Quote History Quoted:
If it's below freezing a lot of the do-it-yourself car wash places have to leave their line pressurized to prevent them from freezing. A lot of them use hot water, too.
It's not full blast but it's enough to take the salt off. If it's a wet day where there's a lot of spray from the road etc I'll stop in and wash the truck off on my way home. Doesn't work at all stations but it's a lot of em.
If it's near zero out, it doesn't work because the spray freezes and forms an ice layer. Which is kind of cool and somewhat protective.

I think it was last year, I went to a do it yourself car wash, washed my truck(it was like 20 degrees out). Turned my whole jeep into a block of ice. Froze the door handle solid. To get it open, I poured hot water from their keurig machine onto the door handle. Then it froze open
so the door wouldn't latch closed....
I drove home with solid ice on all of my windows, including the windshield, and had to hold my driver door closed with my left hand. It wasn't closed because it wasn't latched, I was just holding on to it
. I had about a 20 minute drive also.....oh and my jeep was manual transmission.
I like to challenge myself on a daily basis
