car wash in winter???
So where do you wash your car in the winter? I like to hand wash the car but its been too cold out this last month and i just recently moved to the downers grove area and not sure where to go or who to trust. I had a hand wash close to me in St Charles but thats about a 45 min drive now...
I called the dealer the last few weeks and the wash was closed assumed becuase of the cold weather. I have a leased car that will not be kept but i dont want it to look bad either.
Thanks and Happy Holidays to Everyone!!!

Well ive only had the car since sept but since winter I take it to a heated car wash close by my house. My car is a lease too but i dont need it to be all glossy for winter. As long as I get all the salt off then im good. Ill go back to hand washing once its warmer out.

You don't need to do a full detail in the winter time. But if your able to protect and seal the car with winter wax or sealant around Autumn, the car should be protected well even in the winter.
Some people get rinseless washes to wash their own cars inside a garage with very minimal water usage. I'd just run to the coin-ops with a wash mitt and some soap and do a quick spray down and wipe.
If not, you can do touchless washes, but the chemicals are so strong that they would remove any wax or sealant you have on the car.
But if you trust a certain detailer at a car wash location that isn't automated, that works as well.

auto expo hand car wash (in Libertyville) only for me in the winter. I will never go through a spinning brush car wash & touchless doesn't clean the car at all.
I might wash it in the garage today though. It's not too cold.
