Where and how to wash your F in the winter???

I love Griot's and will be trying this out shortly. Anyone here used it? I've done small sections with success. They have a video online washing a Ferrari indoors. The key is lots of micro-fiber towels.

I just man up and wash it outside. I then move it into the garage when I got to dry it and if it needs a new coat of wax ill put one on, if it needs to be polished i do that indoors.

Well I have an old Volvo 850 I drive in the winter in snow and rain but had to drive my F around in the week long rain storm we had here a few weeks ago because the plates expired on the 850. It was freezing out and it sucked but I just brought it to a self-wash with the wand, drove it back to the garage and used the detail spray and spray wax. Couldn't really feel my hands after but the car was clean! Normally she gets dusty though so I'll use some Meguiars ultimate wash and wax and microfibers to get the dust off.
In the summer I take it out back to the car wash station at my apt and hand wash

the brushes or the brushless car wash, yes i cringe everytime i go there. Sometimes i do a hand car wash when i have 30 to spend. No other way to do it when living in 16 degree and snowy weather :/

Please be sure about the "dont laser car wash it ...that thing just removes all the wax ur car has and drys out any rubber moldings" things because this is my only option. Its 9-15 degrees here where Im at for the last month.

yep i do this as well when the temperatures are too cold for my hands. prespray is very important . Both buckets with hot water, by the time it makes it out there, it's warm to touch

I use ONR all year round as well. If it's really dirty I'll pre-spray it with a diluted ONR mix then 2 bucket method ftw.
glad to see another ONR user.
