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

    I think you need to add another choice to your pole. I wash in the garage, but it's not heated and there's no drain. So, I wouldn't say I'm "hooked up." I use a rinseless wash soap like QEW, Optimum No Rinse, or DP 4-in-1. I get some small puddles on the floor, but not too bad.

    I wash with warm water and hope it doesn't freeze before I dry it.....
    It's pretty rough on the hands though. lol

    My Dad works at a warehouse with warm water and a heated garage. I guess I'm hooked up. When I can, I detail cars in there too.

    I'll take pictures next time I'm doing some PC there.

    My parents have a heated garage with a drain hole. It's just another excuse to go and visit them.

    I use the Touchless Laser wash when the weather is bad.

    I'll bear the cold weather for a half hour or so to wash my car.

    My neighbors think I'm nuts, but at least my car looks better.....
