In a sense, I really just meant portable and pressurized water without a power-source. Think empty parking with no outlet (except underground) Using something that is pressurized by hand does not seem like a feasible/easy wash and dry to me...now if there' something that is relatively cheap, easy and compact that would do a better job |

I do use a pressure washer myself as it does have it's uses but I personally find it useful for prewashes and unable to beat a hand wash done correctly. Please do not allow my opinion to deter you from using your own chosen wash technique. Thanks |

Your best bet from what you describe and I've been there and done this is buying optimum no rinse (or if you like the look of/review of another no rinse product).
Get one of those hand pressurised pump sprayers for detailing or gardening. Pre soak the car using it with optimum no rinse. Also with you is a bucket full of water and optimum no rinse and a Microfibre wash mitt. Using your mit make single passes (don't rub over same area again and again) I'm the direction of back to front or front to the back of the car. Work from top to bottom. Have a different mit or sponge to use just for the wheels, using the last of the mix in your bucket. If your car is more heavily soiled something like a portable washer as discussed might be nice to have. Or just pay a local outfit or detailer you trust for a basic maintenance wash every few weeks? |

Fortunately, it's white and looks pretty clean even just after a quick rinse with a pressure washer... |

How lond do you have with the coin operated systems? We have them in the Uk but not as much an institution as with other countries judging by videos i've seen of the types of good setups.
Suppose you need a quick effective safe technique. |
