I'll fondly remember remember warm mornings with leaves rustling in the wind, the scent of the finest detailing products lightly being carried by a gentle breeze.

What do you all do during your "offseason"?

No off-season here. Having a climate controlled garage and multiple vehicles helps for sure. When it's stormy and nasty out, we will drive my daughters CUV that sits outside. Otherwise, we leave the other two inside clean and dry. To clean them when REALLY nasty, I'll take them through a touchless but then rinseless wash and primp it to perfection inside the garage right after. The only real difference is how Often I clean them. More in the winter actually vs summer.

I'm in Florida. Now is the season to enjoy cars and detailing since the high heat and humidity of summer has ended. I wash exclusively with a hose and foam gun year round in the garage That's why I moved down here. Wow, I've officially been down here for 17 years now.

I'm in Minnesota. Sucks here in the winter but I always find a way to keep my trucks clean as possible.
My stock sized truck I run it through the no touch at least twice a week.
My not so stock truck don't fit in any car washes so I have go to the you spray it.
I go there after 10 pm so I can break out the bucket and do a thorough wash and not have to worry if someone else comes.
Then I dry it off best I can in the steambath that is the 50 degree carwash.
I do this 3-4 times a week . I'll snap a few pics next time

Is it one of those old school washes where they have the big plastic strips on the front and the back to keep the heat in?

No it's a newer outfit. Has regular garage doors.
Also has a spot free rinse that actually works pretty good

Had 4 days off for Thanksgiving. Not a one of them was decent enough for a wash. Sunday afternoon i could have pulled one off i guess, but the truck was really not that dirty. I confess, already miss doing the weekend details! Did inside things. Caught up on sleep, ran cleaners thru the washer & dish washer. And binge watched TV. And made a list of car care stuff i will need for next spring. Guess there is nothing wrong with just doing nothing. Just sometimes it's hard to shut that switch OFF from work. Use to being busy i guess.
