Car washing this time of year

(1/4) > >>

markc:
Haven't been able to wash the car this week, due to not wanting an Ice rink on the drive or in the road.  I do about 300 miles a week so it gets quite bad with all the grit n salt etc.   I think it will have to have a Jet wash somewhere soon (no brush or sponge though).

How have you guys been gettin' on washing wise ?

Gtiain:
I wanted to ask this too, is it best just to karcher it down? That's it?

stealthwolf:
Hopefully someone will move this to the Detailing section. In short, it's better to wash the car in a jetwash place, making sure nothing but water touches it. No scrubbing brushes etc.

If you create a hazard, you could well be held responsible for any mishaps that occur thereafter eg little old lady slips on the frozen water and cracks her head open.

Alternatively, if the car is well protected with sealant and waxel, youcould use something like Optimum No Rinse, which uses a couple of buckets of water and a sponge (shock horror!) but is safe to use on paintwork without risk of marring.
