FML. Looks like I'll be doing the spring/summer detail sooner rather than later.

Could you consider travelling a bit further north where there is no ban atm? I know it's not ideal. Fingers crossed for ya fella.

I guess it is something we should all think about more, this will happen more and more in the future. What about recycling the water after we have used it and then use it in the next bucket/rinse water?

there are all sorts of options that could be looked into, using grey water, using a water butt, ONR etc..  gone are the days when I used to be able to wash my car with two buckets of water... one to wash and one to rinse  :lipsrsealed:
