I rarely wash in the winter unless I'm going somewhere special and need a clean car, or the temp. hovers around freezing. If it's colder than about -5C the salt won't affect your car and can sit there all winter without harm. The water you use to wash it does more harm than good.

Lol, I noticed the flag right after posting, then figured I'd leave it anyway. Honestly I don't know how y'all deal with all that snow and cold. I know I couldn't.

Heat blowers in the self coin wash like they have in some of the automatics would be great in the winter so you don't have to towel dry your car in the cold I'm willing to pay an extra buck for that. I'm trying to get my local guy to install one....~Radd Guy~

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

The MR2 has never, and will never, see snow. The Corolla (or whatever I have running for the winter lol) gets the old-skool car wash. Touch free are useless, and I'm too lazy to do it myself!

I can't imagine storing my baby for the winter.
She loves to play in the snow and I would miss her too much.
