Washed my car in the 30's and 40's. Got some weird looks from the neighbors :uhok:

I've never tried it, i have never thought about it, but today i will wash it. Supposed to reach 80* today. It's been around 2 months since the last wash. I don't think i would like being in the cold and washing the car.

Don't have to wash in the winter, the car is stored. Damn, I really can't wait for spring. :(

Chicago sucks, you can wash it in the freezing snow, but the next day it will either be salt covered, rain or snowed on.

I had a mixing valve installed for the outside faucet. I usually set it to output luke warm water in the winter to avoid the "hand numbing" experience ;)

now that i got my new boyds i am gonna have to treat my car better, it will definately be an adjustment to me but i will get it done;)

When I drove my T/A through the winter, I would go to the local spot not and just get their touchless car wash. I always preferred to wash my cars myself, but frostbite sucks worse.

I've washed my car when it was 34 out (yeah, it gets that cold every once in a while in FL)...I wear rubber gloves when I do that to keep my fingers from freezing off, but it works out. I have no garage either, but that doesn't stop me from wanting a clean car. The temps actually dipped to freezing in the shade I was working in, so some of the water froze on me in the drying process, but the air coming out of the leaf blower was just enough to melt it and blow it away. It had better be damned cold before I won't wash my baby.
