Hey guys - I've got a question for all of you on washing your cars. I live in a townhouse more or less in DC. It has a shared underground garage, so there's no driveway for me to wash my car. The outdoor spigot would make me cross the hose over sidewalk with tons of foot traffic (tripping liability issue). The street is also pay-to-park, which isn't an issue, but there is rarely parking available.
My question to you all is how do you wash your cars if you are in similar situations? If I just drove a couple blocks away, its nice and quiet with plenty of parking, so finding a place to wash is no issue - just the method. Has anyone used one of those hand-pressurized chemical sprayers (filled with water, obviously) to wash their cars on the street? I'm talking about the portable backpack style. I'm wondering if the spray would be too pressurized at any reasonable flow of water to be safe for the paint. Any other suggestions?
