Actually washed mine today, probably around 37-38. Wouldn't have been so bad if the water was not so cold... and didn't have any gloves.

Washed mine in the mid 30s. Didn't dry it off at the car wash and it froze on the drive home.

Probably low 40s for me. I love using Optimum No Rinse with warm/hot water to keep the hands from freezing.

A wise friend of mine once said, "just because it's cold doesn't mean it's less dirty." I always wash it when it's dirty

It's 37 degrees right now at my house and I'm headed out to wash my car. Not too bad. I always use hot water from my garage sink. Wish I had the heated garage and floor drain thing. I've got a fridge out there too so with heat and a drain I'd never have to leave.
