There is nothing wrong with washing your car in the rain. After all - all you are trying to do is remove the dirt & it save you having to dry it.
Anyway craig - there isn't a HPB on in Shropshire?
For those darn sarf who are not so lucky - 2 options use waterless carwash - I can recommend Chemical guys Blue detailing spray with carnuba - comes by the gallon if you so desire & can be watered down 1 in 2 to make it last or use rinseless car shampoo.

There are new ones just come onto the market too...

2 bucket method is recommended especailly as you cannot wet the car first.

I can't take credit for this one, but confirmed as OK by Thames Water last time there was a hosepipe ban

You could always collect rain water into a butt. Karcher are now releasing pressure washers with an additional water-butt pump included.
