I go to the coin wash early in the morning (usually Sunday at about 6 AM) There is never anyone else there. I fill a pail 1/2 full and add the Crystal wash soap and I'm off. I always use rinse and soak the car as well as get most of the **** off the car. I then wash as normal and the rinse again. I usually dry the car also. Have been doing this for years now. Works for me cuz I love a clean car. Merry Christmas all!

I go to the coin operated wash(it's a block away) to get off road grime. If I get a day over 55 degrees, I'll hand wash and quick wax.

Last year I used the touchless wash all winter. This year I'm going to try to brave the cold and use the coin-op. My garage isn't heated but is usually above freezing (think they forgot to insulate between the heated and unheated). I can't wash in the garage because it's a single stall and way too small, and no hose connect or drain. This past Friday I used the touchless because I was in a hurry. Got home and opened the tailgate, loaded stuff in, went to close it and it wouldn't latch because it was froze.

That's hard core. I'd be afraid that the water run off would make a sheet of ice on the concrete overnight.

It sure keeps the various people trying to sell things away for a day or two...or at least until the ice melts!

We can bring our vehicles into the firehouse to wash them after 4:00 PM on weekdays (when the office is closed) and on night tours and weekends at the discretion of the officer in charge.

Seeing that I am the OIC, it isn't a problem!

I'll usually wash it in the driveway unless the temperature is below freezing. At that point I'll either wait for a warmer day or I'll consider using the coin-op wash down the street and wand off the worst of it.

:P you will know its too cold when your hand gets stuck to the wand!

I have tried QEW, and I can't say I liked it. It marred my paint , but i think my car was really dirty.

I usually wait 'till weather breaks, then wash. Usually two-three times a months during winter season.
