This is the trade-off all east coast Evo owners have for getting the 93 octane gas we don't have out west.

 

^^ Lol I'll take my 93 and freeze for my car anyday.

 

freedom's waterless car wash!!!!! USE IT!

 

car wash that ****!

 

You guys all need to pick up some Optimum No Rinse from Autogeek. All you need after that is a bucket of warm water, and some microfiber towels. Like the name, there's no rinsing! Lots of professional detailers use this product during the winter.

 

I was mine in my garage.

Find a friend with a garage. My friends usually give me a 6 pack of my beer of choice.
I'm usually pretty well stocked with New Castle all winter.

nice friends!

 

Get a DD and keep your s*** in the garage until a nice day comes around

 

the garage option seems to be the best one but not everyone has access to one especially in the winter. Like i stated before, clay bar your car before winter, and just wash it when it's not cold out. or take it to an indoor professional carwash where you can pay someone to keep it clean for you with out having to worry about the water and soap freezing.

 

I bought this from Griot's Garage and works fantastic!! Like all their products, its definitely worth it.

Clay barring won't do anything but remove contaminants that were already on the paint surface and can strip your existing coat(s) of wax/sealant. That's fine if you're prepping the paint for wax, but using a clay bar alone will not protect your paint one bit. Go ahead and clay bar if you haven't in the last 6 months to a year, but you need to follow that up w/ some wax or sealant for protection.

 

Dude, you live in Santa Monica. We've got several 100 octane fill pumps within a couple miles. And just east of Barrington on Santa Monica you can get hydrogen. Throw in the fact that our racetracks are open all year long and we have touch car washes.

See what I get to touch?

 

Exactly.

 

some of us arent as fortunate to have a garage.

side note: if anyone knows of a specific car cover t hat fits our car nicely (with the wing), shoot me a pm.
