Tim, I would have at least worn at hat and some rubber gloves in that weather. The pressure washer sure does help.

For me, it has to be above freezing and with enough sun (or ground heat early in the season) so that ice doesn't form on the drive way. Besides falling and breaking bones, I fear falling and hitting part of the car with whatever is in my hand as my arms go flailing ... the hose (with nozzle) would be the worst. Not worth risking it.

Anything high 40's. I prefer 50's! The only place I can hand Is at my parent's house!

Above 32 as long as the temps are not going to drop at night and freeze the driveway.

I'm going to say above 40 outside, and using warm water buckets if it's in that range, if it's below freezing then I'm in the garage doing an ONR wash.

Tim,

You know you have a addiction when your washing in those temps!

Luckily down here in texas it doesnt get to cold that often and when it does i just wait a couple of days before it changes again

If it's at least 40 and the vehicles need it. It is warm enough.

My neighbors think I'm nuts when it's the middle of winter and I'm out washing! As long as the water isn't freezing......

Well seeing as the coldest daytime temps I've seen here is 68, I guess thats the lowest.

My car will be covered and protected this winter. I don't plan on driving it until the spring. My parents car I will wash in 50+ degree weather. Maybe spray it down at the gas station hose.

Why is >32 degrees the lowest temp? I've washed in the teens and quite often in the mid 20's.

What is this freezing thing everyone is talking about? What does that mean? It was 85 degrees here on christmas day last year.

Re: At what temp will you hand wash your vehicle?

I have done my car in freezing weather but now that I have ONR I can do it in the garage in the winter. It's not heated but it's well insulated and usually is considerably warmer than the outside temp.
