It seems like you should look into a rinseless or waterless wash. Even though I have a garage and driveway to use, I still prefer to use a rinseless wash because I only use a total of ~4 gallons of water and there is less excess water to dry from crevices on the car. There is also a lot less run-off than using a traditional wash with rinsing.

The one that I've been using for the past few years is called Optimum No-Rinse. It's pretty popular on many detailing sites. Just do a search for ONR.

Recently, I've also tried using a waterless wash from Pinnacle, but I only save that for when the car is only lightly soiled. This is used somewhat like a quick detailer, so there is extremely little or no run-off. This might be the easiest way to get around your apartment's management.

I think you can talk your apartment management into letting you use a rinseless wash, as there are formulas that are environmentally friendly and there is very little run-off.
