You should be good to go. You really should do the rinsing with a pressure washer, but you can go an adequate job with a garden hose. Not the absolute most bestest job, but a decent job

Basically rinse, rinse again, then wash one panel/section per time, starting at the top and working your way down. When you get to the lower sections, make certain to really lubricate the areas to help move the dirty around.
Ohhh OK.. I knew this would eventually come to the point of selling something.
I'm sure autogeek also sells the foam sprayer attachment, clay bars, water de-ionizer blah blah blah....
This 'cobra owner' probably also appears in Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette and other performace car forums.
Good washing advice, but I have also seen it in Zaino documentation and other car magazines.
