Mine also but not in 30 degree weather with a FROZEN hose. ha ha ha. I will spare her the automatic car wash. I will spray it down at the self wash and hit the bottom best I can. I will NOT use the brush though. Never know when is in those.

Its really simple guys. When its cold out, one bucket, 5 gal, with car wash solution of your choice in warm water. Right next to that is another 5 gal. of warm rinse water with a cup in it.
Just like doing dishes, (this will get a lot of response), wash and rinse start at the top and work your way around.
Rubber gloves advised, but optional.
What makes it even more fun is doing the tires and rims. I had an old office chair I took the back off of and use that to wheel around the car. Cushioned seat, hydraulic adjustable, 5 wheel drive.
This is livin.

daddyo has the right idea! We've had one helluva cold snap down here in Georgia, but I refuse to give into mother nature!
The mention of rubber gloves reminds me. If you can find yourself some insulated rubber gloves like professional barbecuers use, they are even better for washing your car in the cold. I bought mine from http://www.texasbbqrub.com/tools.htm for $10 or so shipped.

Car Wash
I dunno guys...would love to have the time (kids, work, other interests) and the weather (Northeast US) to hand wash her. Alas, I do not, so she has regularly gone to the car wash (touch and touch-less) since day one. When I do give her a good washing the paint looks fine...no scratches etc. Perhaps because she is a coupe I do not have the same worries you rag-top folks do.
Sacrilegious? Perhaps, but she is a daily driver and I would rather have her clean and slightly imperfect (and again...I see no discernible damage from the car wash...at all) , than slobbing about all full of road salt etc.
She is serving me well.

When I finished the basement I placed a hose bib with hot water next to the cold one. A little Y mixing and washing the car in the winter is a breeze... I have to plan a little, so at least there is enough sun out to dry the driveway before it frezes. Else, getting in and out of the garage becomes entertaining for the neighbors in a different way compared to watching me wash the car in the 30-40 degF...
