38176, It' too cold to handwash & I'm dropped, so where can I go for carwash? Posted by Scarface, Jan-09-03 11:32 AM
Well, it's fucking freezing out and I don't have a garage, just a long driveway, so I don't wanna lose some fingers to hypothermia. Can I bring my car to a carwash even though im dropped 1.6-1.7" in the front? Cause there's salt all over the car and I wanna take it off before I get rust. Thanks goons

I dont handwash my car either, I go to a touchless car wash, it uses high pressure water to wash the car instead of the normal brush system. Its got to be better for the paint

ive heard high pressure water is bad for the paint. and when i do it, it really doesnt get all of it off. oh well. just get a car wash brush from wal-mart. its like 3-4 feet long and you can hook a water hose to the end so it flows through the brush. dont have to touch water with ur hands during the winter. thats what i do when its cold out

I just pull into the stalls and scrub. If they use soft brushes it's not gonna hurt. I always spray the brushes off too tho. I hand wash sometimes. Keep it waxed and it'll be easier to clean.

^^^Thats the key. I wax my car even in the winter time so dirt doesn't stick to my car.
