William F,

Looks like we have about a week and a half of warmer weather coming on monday of next week (11 Jan 10 - 18 Jan 10).

Do your M205 work with DA in the garage. It will save you a lot of trouble and the garage will be much warmer than outside.

I must admit that I am tired of Canada leaving there back door open for the last 3 weeks. I've so far survived a blizzard and an Alberta Clipper (Wind chills down to -15 below 0) IN OKLAHOMA OF ALL PLACES!! Winter of '09/'10 will be one for the record books here!

Cold weather isnt good for detailing. Products gunk up and arent effective. Its best to wash and use liquid wax. The cold weather is especially a problem with cleaning carpets and matts because the water doesnt dry as fast and is more succeptable to mold. Best to vacuum and spot treat with towel.

I live in an apt and have no garage

I think if I did, I would just plug in a propane heater, warm up the garage and not even worry about it.

Guess I'll be putting this on hold for a few weeks until it warms up a bit. It doesn't make sense to clean the carpets and upholstery really well if they won't dry right and then they end up smelling funky.

Is it May yet??

My cars havn't been touched in the past 2 months and it's showing....BADLY.

I'm in the same boat. Just ordered some ONR so I can at least wash it. I tried to use just some high pressure water at the drive-in car wash bays...waste of $1.25!
