Everyone one of my friends that own nice cars call me CRAZY... They have, Evo X, STi, RX-8, GTI, G35... they all say im nutz!!!..

I live in PA, and it has been 15-25 out for the past few weeks... i hand wash my car every weekend no matter what really... they said they would even clean there own cars in this weather even if someone paid them too...

I was just wondering if other people hand wash there Evo's in the winter when it is cold out.... I really do to keep the salt and stuff of it....

Here are a few pic's of my car now
FYI: You can see the snow in the background haha

 

LOL i was just about to post this up, heres mine lol

 

^^^ nice!!!

 

Last winter I tried washing my car outside and the water flow out of the hose began to slow and eventually stopped because it froze solid! I don't remember what the temp outside was, but that will give you a good idea....

 

i put on big rubber gloves and go to town....freeze your *** off but atleast your car isnt getting eaten away by the salt. that spray salt they put down is supposed to be even more deteriorating.

 

I do the same but I use the self service stalls at the car washes lol. I put on some blue dish washing gloves and use hand warming packs and I was my car by hand every weekend.

 

so it isnt just me that does this... i feel better now haha

 

Hey you live right by West Chester University and I go out there everyother weekend/ I may be going there next year. Beautiful Evo! Sometime in the spring/summer we should do some pictures or something.

To answer your question, I wash my car twice a week in the winter.... BUT I do it at my work in a heated detail bay. God I'm such an ******* haha.

 

I wash my car every other weekend during the winter instead of every weekend.

 

If I drove my car durring the winter I would be out there with you washing every single weekend. Instead I drive my truck... which I wash at a minimum every other weekend. lol.

 

you still have your works on? so im assuming summer tires? thats a lot crazier (not to mention dangerous) than washing your car during winter.

 

Touchless car was FTW every other day

 

do mine in my garage, handwash with a bucket of hot water, and wash and dry sections at a time. usually door, fender etc

 

idk if this was directed to me or someone else but let me say this....i will never drive on summer tires in the winter EVER again!

I know it seems like common sense, but for a broke college student, i could afford a set of winters, also i never really had the choice before, always road around on all seasons. so i thought no big deal......mistake lol

Scary **** when summer tires are on ice, It like driving around on hockey puck slicks lol 0 traction anywhere. Lesson learned thats for sure, but still had a lot of fun in the evo!

 

Woohoo, finally some people that are nutty just like me. I washed the car the other night and by the time I pulled in the garage to dry it off, the water had already turned into ice.

I'll be washing the car tomorrow after work since it'll be a heatwave outside (high is mid 50's).
