I was thinking about taking tomorrow to detail but my work load is too heavy to do it and be the responsible boss that I am.
But, I have done this before and frankly done so because a true detail job (including clay and multi layers of wax) takes several days.

So do it before it gets to cold back there.

I've been away at school the past 4 years with my car in the garage so this hasn't been a problem before, but how do I go abaout washing and detailing when the hose is frozen over?

NFRs2000NYC, you mentioned having a bucket of warm water. This would work fine for scrubbing, but what about pre and post rinsing?

keep the hose inside.. bring it out and connect to the faucet only when you need it

Busted. I was actually installing my CD changer in the secret compartment when that photo was taken, but I swear, I detail my car in the winter as well.

Usually, I have to use a bucket of warm water, because the hose is iced over.

I just have to be careful....cant have the water anything past 55-65 degrees..or else you can shatter your windows.
As long as my outside hose isn't frozen solid, I'll be out detailing the car everytime it needs it...which is about every 2 weeks
