Thread: Washing Your Car in Cold Weather

Luckily or garage at our Condo has a carwash stall with drainage and water. The garage is typically around 65 degrees so it's very pleasant.

I should use it more often than I do.

Just tried wiping mine down with warm water today cause I couldn't bear looking at my "two tone" painted car (red, with white salted doors) lol. I tried doing it outside first and the water froze within like 5 seconds haha, don't know what I was thinking. So I put it in the garage and wiped it down a couple times, its all good now.

Well, you cant just rinse it, you gotta wash it right. AND dry it. Then, you hope & pray that you get to keep all your fingers when your done.
New Years Eve, I washed my car after work. I dry my door jams & EVERYTHING. When I got off work from the bar around 3, my doors were frozen shut.

I never use the automatic either

Hey it was a balmy -8 this morning here... they say its going to be just under 30 for the high today (Crackhead forcaster) which would make it t-shirt weather up here.. heck if it gets to 33 I'll get the pool out*!!! Weeeee!

(* its hasnt been above temps here for the last 3 weeks now, very sad seeing -temps every day... winter isnt over til July anyway)

If it was 110 degrees everyday I would be HAPPY!
