I wash the car under 32 degrees where my hands would freeze potentially getting frost bites. Just curious is it just me or are there anyone else out there doing this?

 

I would imagine it's just you. Washing your car at/below freezing would result in a bunch of frozen soapy water on your car.

You would have to use luke warm water and wash your car while it idling to even have a chance. Also use rubber gloves to keep your hands dry

 

wait for redlude97 to post in here.. that fool has a method of washing your car indoor with two buckets of water'

 

32 is not bad

If you car is garage kept then the body panels should be a bit warmer then that.

If you use hot water (in a bucket) then you should not have any issues.
I don't when I wash it in such temperatures.

Now if you keep your car outside in the cold them you might have slight problems. In that case just get couple of buckets of hot water and simply dump it on the car to warm it up a bit before the wash.

 

hahaha

I got to hear that one.

I have heard about two bucket method........but indoor....that's something new.

 

ONR. A nice alternative.

 

I wouldn't really pour hot water on glass that's at 32 or less.

 

Nothing is going to happen to it.

in order for it to crack the temp need to be much colder then 32 and the water needs to be boiling

 

2 bucket ONR with Hot water. No need to even wear gloves. You dry each panel before it can even freeze. Can be done easily in a garage. No excuses now.

 

what's ONR?


so what do you do......do you just keep your sponge just slightly wet so it would not drip?

Search it, a lot of detailers use it on a regular basis, its not just for winter washing.

 

I done it bofore didnt work out to good. I hate when my car is dirty

 

Any other similar products available locally Hai? ie.. meguires etc..?

 

aha nice to see it's just not me. it was liek 20 degrees out when i wash at the DIY wash. the water basically froze in matter of minutes so i guess its a bad idea for that. i gotta dry this 2 bucket method now.

 

You can pick up QEW which is similar product at some of the camping and RV places, just do a dealer search on protect-all's website.
