Best winter washing method

[57Rambler]

I have a heated garage but even without, my process is pretty much the same. I re-fill my touchless wash station card as there's a really nice laser touchless 2 miles from my house. That gets the vast majority of gunk off and helps blast the undercarriage too.

Stay away from those Moo Moo Expresses, that's for sure ...

Live in Iowa here, so feel your pain. I will go to the coin op bays early morning late at night so I have nobody waiting behind me. I load up my arsenal and fill my buckets at home and will do a two bucket wash and dry in the bays using the wand to knock off the heavy stuff and to rinse.
If needed I will run through the touchless wash to keep up on trying to keep it clean. During the hunting season can be the hardest time keeping the truck clean.

Pretty much my exact routine although I do a pre-treat with an Uber or similar at WW ratio. Also, I always use their final "spot free" rinse after I have done the main rinse, esp. if I am going to be lazy and do the highway drying technique instead of hand drying.

I also do RW's when the vehicles aren't too bad. GD method all the way and I usually dump a dozen towels in the bucket for good measure.

I've always been curious about this as well.

I use a dozen of these :

Cobra 12 Pack Edgeless Polishing Cloths

These are the same as the Forrest Green Cobras but I like the lighter color as it makes it easy to tell when/where it's dirty. $20 (or less on sale) for a dozen, you could only get 3-4 mitts for that price.

If it is at least 30 degrees, I will do a bucket wash in the driveway. Sometimes I forget to bring the hose inside the garage to make sure it thaws. When that happens, I fill some buckets and use the Worx Hydroshot to blast as much crud off of the surface as I can. Then I will do a rinseless wash. Just make sure that you are working on the surface of the car facing the sun. Any surface in the shade will freeze up.
It is also a good idea to invest in some ice fishing gloves. Glacier Bay gloves will keep your hands warm and dry and you can get them at Bass Pro Shop.

Those are thick neoprene gloves? I've used nitrile gloves in the past.

They are fleece lined neoprene gloves. They are thick enough to keep your hands warm but you can still get the feel of tools and towels.

AG doesn't sell ice fishing gloves, so go ahead and link away UD.

Seems like a good use of my saved up L.L. Bean "Bean Bucks".
