Chance would be a fine thing!) then I would no doubt take a bucket of soapy water and splosh it all over with my sponge, regularly throwing out the dirty water and replacing it with clean, rinsing the whole thing at the end to make sure that the soap was all off. I’d also splosh the water over the wheels, over the front grill bit and over the windscreen and back window, using my sponge to get them clean.
