Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

They probably think...wonder if he'll wash mine if I ask

LOL! Actually I did have about 2 ask me that question! Then I had one older lady who always sees me washing and ALWAYS tells me, it is going to rain in a sarcastic voice! I just smile and say, "Yep, and then I will have to wash it again! " LOLOLOL

[QUOTE=Tech154;189013]Its knida tough to keep your baby looking at its best during the winter time. Here in Long Island,NY we're about to get between 6-12" today, you can see how frustrating it is. Not only that, my Impala "THE BLACK PEARL" sleeps outside because I live in a apt. complex, I have zero choice and all I can do just try to keep that deep & glossy shine throughout the 12 months. Anyone with any ideas or advice, there more than welcome. [




Get one of the easy pop up tents(make sure its anchored) and do on a relative mild day that can be tolerated, then detail it.
As long as apartment lease office doesnt mind....in fact they may want you to do their's - lol

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

We have relatively mild winters where I live (Okla) so I can wash normally every couple of weeks

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

If I had a garage that I could pull the car into after the wash I would do this every week. But since I don't it will have to wait until it warms up a bit.

LOL! Yeah...my wife took those pictures. In fact, she even helped washing the car. I felt sorry for her as she got pretty cold, but I am proud that she wanted to try and help!

Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese! You Yanks have no idea what cold is about. We had over 12 feet of snow & temps as low as minus 40 fahrenheit. We struggle through, go to the local "touchless" to get rid of the salt, hope the doors don't freeze & drink more Scotch. What is your problem?? - IAN

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

I can sometimes wash it in a heated garage. It just depends on timing.

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

I will generally wait 'til the weather breaks. This is my first winter with the Mazda and I'm not looking forward to seeing it dirty. Not sure if an automatic wash is even feasible since I lowered the car on Eibach springs. Bought the all-weather mats the other day to keep the salt off the black carpeting!

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

As I am reading all of these posts, They all say spraying the most of it off, Are you guys just using water to get off the most of it, or actualy using the bad soap and doing it all out.

A thing like that upsets (edited for language - Mike P.) a guy. Car wash places using bad soap. (Edited for langauge - Mike P.)

Would it be worth the money to try that no rinse stuff?

Well, I live in Turkey...

And the weather temp. is generally above 10°C, except January and February

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...

I wait until an above freezing day and at the very least, give the cars a nice hose down and flush out the wheel wells and undercarriage the best that I can. On the fare warmer days, anything close to 40 degrees, I will give it a nice "complete" wash and dry. When I just "spray down" a car to remove the heavy salt and sand, I never dry it.
