I wash mine every week regardless of the temperature. Either at my parent's house when it's warm (No where to do at the apartments I live at). Or I just go to the shop on the weekends and use our washbay there. Regardless it always get hand washed.

The Monte gets washed no matter what the weather...
Just like BUDSJLM...My oil change shop has a free carwash with your oil change.

But when the snow flies and the salts out...once a week it gets a really good wash at the local automatic carwash....That also does the underneath
really well! and it also goes right into the garage. That way when I need to use it or the MRS takes it to work...The doors wont get frozen shut! LOL...Next meet and greet...Take a look underneath mine...you can tell it makes a huge diffference!

Since I cant physically wash it by hand anymore...as much as I dont like drive thru automatic car washes....I still try to keep it as clean as possible..No matter what the weather!

I used to easy mine every two weeks in the winter and every week I will run water over it in the summer to get the pollen off. I never use the drive through washers, they don't clean it well enough. Even when I dont have the time, I will wait till I have the time. A little cold does not bother me. The only problem is when I wash mine, that is when everyone wants their car washed! LOL

I live in Seattle, don't have a garage and my Monte is a DD. Does that answer your question?

When the winter comes, I frequently visit do-it-yourself car washes to get a nice spray on the car, then I come home and use a no-rinse car wash.

I think everyone should look at this awesome deal to get started with no rinse: Pinnacle Liquid Gloss Rinseless Wash Two Bucket Wash System

Wow im surprised at how many of you still was your car even when its freezing! I thought i was the only crazy one LOL . I always wash any of the cars i have owned by hand. Ive tried the power washers, and drive through washers but the car never comes out as clean as i want it to be As much as i would love some snow, i also love to see my car clean :p
