GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

hey guys,I've lived in michigan for 16 years now. The weather has been an issue for everything. Well, long question short, how do people wash their cars in the winter? I try to wash mine once a week. Especially since the salt gets on and under my car. I also was wonderin, do all of you manual wash or auto wash your cars. I auto washed my car last year with my old car during the winter and the brushes scratched up both sides of my car. It was horrible. Now that I have the Vibe, I don't do anything but manual wash. I don't trust auto washes anymore.Inder SinghP.S. I tried to call the cops on the place where I got my old car washed, they said that they weren't responsible because it was my chioce to go through the auto wash. Hey sorry bout the topic title also. I didn't realize it till after cuz I thought there was something wrong witht the forums, but it was my settings. Sorry for the inconvience.

I used to wash every weekend but that's when I used to work at a detail shop....now, it's whenever I can get it into a garage for the night..Damn, I hate apartments.

I thought that the title was messed up, guess not. O well. Inder Singh

Well I've had my Vibe for a month now and finally got it washed on it's one month birthday. We had awful weather for a while but then the sun broke through this past week...so I was finally able to run to a car wash...the first time they didn't do a great job so I went back and now it's all spiffy and clean. I wanted to wash it by hand myself but it's still to cold out to do such a thing. So for now it was a Super Kiss touchless car wash until the spring.

I wash my car when ever I find time....Usually once every two weeks in the winter.

I tend to go for every couple weeks in the winter.I either do it by hand in this heated garage with a hose in it my dad has, or I take it to a BRUSHLESS car-wash. Nothing but water jets for my baby

You don't have one of these touchless car wash systems in your area? In winter, they are very helpful but a bit expensive... However, they don't scratch cars. We find them often in Esso and Ultramar in Québec.More info on this company there: http://www.pdqinc.com/

I wash mine once a week in the winter. luckily i have a heated garage at work. in the summer i try to wash once a week. if not i dust it with a car duster every other day. keeps it shinin'.
