We've been lucky here the last couple of years without too much snow, and/or I've been able to avoid driving in it.
If you've got a garage you can wash all winter long. After my mom passed a couple of years ago I inherited her old oil heater that languished in her storage for almost a decade. It sat in my garage for over a year until I finally turned it on to see if it was worth a damn. Within 30 minutes my garage was warm enough for me to work in it in the dead of winter, sometimes in a t-shirt. A $50 heater should make it comfortable enough to do rinse less washes in the garage all winter long.

Sorry, my phrasing was poor, when I said "I may try a wash in the garage" didn't mean I've never tried that before, I've been doing that since back in the QEW days, almost 20 years ago. It's just cramped, dusty, and the lighting isn't that good. Someday I'll get it all fixed up, at the rate I'm going that should be in 2048 or so.

Gotcha. I was in the same boat until I got some overhead storage. That freed up a ton of room to make detailing a hell of a lot more doable.

I cleaned my glasses with ONR, not on purpose though. I put them back in the case, then dropped it in a bucket of ONR. Pulled them out quick, but they still got wet. The case and cleaning cloth are drying out, the glasses came up nice and clean.

The Qashqai got caught out in the rain this afternoon, parked not driven, so as soon as I got it back inside I gave it a dry with Carpro Ech2o. Still my favourite product.
