Winter Cleaning

So how do you guys go about cleaning the G in the winter time?

Up here in Canada it's already too cold to really get in there with the waxing/polishing/claying etc etc.

I'd really like to do one final clean + wax before the snow hits.

So long as you have an above-freezing garage, using ONR and two buckets of warm water you can keep it clean during the winter. So long as you did a good detail before the winter and wash the scum off it regularly, it should be ok through the winter.

Two bucket method with Optimum No-Rinse. No hose required.

I would never use that on a dirty car. There's no way it doesn't scratch the paint. Plus, you go through a ton of towels.

At school, i go to the coin op wash with my two buckets, mitt and soap and just hand wash it in the car wash. Buck to spray, wash, buck to rinse. Done.
