Last year I was thinking I needed a hot water wash too so I hooked the hose up to the drain on the hot water heater. Worked great!

I have not seen a self-service wash with hot water. I think those are rare or non-existant here. In Europe, almost all of them have warm/hot water in the winter and there are a lot more of them than in our area.

There's a self service car wash in garfield by the quick check and rose's pizza and that little shopping center (not too far from walmart). Theres like four garages that close from one side, are lightly heated, have warm water and after 9pm you can wash your car using your own stuff (rather than their foaming brush) only problem is that their water freezes when its super cold just like everywhere else.

I had to drive on sunday and my car is covered with little salt.
since i never took my car to car wash, i am probably gonna use touchless car wash or self service. i am not going to wash like i did in summer but just remove debris and salt grime on car so gonna just use high pressure water. anybody want to do car wash meet before storm hits this weekend? i probably gonna go to http://www.spotlessautolaundries.com after work.

I went there this morning. I picked the gold touchless wash that adds some type of 'clear coat'. I was not expecting much from this kind of services, but it actually did pretty decent for a 5 minute job. I did had my micro fiber towels for drying the car. I think i will be back for a quick rinse/wash whenever my car gets filthy with salt and/or its too much cold for me to wash.
