For better or worse – depending on who you are, the blazing hot days are over and the cold is on its way here.
Many of you are wondering how you will wash your car without getting frostbite. The answer to this varies. People who live in areas averaging under thirty degrees during the winter have minimal options, while people in areas above that average temperature may have more wiggle room.
Find A Coin Operated Car Wash
Going to a coin-operated car wash will save you the time of setting up the pressure washer, which can make a huge difference in the amount of time you’ll need to spend in the cold. Just bring your own buckets and try to use warm water in them to keep you warm.
The PSI is probably a lot higher in the pressure washers at these facilities than in the ones at your home, which will also increase the speed at which you can wash your vehicle.
Use No-Rinse Or Waterless Car Wash Methods
Waterless washing is when you dilute the wash solution into a spray bottle, mist each panel, and wipe it off with microfiber towels.
A no-rinse wash is basically a regular car wash, but you don’t need to rinse the car at the end of the wash like you would with a traditional car wash.
Look into these two options to see if they’re a fit for you, and make sure to buy high-quality products to avoid scratching your vehicle. We don’t recommend these methods to anyone who doesn’t regularly wash their car.
Protect Yourself
Water and freezing temperatures aren’t two things you typically hear being paired together. Frostbite is a real thing, and mind-over-body only goes so far. Do yourself a favor and buy the proper clothing, preferably warm and waterproof, to avoid any health complications from washing your car.
