car wash in the winter??
i always hear people saying they would never bring there car to a car wash, but how do you wash it in the winter?? i know you dont stand out there with a hose in 30 degree weather. i would rather not bring mine to a car wash but i dont see an option unless i just dont wash it for 4 months out of the year
No way you can dry it up ...

welp, in my case...
last winter I lived right near a touch-free car wash... but what was unique about this touch free wash was that you didnt drive through it.
you would just park in the bay and it gave you a shower.
worked well enough for the winter and didnt scratch my paint OR my rims.

Does a great job, no problems with the wheels, either. I just take'r home, put her in the garage. She dries spot free by morning. Jim

I've washed my car in sub 30 degree temps, but in the sun (so my drive doesn't turn into a skating rink). If the car is warm enough and you put hot water in the bucket it works just fine.
I have a friend that has a neighbor who will was his car, rain or shine, every saturday. Many times this past winter, they and their other neighbors were complaining about icy streets because the guy would wash his car with the hose connected to the hot water (laundry tubs) and the drainage (down hill) would freeze almost instantly.
