kl0wn Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 That's why you use hot water Nahh I thought the hot water would've been a good idea, but after I finished washing my ranger with it last year. I went out to town, walked around the mall for about 2 hours, and when I came back, the passenger door was completely frozen, couldn't unlock it at all. Key did nothing, trying to open from the inside did nothing, buttons did nothing. So my buddy had to climb through the window My car is dirty as hell right now, but I think ima wait for it to warm up some before I really clean it. I've been wiping it down every now-n-then, but definitely not washing it till it warms up haha.

Skullz Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I won't use a car wash that doesnt close atleast one of the doors to keep the damn wind from freezing you to death from water spray.

kl0wn Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 haha yea but its good to keep it clean and washed to get all of the contaminants off of your paint That's why I've been just wiping it down every now and then so it doesn't get horribly dirty for a long time. I cannot wait for it to get warm enough to really wash it!

Blackedout Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Optimum No rinse in the garage. Look into it. Really look into it, because you'll be skeptical at first. But I haven't read any reviews on it. Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not i use ducttape on the keyhole just when spraying so water doesnt get in then i take it off.
