I know it's the beginning of summer and winter should be the furthest thing from my mind, but I'm looking to order some more stuff online and I was wondering about how I'm going to wash my car this winter.



I'm in Ottawa, so it's cold. I don't have access to a heated garage or anything similar. Would the Optimum no rinse work well on a car that has a lot of dirt and salt on it? If not, what do you guys use to wash your car in the winter?
 
Hey Squimper,



I'm also in Ottawa and I use Optimum No Rinse or QEW all winter long. If my car is really covered in salt etc I'll stop at one of those do it yourself washbays and just rinse the crap off, and then I'll use the No Rinse with the two bucket system (might have to replace the water a couple of times if the car is still pretty dirty). I've been doing this for a few years now and haven't experienced any marring or scratches.
 
Just read Paul's article, it's brilliant. I hope it gets bumped up come winter-time. Now that I have a car worthy of detailed attention, this Autopia site has been a god-send....
 
Wow thanks for all the tips guys, I'll check out that link.



And yes, I got my first order from eShine yesterday and plan to place another order with them soon. They've been very easy to deal with. In all honesty, they've been the easiest online shopping I've ever done. I've said it in another thread, but I'm very impressed with the service I got from Chris at eShine.



Glad to have a Canadian store to support and at the same time, it's cheaper and easier for me to buy!
