Would probably seem like Everest.
When I lived in apartments I didn't wash my cars. I worked at a dealer and the detail crew would knock out a $50 for $10 on the side. Doesn't really help the OP, I know. Maybe it does. Any mobiles detailers on your area? Maybe you can at least get a clean car for your $400/mo.
Lugging a couple buckets is a piece of cake - done it for decades. Location made no difference whatsoever - it's the process that counts.
All kidding aside...there has to be some value in trying something as a workaround - typically when there are no other choices available. There have been numerous trials of new detailing products and techniques done here. Those were driven by benefits in one form or another, rather than taking a step backwards.
