Detailing tips for the city dwellers?

Like everyone else in here, I am a detailing fanatic. Back in the day (when I lived in MI) I had a garage with ample storage, electrical outlets, hoses all over the place, etc.

My R56 will be coming in this week (hopefully) so I'm trying to figure out how I can maintain it without all the amenities of a garage/house. The car will be parked on the street. I don't drive to work, so it will only be used on the weekends or at night for getting around and entertainment. I have an outdoor faucet I can use. I have a first floor apartment so with an extension cord through my bedroom I should be able to reach my car. The street is semi-shaded with trees so it won't be in the sun all day, I haven't noticed any problem with sap dripping on cars either.

I'm thinking I'll pick up a hand-held vac but probably won't bother with a power buffer for now. Since hydro seems to be the most popular product on here, I'll be ordering a bottle of that. I read that hydro "cures in 24 hours," will there be any issues with the car having hydro applied and then sitting completely exposed outside afterwards? Any fellow city dwellers find any tips/tricks for those of us with limited space?

Thanks.
