Pop down to the local garage and wash it, Just dont direct the jetwash directly at it.

Helps to have a few hands helping with sponges & brooms/mops.

Or try some of the waterless systems.

Or take a few aquarolls of water with you.

Try 'Onedrywash'.  You don't need water: spray one, wipe off, polish up.  Look here.  Available from many retailers and some Caravan Club (and C&CC sites) stock it, e.g. Black Horse Farm, Dover.   It works really well and get rid of black streaks like a knife through butter.  Some are not convinced by it, but i find it a really good product.

I'd go along with the dry wash idea, too. There are other brands on the market, mine came from Ideal World on TV/internet.
