What Would You Do?
When winter takes a holiday and a midwest January day is sunny and 60 degrees, and the snow melts, what to do? Some head for the golf course and some head for the hose and bucket!

I wish I knew your address, Sport. I would have dropped my car off, just in case you were still in the mood

I do mine weekly in the Spring, Summer, and Fall when I have access to the hose in the condo complex. During the winter I have to wait until a decent day then I use the car wash at Andrews AFB, but use a bucket. I try to seal and wax it every season.

This afternoon I washed my C300. Temp was 34 degrees F. When I pulled it inside to dry it, it had dropped to 32 deg.

Wasn't all that dirty but........

I just washed my c and glk this afternoon on a 1 degree outside temp. Did everything like it was the middle of summer. I cant stand not washing my cars every 2 weeks specially in winter as the salt and dirt accumulates like it wont come off if you leave it on the panels. I also have a dedicated hot and warm water hose just for washing in winter.

Nope. I always wear single use vinyl gloves whenever doing any car work plus the bucket water is warm.
