Ive ran into the issue of cold weather washing when its like low 40s to 50s ish. I ve heard sealskinz are a popular option but dont know of any others that offer good protection while being waterproof. Any thoughts on this? and curse you winter weather
 
Do you use hot water? I would guess my tap water is around 120 degrees. It makes a huge difference compared to cold water from the spigot filling my bucket.

I would get some very thin “running” gloves and cover them with latex or nitrile gloves.
 
I don't have this problem... but if I did I'd look into some insulated dishwashing gloves.
 
I think there is another thread just like this one from a few months back. People posted suggestions on that one. Me,I just wear regular gloves and throw yellow dishwashing gloves on top.
 
As a Massachusetts detailer, I run into cold weather a lot. I fill my buckets with hot water, black nitrile gloves and then the yellow bathroom gloves over the top which I secure with my hair elastics to keep the glove extended to my forearm and to keep water out better.
 
I wash my cars in the winter all of the time and the best gloves are Glacier Glove insulated ice fishing gloves. You can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods. They keep your hands warm and dry but they are not too thick. You can still get the feel of what you are doing.

I just add hot water to the wash and rinse buckets to make them warm
 
I use normal kitchen gloves form the supermarket with hot water.

I have always used warm water in cold weather but those gloves look nice. I think i will have to get a pair.
Do you use the ones with the wrist strap?

Hello fellow New Englander. I use the Glacier Glove Ice Bay model. There is no wrist strap but it fits snugly around the wrist. They also have a nice texture that provides some grip.
 
Thanks, i think i will get a pair of those.

I am right next door to you. I golf in your town at Seggy a couple of times a week.
