    I`ll wash it as often as I have enough spare change laying around to run it through the coin-op or touchless (which will probably be at least once a week). On the weekends, a dash to the coin-op and ONR in the heated garage is pretty easy, provided I have the 3 hours it takes to safely do all this. When the weather is above 34F, it gets a regular wash in the driveway with the hose and 2BM.

    One of my clients told me just to text him when my car is filthy, and I can bring it over and wash it in his (4 car) garage, complete with heated water and a drain. :cornut:

    I guess I`m lucky I have a lot of free time, I dunno how you guys can only wash your car once a month during winter!

    how I made up to 5K USD month reading best online home business opportunity

    recently I was surfing web and suddenly I found site called www.home-businessreviews.com I discovered how to start my own home business and i was able at last quit my job where i was employed one year, now I`m making up to 5K USD month. I was able to make such kind of cash because I discovered some very great internet home business opportunity. At website named www.home-businessreviews.com

    OK seems that site owner finally Came across really good online business program which helped him to begin his own best home business opportunity, so he eventually decided to make website and write about his own experience about making money online. It seems that he lost thousands of dollars before he found winner home based business program which actually work. But which one? see at site below!

    Depends on weather and driving conditions. First half nice day above 34F after a snow storm I do a high pressure self serve to rinse off the crud. Then the first nice day above 45F I do a good hand wash at home.

    We usually get a couple days in the low 50sF in January then I add a coat of sealant.

    I`m not opposed to bucket washing if the temperature is above 40, but that can be pretty rare in the winter here. I`m looking forward to see
    what I can achieve with ONR this year.

    If you have a garage and can close the door after running the car for a while (such as pulling in after a 45 minute drive), open the hood for about 30 minutes - really helps to warm the garage.

    Next, get one gallon warm water and add your no-rinse solution of choice. As long as your ride isn`t caked with crud a no rinse wash in cold weather actually does a really nice job!

    That`s exactly how I do it when the temps outside are below 40 degrees.

    Another thing that helps warm my garage... the wall mounted garage vac! So I vacuum the cars, takes maybe 5-10 minutes, and the airflow coming from the discharge side of the vac is nice warm air!:biggrin:
