Just wanted some quick opinions on a few things. I have been taking my wash bucket up to the pay and spray so I can use their power washer and my own soap and wash mitt. Its been working out fine but it was 36F today and nearly froze my fingers off with the wind and temp. I was thinking next time using some dish gloves over some winter gloves or something to that affect. Any one here use the pay and spray in the winter with any good winter ideas as far as keeping warm? Do your doors freeze shut? My other question has to do with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash and using it 3:1 as a detail spray? How's it working out?
 
Rick,

It is impolite to brag about your balmy conditions in LA

While we are freezing down here in San Diego
 
Real funny guys!

When winter gets really cold here I usually go to the coin op by my house and spray down my car to get the majority of the winter crud off. I don't worry about drying or anything. I take the car right home and it goes into my garage for a rinseless wash. The water doesn't freeze that way either. I take hot water from home in a gamma sealed bucket if I want to do everything at the coin op, this helps keep my hands warmer. I put on some thin gloves, just enough to keep my hands a little more comfortable. I then put my nitrile gloves over top to keep the heat in and the water off of the gloves. When I dip my hands into the warm water bucket it's a nice little treat.

Are you really using Uber Rinseless at 3:1 (3 part water and 1 part Solution)? I thought instructions were 3oz to 1 gallon (128 oz).

Yes you are right, translation from my head to the keyboard got a little messy there!
 
I use dish gloves... that's all you'll need on your hands. Since they are rubber you're hands will be plenty warm in them (at least mine are).
Optimum No Rinse is good for that quick winter clean up.

Check out Cabela's for full finger angler gloves. I have had a pair similar to these for years. Just used them last week temp 35F.

Is the resulting solution inappropriate to use as a detail spray without the additional .36oz per gallon? Does it make a functional difference?

Good idea! There used to be a pay and spray about 1.5 miles away from my house but they tore it down now I have to drive 6 miles. I thought about the hot water but hot water freezes faster and I'm worried my car doors wont open in the morning...

I have a similar question too. I wonder if I could just make a gallon at detail spray dilution and use it for waterless as well. I figured I'd use detail spray dilution since it's a stronger solution in hope that it is more lubricious.

To prevent freezing use a product like Gummy Pledge or just plain old dielectric grease on your door seals. They are both silicone grease.

And the water should hold its heat quite a while.
