Thumbs up Washington DC detail in the winter?

Hey all I use this guy as my car detailing service in the winter ecodetailmobile.com but I was wondering what everyone else does during the winter.
This guy is pretty good but I use him mainly because he comes to my house and does it without water. I use zaino stuff in the spring/summer but his cleaning is good for the winter since the water freezes over in the Maryland, DC, Virginia territory in December, Jan, Feb, and even March.

Any other alternatives? I don't want to actually take my car somewhere, but a mobile service is definitely key.

PM me and I'll see if we can do a group buy!

I wash my car in the garage with Optimum ONR ( a rinseless wash ). I've done it when it was 25 degrees outside. I fill up two buckets with warm water from the kitchen sink, and my hands stay warm during the wash

Otherwise I'd be taking my car to an automatic car wash and the scratches would start to accumulate.

I would just google it. The company ( Optimum ) has a website, with tutorials on how to use it. And you can get it from most sites that sell care details supplies, most likely including any forum sponsors.

Basically it's a way to wash your car without rinsing it off, so you can wash a car with very little water usage. Good for drought and garage washes.

You should post this in the National G Club section. Everyone there is from the DC area.
