the only thing you'll really need is a slightly bigger battery for prolonged use.

Might be worth looking into? I'm going to get one to try it when I start a new job with more money in the next 4 weeks :spotman:

Looks good that. I'm a cheapo though so I've decided on a long hosepipe with a gun attachment at the end. At least with that I won't be spewing water constantly when I don't need it and having to run in and out to turn the tap on and off.
