I don't even trust touchless washes. I have no idea what kind of cheap chemicals they use in those things.

again, the one i described, or a cheap gas-station one?
we used high-quality chemicals, the barrels were kept in the backroom and i'd help move them at times
very strong concentrates though, extremely diluted

w00t for going through this thread, seeing all the hand job posts, and keeping my mind firmly planted in the gutter

but to be on topic of this thread, this past weekend I went to was my cars and found my hose to be frozen, well, so was the pipe in the house, I let that run for awhile and the ice came out. the hose on the other hand, ended up attached to the bathroom sink with hot waters running through it.

OP, you try a screwdriver and gently nudge the valve open?
