Question How can I clean the Z without water??

The problem is the waterpump is busted and I just don't have the cash to be able to fix it, so I can't drive the car anywhere to wash it. Is there anyway that I can clean it without water...or would it be ok to use a sponge and a bucket of water (no soap) to avoid having the soap dry on the car?

Thanks

If it has been driven in the rain you really can not safely wash the car with out soap and water and a hose, if they car is just a little dusty you can use some detailer spray after dusting the car with a California Car Duster.

So you're washing a car that doesn't drive?

Can you take a shower without water???

The chances of your car getting scratched without using soap is is like 10000 times greater, especially if you chamois the car after.

It has not been driven in the rain, however it has been rained on several times where it's sitting right now.

Does it matter what type of California Car Duster I use? My girlfriend got me one for Christmas, but it is not the red one...it's made by the California company but it shaped more like a sponge than a mop.

Thanks.

Yes. It's sitting outside, it's been rained on, there's bird poop on it, and I need to wax it, but you can't wax a dirty car...I also got a car cover recently and you can't put that on a dirty car either.

Thanks for your help.
