My car is in desperate need of a good scrubbing. It's currently 22 degrees outside. At what point will the water start to freeze to the car? It happened to me last year a few times...it sucked.

I need a f-ing garage.:mad:

do you have one of those DIY car washes? sure it won't be a full detail but it's usually heated water so you'd be able to at least spray off the road junk..

I wouldn't mind taking it to a car wash but I'd be afraid my spoiler would get chopped in half or something like that.

pay a couple bucks more and go to a hand wash. i go to one on jericho turnpike like 2 blocks off of dpa that has always done a great job. basic wash is like 13$ +tip

Westbury car wash does a good job on my car when it's too cold to wash it myself. It's 10 bucks for exterior only + tip. Definitely go to a hand wash ;)

Josh,

I think I've seen you there a few times back when you lived in Westbury. You had that red L before the black one. I used to have a white '98 Cobra...
