As super-bowl weekend approaches comes my annual winter detailing (reapplication of sealant, wax once a month in OH winters). This year is by far a colder forecast than years before. I have a pole building of great size and awesome wood heat to use for the event but have no water to wash the truck in (2010 3500 RAM DRW). Trying to plan this accordingly with weather predictions with temps. Saturday probably run to auto wash through 10 bucks in the machine to blow off all major debris; e.g. salt formations. Saturday after returning hopefully bucket wash (Water is up at house 200 yards up drive) as fast as possible while truck is warm after sitting in the barn for a while, my guess for a time frame in sub freezing temps of a 68*F truck would be roughly 1/2 hr. My question is how do you guys/gals manage your time while working in a frigid temp outdoors? I've done it many times and like my process, but wondering how you guys do it without "possibly" hurting/damaging paint?
