So what do you guys who have been under such restrictions recommend? As I understand it, the mandatory restrictions are soon to follow.

The dealer suggested I go to one of those places where you rent a high-power water hose that charges by the 3 minute segment, but be careful to stay far away as you use it. That still seems risky. What should I do?

I'm listening.

Get a light duty electric power washer. They use very little water to wash your car. It is amazing how little, in fact. I am talking about the ones that could only hurt your car if you put the an inch away with the wrong nozzle.

Again...the moderate power 1500-1800psi models are perfect for washing a car unless you are a complete buffoon. Test it by blasting your bare foot to gauge how close you can get to your car with the nozzle tip.


Now the folks who folks who use shrew-skin chamois' exclusively and would never consider anything but their own saliva as a cleaning agent can howl about pressure washers. LOL.
