The point to not washing your car in winter

My car has basically been white for the last month.. Its so sad to look at. But today since it was like 40, there must have been incredible humidity or somthing, because I walk out today and see the metallic green just glowing in the sun. I realized keeping your car dirty makes you appreciate when it looks clean as hell hahha..

Now I just want spring more .. Its supposed to be warm this week though, so Ill be out cruising in the 40s, and give the car a much needed bath when I go home this week

well down in the valley area we dont get to much snow so I think salt is only used in the mountain area, and I pretty much didnt drive alot, and when I did it was once to go to the store b4 they sanded the roads, man that was a biitch to get traction, I think they have a non harmfull salt replacement they use to de-ice the roads, but as far as I know it was sand, and the snow didnt melt it just turned muddy w/ Ice...helped a little bit. after the snow melted, the sand on the road make traction bad lol, I was making a left and my rear end slid a little bit to the right...My dad was in the car with me, I was like oops, it was the sand, and he agreed...lol
