Man, I don't even want to put gas in my truck when it's this cold out. That's dedication right there.

I have to at least spray the truck off 2-3 times a week in the winter... dirt and salt on our vehicles drive me crazy

Yea. it was freezing as soon as it hit... seemed to not freeze once the wax started pumping to the nozzle. I just spray it off on the high pressure wax setting...

$2... 5 min... can't go wrong

I usually go to the self serve wash bays and bring my own bucket and gear. As long as I keep the meter running they don't complain to much. I usually go late at night when it's slow also.
