I typically try to not wash my cars below freezing. Since this is my first season with a car worth babying, I was way late in giving the Z a 'final' wash before winter. I typically don't otherwise wash below freezing just because, well, water freezes.

I would think about it, though, it I really needed to get the salt and dirt off, and I drove over to a heated touchless wash on a sunny day or day when I can park the car back in the garage again.

I never really thought about just spraying the car down manually without soap. Makes sense, really.

Some of my aversion is because my DD/previous car was not garaged.
