GR Yaris It's that time of year again... 😬

Was going to post it in the 'photos of the month' but that seems to have died.

Here's hoping I still have a Yaris come this spring!

Mines pretty bad up the sides from driving at the weekend but I don't want to jet wash it off then have an ice rink on the driveway, tomorrow might be very slightly warmer so might do it then

Yeah, I’ll give mine a rinse underneath at the end of the week when things warm up a little. Another year, another missed opportunity to build one of those wheeled sprinkler things that some people have created but the hose should do it.

I feel your pain @Duke. It was -20 degrees here last night so pretty impossible to even jet wash your car in that extreme cold. When I first moved here I was dumb enough to attempt it then the whole car was covered in a literal sheet of ice after. Now this might make people shudder who have a thing for detailing. But my only option in deep winter is an Automated car wash, but over here we have programs you can choose which turns the machine into just several passes with jet wash nozzles and no brushes. I always wax my car before the winter with Soft99 fuss coat to give it some protection from the harsh chemicals mind. They also have jet wash nozzles that travel under the car to wash salt off the bottom.

What is your summer maximum?

What is your summer maximum?

Summer is usually in the 20s, It does get into the low 30s occasionally.

I originally come from the UK where the weather is quite mild most of the time. Here it is a bit more extreme but I feel you get proper seasons here. Makes driving interesting!
