it was 30 degrees in florida today. im talking miami area too. my coworkers are complaining like crazy down there since most of them dont even have heaters lol. oh and one of them had to scrape ice off with a spatula!
 


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
