Hey folks.. Just wondering what everyone here does in the winter. In Canada, it's obviously tooo cold to be holdinga garden hose to my car and try to wash it when it's -5 Celcius outside and with the polar bears and flying hockey pucks all around it would be too dangerous

Seriously though.... I usually go through the touchless car wash and that seems to do the trick.. In the summer it's allot of TLC with hand wash, dry, wax and polish.. But what do you guys think??? Is touchless a good idea in the winter and ifnot what do YOU do to keep your car clean in the winter.

 

i usually take it to those car detail places.. they do a good job, except when they spray that damn pina coolata scent.. in the car yuck!

 

How often do you do that?

 

i used a touchless car wash once, didnt like the results, wont again

in the winter my car stays dirty till a slightly warmer day comes around
i just have to baby it, and buff it and clean everything in sight after winter

 

So this makes me wonder now..... A car that is always washed in the winter using touchless, detail shop etc.... Will have no real protection against dirt and salt soooooooo, is it better to leave your car dirty all winter long until the first warm day??? My thinking is that the layer of dirt and salt will protect the car from the rest of the dirt and salt... What do you guys think?

 

You would think that it would make sense doing that. I use the touchless car wash with my 90 Audi 90 last year, and I was pretty happy with how much crap it got off the bottom of the car (with those under body jets) still havn't done winter with my A4. I may just store my car for the winter. Thats a great way of avoiding salt!

 

keeping clean in winter is just a battle you cant when. I do the same thing, when its warm, then it get some love.

 

yea i went to touchless once and i could have done a better job in 15 min. so i just keep it dirty, try not to drive it too much.

 

actually you know whats funny? my sig pic was taken after some high school cheerleaders washed my car for $5. (they did a **** job, but mos def worth it).

 

My baby is always handwashed but then again I live in Florida.
