Here in Central Ohio we fared much better this past weekend than did all of our friends up and down the East Coast. We barely had an inch of snow and I can't even say I had to shovel, more like just scooting the snow off of the driveway.
For the past week our roads have been the typical sloppy, slushy, dirty that most of us deal with all Winter. My wife's car which we commute in every day was the dirtiest it's ever been in the short month that she's owned it. The wheels were so black with dirt and salt that you could barely differentiate the wheels from the tires. I put up with it all last week while our temperatures barely made it out of the single digits but tonight on the way home from work I noticed the temperature was a balmy 44 degrees.
I knew I would lose the last of the daylight fairly quickly but I decided to go ahead and give the car a quick detail. I envy all those who have weatherproof faucets/hoses inside their garages but I went ahead and dug a hose out of storage and reconnected it to the outside faucet.
I'm sure my neighbors thought I'd finally gone round the bend but I didn't care. I happily cleaned the wheels and tires first before moving on to wash the rest of the vehicle, thank goodness for my Adam's bucket and grit guard.
I'm sure the temperature dipped into the upper 30s once the sun went down but it felt fairly pleasant outside. I quickly pulled it back into the garage and hit it with another coat of Gloss & Guard, what an awesome product! I then used various microfiber cloths to dry the rest of the vehicle before applying the tire shine, cleaning the windows and hitting the interior with the interior detailer.
Here's a few quick pics of the finished results (hard to get a decent shot inside the garage). Hopefully soon I'll find time to give me Ridgeline some love.
After all this rambling my question is, how cold is too cold for you to indulge your sickness? I guess my limit would be anything below freezing.
