How often do you wash in Winter?

[vet]

I try to wash every week, depending on what the roads are like. I'll use the coin wash if the truck is really cruddy, then an ONR if I have time. If the roads are full of crud, and I'll be out on them, there's not much point in doing the 'beauty' job.

15 Degrees here so I will be doing the same!

23 degrees here today so it will be going through a touchless followed by DG Aquawax.

It was my understanding that the chemicals used in most touchless washes stripped waxes and sealants?

That may be true for some touchless car washes, but I have yet to find that to be the case with the touchless car washes I use.

You can see it for yourself in my winter test thread: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/56247-wolfgang-dgps-3-0-winter-test.html

Fill the two buckets up with warm water prior to going out so my hands don't freeze.

Ill wash right after I get back from the mountains as well I do not let mountain grime sit on the car any longer than nessicary.

I am really frustrated with the continues below 0 temperature & cant able to wash my ride as I dont have garage

My question: Is there any product by which we wash our ride in below 0 temperature? as water just freezes

I am actually quite surprised this difficulty is not more widely discussed.

I goggled , you-tubed but no success

This my first winter in canada & I came from Pakistan where we have only few below 0 days & here in canada we have few above 0 days

My ford Edge 2011 dark blue has 2 coats of wolf gang paint sealant 3 & one coat of NXT (did when one day it was 8+ degree) but now ride is almost white colour caz of salt & I dont want to do ice scraping by doing washing

Thanks in advance

Florida weather allows this pretty much anytime.

It usually never stays cold during the winter here more than about 3 to 4 consistent days in a row and when it does..... Hello Garage and ONR

I haven't missed a week since August. It's been a challenge to keep a defrosted hose as of late.

Once a week if I can. I usually do a hose down at a coin-op and do a rinseless using Garry Dean's method.

Its not the woman...its the kid that saps your time! Winter is tough, If its below 32F I don't bother, when it warms a bit GDM or touchless wash. We went from 5 F to ice storm and now 50 F in 5 days.
