Can I wash my car without a hose?

Can I really wash my car without a hose? I'm moving to an apartment complex, so I won’t have a hose available to wash my car myself. My dad said there are ways to wash your car without a hose. Is this true?

“Congrats on your new apartment! Yes, you absolutely can wash your car without a hose.
Check out the options below to keep your car squeaky clean:
  1. Use rinseless car wash products. A rinseless wash is a concentrated formula that you dilute with water. You’ll apply the product with a wash mitt––all you need is a bucket of water to rinse the mitt off.
  2. Try car wash spray. Use a microfiber towel to apply and wipe off waterless car wash spray. A waterless wash is best for when your car isn’t super dirty.
  3. Go to the car wash. Depending on how often you like to wash your car, you could always budget to go to a car wash. If your car gets super soiled, a car wash will be better than the other methods above.
No matter what you decide to do to keep your car clean, make sure that it’s also protected in case of an accident.
