Also living in NJ, I don't see how one could hand wash their car when it's 25 degrees outside. I can't keep the outside water on during the winter because the pipes will freeze.

And OP, where in NJ are you from?

Lol, 60F here and everyone is wearing furs and running for the heating shelters, it's all a matter of perspective. :D

Seriously though, anything much below 50F and they open the heating shelters.

TC :rolleyes:

55 degrees here in SLC ut and my windows are down all day so far. Haven't committed to the wash yet, too much salt still on the roads.

I bucket wash at the local car wash... I can always get a bay when it is cold out. :lol:

When it is below freezing, I wash very, very quickly... have a routine. Not that bad... but then, when I was a teen, I washed 18 wheelers for a while...washing the trucks in winter, after coming out the mountains = not fun... but the pay was phenomenal... truckers tip very very well... ;)

Most of the time I can find a day here or there above freezing to wash. I'm in DC, not that far from NJ.

People are seriously worried about cold hands for 10 minutes? Not like you are going to get frost bite. Gee...

HaHa. Hand washed the Mustang yesterday. Then jumped in the jeep and drove to the Car wash. I have to dogs and absolutely hate trying to get the interior clean. The local car wash will have that interior clean in 5 minutes. With their army of cheap labor.

If it's cold, just fill a bucket with hot water from the tap. It makes it pretty tolerable in colder temps.

Live in NJ and always hand wash. Just wait for a 40+ degree day. But then again, it's not my daily driver.
