Beating the cold -- detailing in winter?

[BudgetPlan1]

I'll second this one. I don't even bother detailing this time of year.

…

This time of year, I've just learned to be patient, not worry about a dirty/flawed vehicle, and wait until Spring.

Indeed…sometimes doing nothing is better/safer (and easier ) than doing *something*. Have faith in the prep & protection and let it ride until better days.

Exactly.

This was discussed in another thread recently. And John (2Black1's) mentioned (and I agreed) that the salt/grime on your paint is the least of your worries if you have a reputable LSP applied to it.

It's the undercarriage and all of the tiny cracks and crevices that will do your car in if left untreated.

Thats the real gripe, no LSP applied at present. I was going to take advantage of temps in the 60s this weekend to do it, but car is going to the dealer friday to take care of some issues. Might just wait until it warms up a bit, slap some Griots ceramic 3 in 1 on it, to hold it to spring.

If there's no LSP, you could foam it with something like AutoFoam without worrying about the high pH.

Back in the day when threads like this would pop up there would be dozens of responses on how to beat the cold. Now all we get are weak men with weak excuses ... wait until spring

The first time some smart Ass punk takes his finger and wipes “wash me” through your months old stash of winter grime and ghosts your paint you might rethink that “leaving it dirty is safer” mantra

To each his own

I don’t know if I’d go the “cheap Chinese version” for something I plug in, drop in the water and then dunk my hand in .

Also box said for water only. Maybe a rinseless or bucket wash would gum it up?
