Here's how it works in my driveway.

I poke three or four small holes into the cap for a 1 liter plastic Pepsi bottle, then immerse the empty bottle into a bucket of soapy water. The cap goes on the bottle, and to dispense the water I simply squeeze the bottle. It is very easy to control where the water goes and a sponge comes in handy for scrubbing what few dirty spots.

One tip, here...the fewer holes you put into the cap, the more accurately you can control the location where the water ends up. For rinsing, I usually use a cap with more holes...

After the car is all washed (only takes about 10 minutes), I fill the bucket with clean water and use the same squirt bottle to dispense the rinse water over the Cobra. Then a chamois is all that it takes to finish off the job.

I've gotten good enough at it that the entire process takes 20 minutes or less. No need for a garden hose or pressure washer.

Simple. Fast. No need for massive cleanup, as it usually takes only 3 or 4 liters of soapy water to wash the car and only a couple to rinse it.

Try it.

Cheers!
