Cheers for the help, especially welshfarmer, who was willing to send me something.
I've just been and bought a crappy double duvet cover from B&M. As it's a set with matching crappy pillowcases I now also have two small bags for other stuff!
Rubble sacks,big black thick plastic.Chuck in bike,wheels out,into bag. Clean car,job done.
The problem I had with the 'bike in a bag' method was you had to pack the bike in the bag and this was generally done in a squelchy, muddy car park which meant the bag got covered in the stuff your trying to keep off your car interior. You still got crud everywhere, albeit to a lesser extent.
External carrier has to be the most appropriate solution.
You can get an idea duvet cover for about a tenner. Or, they do some soft blanket sized "throws" for £3 in the market place. They are easy to spot as they are the rolled up ones of various colours nearly always in a big "bin" in the bedding area. I have three, one of which goes over the back of the folded down seats.
I'd get the portable jet wash and do the same would be my opinion.
Or put e bike on the roof.

if you've got it for a while get a roof rack?

Swap the company car for a car allowance, spank the money on a sick new bike, and spend the change on a rubbish car you don't mind soiling.
This is by far the most sensible suggestion - even better, get a van.
shower curtain for me on the boot floor then the bike goes in upside down. the roof lining is quite high up so the bike doesnt touch it and i use foam pipe lagging to cover the fork axle so it doesnt whack the rear windscreen
It's a company car - who cares?
My company car is pretty small and isn't too nailed after three years of bike transport.
Just chuck a sheet in, bike on the top and off you go.
builders bag !!!
wash bike with handpump sprayer and brush to get the worst off - use the brush to wipe off the drips as well and razz up and down the tarmac for 50 yards each way to dry off, then wheels off and into the builders bag
job done
I use a boot liner and shower curtain, boot liner covers the main boot and the shower curtain on top of that and covers the folded down back seats.
If you do it carefully, you can put the back wheel on the curtain and let it slide into the car taking the shower curtain with it.
I am often surprised how clean the back of my car is considering what my bike looks like after some rides!

I used a Safebag for years in the back of the Octavia estate. Brilliant bit of kit.
