If you live in Lincoln Park , you are lucky if you have a parking space.

In Chicago you are going to have to wash it eventually, just to take care of the winter salt!

ya cant wait for that time of the year LOL any sugestions on a good waterless wash system

I've never used any so I can't comment. Couldn't you at least take it to one of the coin op washes and hose it down, and then pull off to the side and do some of the rest (applying sealant, etc)?

ONR all the way for our winters!!

I plan on making up a batch of ONR stronger than recomended for waterless wash, mixing some PB's Spray and Wipe with it, maybe 50/50 spraying my car down, hitting it with a PW and if it's warm enough - cover my hands with some warm knitt gloves, then put on industrial rubber gloves and do an ONR wash... if it's 40 or below I will skip the sceond part of this plan

Do send me your mixture rates. I'm sure I'm going to have to do something like this myself. Man I need a garage and a winter beater.
