good call on that one man!! but i think the hot water would be faster, the trunk monkeys ability to work in cold weather is often hindered by its naturaly tropical living environment

Don't do the car wash method - it works for mud and yes is does get snowoff. But its dam cold outside and that makes hot water cold water and soon your door handles will freeze shut and your trunk button to freeze. go to a "self serve" car wash and just clean the rims until it gets a little warmer.
