Stupid Question- OK to go through car wash in winter? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm a fan of the "do it yourself" places that have the spray gun. Like the touchless, you don't rub scratches into the paint, and you can get a thorough rinse int he fender wells and lower parts of the car where road crap builds up. It won't get your car REALLY shiny and clean, but it will get the salt/dirt off your car. When I lived in cold-weather areas, I washed it at a place like that, then did a hand-wash with dish gloves and a rag from home to get the car really clean, then rinsed it again. If the car wash isn't busy, noone ever seemed to mind, and I didn't take long in that cold weather!
