I am back in Spokane. Been in Texas for the last five years. Finally on the road to retirement. How do I best rinseless wash in freezing temperature. I have ONR, handheld pressure sprayers, quality microfiber towels, buckets, microfiber for windows. Part of the Durango is being warmed by the sun. What is the best way with my supplies to clean my wife's Durango?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171206/3113a23a8e1a41e3126c422a1d35e24a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171206/9d107a6f3a70e15c2b716e411980de0c.jpg

panel by panel, definitely let those panels soak for a bit, I tend to spray the whole side, start on one panel and work my way down, re soaking as needed as I work my way down the car

A bucket of warm water helps a lot. Also use rubber gloves. Pre spray a panel, and wash and dry a panel at a time.

But you never get that cold or do you?

I used two bucket wash with Griots red or pink soap. ONR in a pressure sprayer. To dry a large microfiber drying towel. Presoaked each panel, let dwell. Used synthetic wool mitt to wash each panel.

When it's cold, a Master Blaster Sidekick w/ a 16" towel works well (the air is heated).

Short of 40 and the Sun on the panels washing anything is a disaster. While doing a rinseless at 40 in the shade the hood turned to ice. The only panels I could dry were in the Sun.

Pull that truck in the garage and get a heater. Even if your able to get temps into the low 50s you'll be fine. Use hot water with ONR, the Garry Dean method, and stick to a panel at a time.

Anything under 40 degrees makes for miserable washing. 30 will work if you are in the sun. Problem is with cold pavement, it is no fun to wash on an ice rink.

I don't mind the cold, last winter I only missed 1 weekend the whole winter. I'm used to working outside so it doesnt bother me. the only problem is hands getting to cold. You cant go over the whole car without letting your hands warm up in between

Try a boars hair on a extension pole maybe? Now my hands are okay, but no matter what I wear on my feet man they freeze. Sock liners, darn tough wicking socks and keen hiking boots but they quickly get cold.
