Things are going great except I`ve been dying to wash my car for a month now. This weather is making it impossible. I`ve received several new products but can`t use them. Very frustrating as you can imagine.

Steve I am not gonna lie, I have been calling storage rental places asking for a heated unit with a couple of electrically outlets :rockon No luck.

Red or Blue. If you need some correction first go with white then switch to red!

Me too. But I am waiting until spring so I can strip off the winter protection and start from scratch. My plan is to lay down some BFWD, then BFCS and top it with the Fuzion.

I actually can heat up my garage using one of those forced air propane torpedo heaters. A couple downsides to that is that even though I can get it up to 60 to 65 degrees the surface temp of the car just doesn`t want to warm up so waxes and QD just doesn`t work like they should. The other downfall is that once it hit above 60 it means the heater has been running for quite some time there gets to be some carbon monoxide build up. Even though I have an insulated garage the door aren`t and have slight gaps which is a good thing so I get some fresh air to dissipate the gas.

I remember cleaning cars in my garage in the winter (in Chicago), using a torpedo heater. We used to wash them with warm/hot water to warm the surface of the paint.
