I like how this guy thinks. Instead of spending 800 bucks on purchasing mounting and balancing some blizzaks, how about you buy an 800 dollar beater and your evo should stay clean for the entire winter. I thought about trading in my 95 jetta but why? They would only give me 1000 for it and it has power everything and heated seats so thats my beater.

 

touchless car wash with a drier is what I use

 

yeah - I think the best way to keep it clean is to not drive it. That snow and salt just stick to the underneath and cause havoc. Else, try to get to the manual washes as frequently as possible and blast the wheelwells and underneath of the car!

 

would not recommend touchless with air dry when the temp is around 32 or lower, trust me, you will be upset.

 

No problems when I did it. Air dryers were heated.

 

I hear you and i also wash and detail once a week inside and out. I just think i will stick with my normal routine but also start driving my beater truck this is probably the last year it will make it with out some upkeep so i will just start driving it when first snow falls.

 

alright, i do it about once a week in the freezing cold, can you handle it ??? enough to make icicles from my nose

 

for washing once a week. i would drive my beater, but i just sold my other 2 cars a few months ago in order to try and pay this car off early. i shoulda done it after spring

 

actually to test my sanity my neighbor whom i had never met came over and the first thing i heard was "girl are you alright?" i thought she was joking so i responded yeah why "it just snowed and your outside washing your car, its freezing cold" i laughed and kept on washing my car... she told me she hadnt washed her truck in 3 months, haha, she rolled her eyes when i then told her i hadnt washed my car in 3 days!!!!

 

^ If it gets too cold you should drop a line and cruise about 20 miles south on randall. I work at a drive thru handwash and detail center in St. Charles, we are the best around period. Lots of our regular customers drive from about an hour away and still figure its worth it. We have all the local supercars getting washes regularly when they are actually driven in the summer.

We are also opening a performance shop next door which will be fun.

Warm water is just taking the wax off - better off not washing it Gotta keep a nice coat of wax on it

 

i went do delta sonic car wash and they are awesome. They washed my car detailed it inside and out and waxed it really good i spend almost 100$ but it was worth it my car is safe for the winter oh and i still have 2 free washes from them so i ques i'm gonna go there again to wash my car and i pay a little extra for waxing it again

 

basically i do the same as i did in the summer
wash one a week

but sorry i have no tips for freezing cold

 

I would, but Im bad i dont pay people to wash my car. And I dont really anyone with my car. I appreciate the offer though. St Charles isnt far off at all, I have family down there.

And as far as waxing, trust me, i do that in the winter time too!! just not as often as I would like to....

 

I hope I can handle it! Depending on the condition I might have to bring out my PC7424. I just picked up a new leaf blower today for drying the car as well. My neighbors think I am crazy too!
