This is not going to work or it will turn out like your attempt in January. The morning temp for tomorrow is below freezing.

Leaving soon...going to wash the car...might even hit up Taco Mac afterwards . Thankfully, it's warmed up...it was still cold when we left for lunch. Driveway is in the sun, too, so that will help. I hate washing the car in the winter and my hand gets numb before I've even done the windows.

I agree. I thought freezing was below 32 degrees My car hasn't been washed in three weeks. If I were to piss all over the wheels to remove the brake dust, it would look better than what it does now.
Junior, are you using warm water in your bucket?
#450
You sir need one of these. Then you don't have to get your hands wet or bend over to clean the side doors.

Well that was the first site I found. I bought a similar product a year ago by Black Magic and it cost me $35. I love it. Problem is I can't find it anymore and its definitely time to find a replacement.

Really thats pathetic. I know when I was at school in NY the auto washes always ran in the winter. Only way to save your car from the affects of road salt. I would spend $40 a month on auto washes. Full was with under carriage pressure wash once a week. They just use warm water so they don't freeze. I certainly used these washes numerous times when it was 20F outside.

Alex - a hangover is caused by dehydration, so water, lots of water...that's it. Drink a large glass before you go to sleep if you can, and keep another beside the bed. Any time you wake up, drink some. Drink another glass when you wake up. At your age, that's more than enough.
Vinny - You know I'm down, but call...I don't text.
Taco Mac ...now I'm really thinking about that place...thanks a lot . But at least my car is clean

Well TSX is clean now as well. Luckily I had forgotten I had washed it only two weeks ago and had only driven it twice since so my cleaning consisted of sitting on garage floor around the car with the garage closed clear off a few dirt spots with quick detail. Glad I skipped the cold wash.
Now I still have to finish the new JDM project as right now since it isn't finish I have no door panels

Vinny sounds great hope we can figure something out. You can text me for sure I DO TEXT so that works. Sounds like a great time to try Taco Mac. I will hit up Eric and see if he has off next Sunday.
