Where do people go to get their car washed when it's freezing outside? I usually got to Brown Bear DIY in the summer. I just need a quick wash but don't want to pay some place $40 for a wash. How about an automatic one (touch-less of course)?

 

what ever gets it clean touchless wash is a waste of money imo

 

I wait until it warms enough that the rinse water doesn't freeze and wash it in the driveway.

 

Man up and wash it yourself =P

My car got washed last weekend with the roommate's GTO. Your hand gets used to the water by the third time you need soapy water. Takes an hour to warm it up afterwards, but you're rewarded with a clean and shiny car

 

just fill the bucket up with warm water and your hands will be fine

 

wash it myself with industrial rubber gloves....can't feel the cold

 

Have someone in the family wash it for u. Give them like 5 bucks or beer.

 

I've washed my car when it was sunny and in the upper 20's a month or so ago. I've also washed my car when its been pouring rain outside (natural rinse). I know, makes so much sense huh?

 

Warm water in the bucket?

 

I have an warm water spout outside, but I don't like running the water externally in the winter, especially a winter like this that keeps freezing --> warming --> freezing --> warming -->freezing...

 

Look up a product called Optimum No Rinse.

 

room temperature water and drying pannels as you go..... very quickly afterward.

Sometimes a spray on lubricant such as Speed Shine (Griots Garage) can postpone freezing a few minutes.

 

Agree with the optimum no rinse (or any other good rinseless car wash) and some GOOD drying towels.

 

Ha ha, I figured that was what everyone was going to say. Maybe I'll wait till next weekend and hope it warms up a bit. I changed my oil today and just about froze my hands off. You'd think I'd be used to the cold being from WI but you never get used to it. You just deal with it.

 

The brown bear in Bellevue (off 148th) carries warm water in the winter (regular cold in summer). So you can try that.
