Does winter drive anyone else crazy?! Several days in a row of below freezing temps or least in the mid 30s. When it does warm up some there is rain and then ice. Then the temps are cold again. Here I am trying to resist washing the car because I know the water freezing on it would do the finish no good. I hate running it through the touch less machine. Every time I walk up to the car I can’t stand how dirty it is. That can’t be my ride so dirty…..

You could wipe down with ONR and QD after. It's not perfect, but it helps.

Yeah I hear you. Everybody on the forum hates me for this, but this is why I love the automatic car washes. Perfect in the winter when I need a quick wash and I don't even have to step out of my vehicle in this freezing cold weather.

But yes, as mentioned above, ONR is a truly amazing way to thoroughly clean up your vehicle without having to step outside of your garage. Whether I am doing a rinseless wash or spraying it on and wiping off with a bunch of MF towels, ONR has fantastic cleaning power with a completely streak-free shine.

My drive to work early this morning bordered on brutal with 35 miles of whiteout conditions, high winds, no such thing as lane markers (down to first and second gear on the Interstate where it is normally 75 mph), then 40 miles of ice and finished with 15 more miles of drifting snow. Only two spinouts and one roll over (SUV on its top - looked bad).
