i didnt think it was lookin too bad for being almost january here in michigan. it was about 45* and the wife had drove down a gravel road after it had spit some slushy crap from the sky so it was looking pretty awful. so i froze my had off and gave it a quick wash and rinse.. i didnt bother to dry wax or even was the wheels. but i thought it still was looking pretty damn decent for the end of december.

Next time use warm water in a bucket, then your hand won't freeze. I'm loving this mild winter and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it was like this until spring.

I thought of that don, by with the wind I figured it would have sucked worse going from warm to icy breeze.

Yeah I do the dive in car wash and hand freeze rub down when the temps are just above freezing. Otherwise it's the drive thru touch less.

Looks good! You need tint my good Sir!

Tint is on the list Milady!

The coldest part was redunking the mitt. The temps were not to bad and the water was about the same temp as the air but direct contact with the water transfers heat/cold better, and that was the worst part really. But it was still cold enough that i said forget drying, and the wheels where not horrible after i hit them with the hose.

I kinda like the wheels ( everything bit cleaning them) and she likes them so.... happy wife... happy life right! They are not THAT big a deal. Allthough I am gonna try both my 18's and the black t - stars and see which of the three are liked best. ( probably put a pair per side and take some pics to see which look and fit the car better.)


The other bad part about the car is the little scratches and crap. It looks great from about 20 ft. But the interior is still pretty darn decent and we just rolled 100k the other day with very very little rust. So it should be around for a while regardless how it looks. And for $3k I wouldn't say too bad a deal really.

I mean it is her " winter beater " technically. Lol

Steve there's no breeze inside a wash mitt.

If there is then an F5 tornado is heading towards you and you shouldn't be washing the car anyway.

I washed in the 50s before but never 45. Looks good though. I also find that water just doesnt want to dry off the metal under 60 degrees. Its like it just wants to stick and condensate when I wash so I dont bother under 60 degrees.

Hey Speedy, if you had a fast car you could go for a drive and air dry it.

It won't spot if you use a water filter. I have the Mr Clean wash system and it works great, but they quit selling filters and soap in the stores and I'm almost out of my supply.

Well being that it is the end of December and i was able to wash it by hand, water spots can kiss my a$$ , I didn't even wash the wheels for Pete's sake, just hit them with the hose and called it good. It will get a more proper cleaning when the weather allows.

But like I said, from wet gravel road to looking that decent, water spots can suck it even harder! ..lol...
