Okay experts - can I wash my car without a hose?

I do not have access to a hose in my apartment building and am wondering what the experts think my options are for washing my car. I have gone with a 2-bucket system with my Jetta, but I plan on taking better care of my Mini.

What I did was have a wash bucket and a rinse bucket, with separate towels. I'd wet the car, then use a really wet towel from the wash bucket to gently loosen any dirt. After 2 rounds of that, I'd switch to the rinse towel. The rinse bucket's water remained clear for the whole time I washed the car, so I think I got all the dirt off with the wash towel (I changed out the wash water halfway through). My Jetta is dark blue, and does look really good when it's washed.

Would I be crazy to do the same thing with my PW/B MCS (assuming it ever gets here!)? Or, are there portable car washers, maybe something like those handpump-powered insecticide sprayers? Or do you have other options for me?

Thanks for any help!
