In Toronto, Canada and washing myself not an option and paying someone to detail in the winter is waste of money.

TIA.

I'd suggest you give it a try, but maybe you don't have the same OCD problem I have!

I'd try to wash the car every once in a while - particularly if Toronto uses the same de-icing spray on roads that they use in Maine (magnesium chloride?). That stuff will eat anything - and quickly. Much worse than regular salt or sand.

Have you tried washing with QEW? Don't need a hose for that. Works well once you get the hang of it. Even can wash inside a garage, if you're skilled.

I hate the salt and crap that hangs on the car so if it gets nasty out I will wash down the cars after I pull them in the garage to get the slush and salt of them. Sometimes I don't even bother to dry them.

I am lucky that I have a drain in the garage. The garage is heated as well. I keep it at around 45 degrees all the time in winter to keep the chill off the cars and nothing freezes. But when I want to wash cars I can crank it up and it can get to 65-70 degrees in 15 minutes. I also have hot/cold water so I can wash with warm water.

It's heaven.

I "visited" the sanctuary last week when I had some time. really felt a connection with the '72 bimmer, must be because we share dob.

taken to a pressure washer (Don't worry, I keep the wand far away from the paint).

Hand wash only if it gets to 40-45.
