Ummm I don't know...go to a carwash
It's -40 Fahrenheit here and I can still wash the car...just make sure you dry it before you leave (otherwise all the doors/locks will be frozen).

You didnt read my title, nor my thread did you?
On a lighter note: you could encase the parking offenders' cars in ice as a means of expressing your displeasure at them taking your space.
Yeah I did...I just thought you were stupid
How does a car wash freeze over?? All the carwashes I have seen are indoors (automatic and hand wash)?
I guess I have a 'northern' perspective on this?

This is florida, nothing down here is really made to withstand ice... i tried 5 different automatic and 1 handwash place.. all were closed.
All the car washes here on Long Island are still running. And the temps have been in the teens and below for about 10 days straight.

Why go to a car wash? I washed both of my cars last Saturday morning, and it was less than 10 F outside.
Here's how. Get a 5 gallon bucket, put soap in it, and put the hottest water in it that you can. Face the side of the car that you are washing toward the sun, and then wash one section of it at a time. Don't worry about rinsing it off first or last. Just use a chamee (or however you spell it) to dry one section after you wash it. I usually wash a section that is the size of one door, and then immediately dry it off. It worked perfectly, and the cars looked great!

Well if they are all closed b/c of ice, I DEFINITELY would not try washing my car outside. What will happen is a big skating rink around the car and a layer of ice over the whole car. Doesn't matter if you use hot water, it will freeze. Just wait until a place opens up.

that could be fun!!.... and when yo udo it, don't spray directly after the first time... just kind of mist it over... you don't want to blow the first layer of ice off
don't wash your car Seriously i go to full auto carwash like one ever 4-5 don't see a reason why the car needs to be washed every single week and why people wash the car them self instead of paying someone to wash it for them.

I'd be more concerned about staying the hell off the roads.

Exactly. We used to turn our backyard into a hockey rink back in MI this way.Originally posted by: slikmunks

3" around here, 9" - 10" in the mountains, 12" at the coast. Hell, 1/2" is good enough to get the kids out of school
We don't get much snow around here (the NC coast got 12 inches; their highest in 14 years). It's still pretty icey and horrible out. A cop just lost BOTH his legs when a semi slammed into his cruiser And three semis were BLOWN OVER today by high winds:QTRENDING THREADS
