With my winter wheels and lowered car, i am to low for Delta. And with it being so cold out the self wash is not an option as the brushes do not work and the water freezes to the car. Anyone know of a place i can get to? I don’t own a show car but like to wash it once a week in the winter.

I take mine to any of those “touchless” washes at the Mobil gas stations. They actually clean the car pretty good too.

Show up! Sometimes the line is a little long on a nice, post salt-onslaught week type day.

When it’s this cold you’re better off just leaving it dirty.

Getting out of there is worse than in.

They make sure to hand dry the door jams and blow out all of the handles and such so shit doesn’t freeze.

My R32 was low as fuck when it wasn’t bagged. Coming into the wash bay there is a little drop, but nothing you can’t just take slowly. Leaving there is a crest from the bay to the sidewalk and my exhaust would just BARELY clip it.

If you can trudge around in the snow without fucking anything up, you’ll be fine.
