Unhappy must detail car

ok guys i just need to vent a bit... last time i fully washed/detailed/waxed my car was october. i always wash my car by hand and hate taking it to the car wash. its been so cold and sooooo much snow/ice/salt lately. i can't stand looking at the poor thing. whenever i take it to the car wash they never fully wash it and i can't stand the damn swirl marks!!! OMFG i can't wait until it reaches at least 50-60 degress so i can dedicate a day and fully detail my baby with a few coats of wax, totally wash the whole interior, clean the engine. damn i miss those warm summer evenings when i cruise down the street cranking some beats and everybody stares because its so shiny and fresh. ahhhhhhhhhh its eating me aliiiive, damn you winter!

Yo Dude you can wash your car even in winter but you can't detail. I just finished detailing my car yesterday and it took me 4 hours to get everything done from inside and out. Washed, Polished, Waxed and cleaned my interior.

I'm using a good quality polish & wax so it lasts really long maybe about 5-6 months. (Autoglym)

I detailed mine last Saturday, 42 degrees, the water was cold as hell. But after 4.5 hours, it was all sparkly and beautiful. It also helps that after the wash I can pull it into my garage.

You peps hafta understand that NY state uses half of all salt produced to put on the roads during winter! 2 weeks after a snow the roads are still white and become saltwater with any rain. Your wash and detail is gone in like one or two days.
I too am ready for warm weather!
