washing cars in winter is a waste of money. Sure, you're car will look like sh*t in a few days anyways. However, if you wash it once a week you can prevent unwanted rust. My parents didn't wash thier 89' Grand Marquis during the winter and it died because of rust. I sold my dad my old 93' 88 and now he washes it every week. Lesson learned.

the idea is not to make the car clean...it to prevent the salt

Thats correct. But I hear otherwise lately.

i just want to remind you all to BE CAREFUL when washing your car in the winter time..car washes are just downright dangerous sometimes because of all the ice, i know of at least one person who lost his life simply while trying to wash his truck, so take a little extra time, go slow, hang on to something if you have to....but please be careful out there.

Mom'* Nissan is rusting at an alarming rate.

It'* how we lost the Cressida.

It'* how we're losing the Bonneville.




GET THE SALT OFF YOUR CARS, PEOPLE, BEFORE IT'* TOO LATE

A good coat of wax or sealant is also a good friend going into the winter.

Use only touchless car washes to perserve yor car'* finish.

Unless,of course,you live in the South

I washed mine last night after almost a week of rain, Damn,she looks good

I live in the south, so I wash it to keep it clean.

My uncle drove the Subie up to South Dakota about a month and a half ago, and it got covered in salt. When he got back, the first thing he did was wash the car. He didn't even unpack it.

Mine gets a run through the drive through every other tank. Nothing makes a car shine better than a thin coat of ice!
