Default Help Needed... Damn SALTZ...=.=

I got one little problem..
I don't have garage for my babyZ for this winter...
So I had to sit her out side of the parking lot..
And down here in Maryland.. it snowed a lil like 3 days ago... And I didnt wanna drive her because I didnt want all the salt to get on her.
So i sit her in a parking lot for a 2 days and today, after school I see this salts laying all over my baby!!!! and I was gonna spray water all over her ... but I was afraid the water gonna ice up.. What should I Do~~?~?~?

Take it to a car wash place that will wash it by hand. No drive thru crap. Unfortunately, not having a garage will require more of these types of washes.

If you are a man i would say get a bucket of warm watter and a sponge and alot of towels and go get your own hands dirty. If you arent willing to go through a little discomfort and bad weather for your car, then you deserve to be driving a Dodge Dart!!!!! No offense to the Dodge Dart owners out there (both of em)

Yup, I'd have to give same advice here.

I'm in NoVA, so I've been dealing with the snow and nasty salt/sand/chemicals they put down all over the roads around here. Last weekend, despite it being close to 5 degrees outside, I just followed Kas-Z's advice -- do it by hand!

I wanted to completely wash my baby though, and of course the pipes for my hose and nozzle were frozen. So I had to literally make about 5-6 trips inside and out with buckets of warm (not hot) water, and wash one area, then rinse off, go back inside, and repeat with the rest of the car. It took a little while, but it was well worth it afterwards. It's gonna be cold, so wear some gloves sweatshirts, whatever else you have.
