Al - Washin' in winter

Hey Al,
I know ya live in Boston and winter is coming

Do you wash your car during the winter months or wash it before the snow comes and give it a good wax then wait till after the snow? Or what do you recommend I do?

I just gave it a good wash and wax last night to kinda prepare.

nice, it is mad cold out. I have zaino on my cars to protect them thru the winter, except I havent had time to do the ML yet . I put a good synthetic paint sealant on before winter and then ill just try and wash on any warm day during the winter. It is really difficult around here, I hate it

Hell yea, it is wicked cold. I went to the top of Columbus to take some pics of my car after my wash and wax last night, so I can post some pics :p, my hands were like frostbitten!

But I got some good shots in with the Pru and Han**** in the background I'll put those up later tonight.

I try to wash in the winter when it's not too cold outside (remember last year? we had some warm days!!)

I have the same problem too being in the boston area. I just can't stand seeing all that salt and mud caked on the car.

I try the touchfree carwashes but I am not sure if they are doing more bad than good?

Will they strip off the zaino as well?

This weekend is supposed to be pretty nice so I am planning on putting zaino on my car.

BTW: Ali did you ever get my PM's?
