LOL.. I put mine away two days after thanksgiving and we have had no snow (knock on wood) and several days in the 50's even one or two in the 60's. Looks like I put her away for nothing so far, but there is still alot more winter to go.

I tried driving my nice cars year round but after having the soap and water freeze on the car while I was washing it I gave up and started parking it.

I usually give my cars a winter prep detail before it starts to get too cold. Then I take them through a brushless wash as needed to remove the road salt.

You've got to go to a true brushless where the car is dried with the blowers. 100% automated. Usually at gas stations.
