washing in Winter???

I have a black 2006 Escape Hybrid:

In the Summer, I must have put 30 coats of Zaino on it at various times.



Now, the weather sucks here & the truck is filthy & covered with road salt. It is way too cold out to wash it in my driveway & really the only legitimate way to clean it is to run it through a touch-less lazer wash near where I work.



Is it better to just leave it dirty for now or run it through the lazer wash???

Take it to the coin-op and use rinse water and spot free rinse.



Spray the under body as good as you can.

I just ordered a bottle of ONR, after all the good reviews I`ve seen I`m finally going to give it a try.

I use to use the lazer wash myself with little issue. The people at the wash probably thought that I was crazy but I would pre-wash my vehicle with a Z7 mix applied with a sprayer about ten mins. before I entered the wash. It helped to loosen most of the dirt before the actual lazer wash.



The only concern with the lazer wash is that the soap concentrations are set correctly by the car wash operator. If not it could possily (although unlikely) weaken you LSP layer.



Winter is a fact of life, I myself prefer ONR now. ONR, Z6(or Z8), and then done.
