I take it to a car wash and spray off all of the heavy gunk, then take it home, put it in the garage and wash it with QEW2008 Meguiar's Batmobile Team

I'll bear the cold weather for a half hour or so to wash my car.

My parents have a heated garage with a drain hole. It's just another excuse to go and visit them.

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...
My Dad works at a warehouse with warm water and a heated garage. I guess I'm hooked up. When I can, I detail cars in there too.
I'll take pictures next time I'm doing some PC there.2015 Fiat 500 Abarth.

Re: For those of us in the colder winter climates...
I think you need to add another choice to your pole. I wash in the garage, but it's not heated and there's no drain. So, I wouldn't say I'm "hooked up." I use a rinseless wash soap like QEW, Optimum No Rinse, or DP 4-in-1. I get some small puddles on the floor, but not too bad.Comment

I usually wait 'till weather breaks, then wash. Usually two-three times a months during winter season.Comment

:P you will know its too cold when your hand gets stuck to the wand!
I have tried QEW, and I can't say I liked it. It marred my paint
, but i think my car was really dirty.

I'll usually wash it in the driveway unless the temperature is below freezing. At that point I'll either wait for a warmer day or I'll consider using the coin-op wash down the street and wand off the worst of it.2004 Ford F250 SuperDuty Crew 6.0L Diesel - Black
