I agree. It was like 30 degrees (with a wind chill in the 20s) yesterday when I washed my TL. It got so cold that I couldn't feel my toes anymore so I had to stop and go inside to warm up. It took me like 4 hours (2 hours to warm up inside) to finish.

I love waxing my TL and you are going to think I am crazy but I always wax my car during the winter. I just park my car in the garage, put a heater in there, come back in an hour, and squeeze my way through the bottom of the door so I don't let the warm air out. I have on a jacket but by the second hour, I take it off because I am used to the temperature. I actaully rather wax my car in this weather than 90 degree weather.

That's not so bad... gets like 50-55 degrees in our garage with the big kerosene torch heater thingy...

Problem is washing it

Yesterday it was like 25 so I went through a drive thru touchless car wash...drove down the road then dried it... looked good, but it wasn't clean anough to wax
