Default Winter Washing?

How do you wash your car during the winter? In the summer it is fun but now I have to worry about frostbite. I know auto car washes is a no-no. But is there any type of car wash that would be safe for my TT and its wheels?

Later,

Troy

I used to use warm tap water for the wash part and used the cold water from the hose for rinsing. Pull the car into the warm garage and dry it off. At first, it was cold and miserable but you get much faster after a couple of times.

Default Look for the hand wash places. They are popping up all over. (more)

They are a little more expensive, but well worth it. My guys here charge 13.95 for a hand wash and they clean it beautifully

Take it from an expert in cold weather washing, use a dull ice pick. 8•}

A hand job is always more satisfying! Don't rub too hard.

That's a little beyond good taste, but since it's the Holidays, I give you a pass on it

Most will scratch your wheels, happened to a few people here, and swirl marks
