[QUOTE="acbill, post: 30020, member: 11655"] I would simply wait till temps increase. I never wash a vehicle of any kind when it's below zero temps, You introduce water to all sorts of places that could freeze and cause issues. Before retiring I worked at a car dealership, and all sorts of issues came from that. Frozen power windows and power door locks causing damage when operated, door seals torn off, lock cylinders frozen. Power antennas jamming up the cable, etc... Road salt wont cause much problem when temps are blow freezing anyways, so just wash it when it warms up, (or immediately park it in a heated garage). [/QUOTE]
