Default It's harder in cold weather to keep the car clean!

forget it. I either just didn't explain myself well enough or some people just wanna be smart asses this morning. No salt, snow or slush here, guess I picked the wrong time/place to get advice.

How could it possibly be hard to keep a car clean in cold weather?

I hear you. The roads are mostly clean and dry here now, but the 4 feet of ice and snow on the side of the roads melt during the day and make me swirve to avoid splash back on the car. I try hard for the first few days after I wash it, then say fuggitt and drive right through them.

Man, it must be hard to keep the salt and slush off the car driving it in the winter.

Whenever i plan to wash my car the weather man calls for rain the next day. The rain never comes. Then when he calls for a couple days of i sun i decide to wash my car and the next day we have an unexpected downpour. I hate the weather man hear. Im on week 7 of not washing my car.
