Looking for advice on keeping the cars clean over winter. I live far enough north that I can’t use a hose between now and probably early April. I have to cover all my outdoor faucets and blow the water out of my hoses because everything freezes solid. I’ve never washed a car during winter. I’ve allowed the slush and salt to build up until I could safely use my hose again in the spring or occasionally gone to automatic car washes as I wasn’t worried about the paint anyway. This is the first car I’ve ever cared about the looks of so the first I’ll be trying to keep clean when it’s -20°F.
Surely some of my friends here on our little forum have had cars that they kept clean through the winter. Is it all waterless car wash and microfiber towels? Is it taking it to the car wash and using the quarter fed pressure washers? (And then trying to get it dry before the water droplets freeze on?) Is it hauling buckets of warm water from the bathtub to the garage and trying to do a soap and rinse without a hose available? (And again drying before the water freezes on). What’s the secret? Any advice is appreciated.
