Hosepipe ban

With the impending hosepipe ban on the 1st April (maybe it's a joke!?) what to do about washing your car?

There isn't a car wash ban (yet Rolling Eyes ) so just rinse off with a bucket thrown over the roof and a watering can around the sides. Thumbs Up

Exemptions.....

using a hosepipe to clean a private motor vehicle, or walls and windows of domestic premises, where this is done as a service to customers in the course of a business.

So can I charge the mrs to wash her car? Then that would be ok
