wannaBstuntin Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I washed my car Jan 26, which was somewhere between 21-31. Unfortunately I didn't realize this because the water froze into a sheet of ice on the car before I could start drying. Pics in Post 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prangy Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I got around to drying it before it could turn to ice haha, the sun was hitting it so that helped me out a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sup Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 29ish, never again. I just take it to a touchless wash when it's cold now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Probably about 15 degrees but I kinda cheat. I pull it outside and spray all the big crap off with the pressure washer and get a general rinse....then pull it in the garage and kick the kerosene heater on. Then an hour later I go back out and do an Optimum No Rinse Wash when it's about 40 in the garage. I probably won't be doing that anymore though since I don't completely trust ONR to not swirl my super soft paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIR_VTEC Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 lol and the line of work you do would work here too especially in a little while... Of course, but also the market there is more demanding than the midwest, therefore foreclosure rates are super high there...from what i've been told from friends there that do the same work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristin Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 When I used to live in Chicago [last year] I was tired of all of the snow and dirt all over my car. My car is white... so all of the black slush made it look like one giant bird turd. I took my car to the car wash. One of those "do it yourself" places. It was something like 10 degrees out. My car ended up getting stuck in the car washing stall for a few minutes... all of the water had iced over... making my car damn near IMPOSSIBLE to get out. I had to kind of rock the car back and forth until it could get traction. Ice sucks. I didn't even have enough time to dry it before the water turned to ice. At least it didn't look like a bird turd anymore. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
