^^LOL

 

...and i am in awe that you would even consider taking on such a manly task, you know, with a uterus and all.

In truth, I hardly consider it 'manly'. Merely an observation of how soft kids are today.

 

Well thanks for the observation and for being of absolutely no help. Now run along and go fuck yourself.

 

fortunately my hot water heater is in my garage so I hook my hose up to the water heater. I use that to rinse the truck and fill the bucket. I don't use rubber gloves, I just keep my hands in the bucket when they get cold.

or I go to the drive thru touchless car wash if it's open.

 

I didn't see it mentioned, but diving gloves would keep your hands warm. I've never used mine for washing the car, but diving in frigid waters I don't get cold hands.

 

Thanks John, I ordered a set this morning.

 

I use a brush like the one pictured below. I never have to touch the water. I use a small brush for the wheels and tires.

 

If you could would you post up a review after you use them a couple of times? I might invest is a pair myself. I installed a water outlet in the garage a few years back and keep a hose connected all year.

 

Will do. I was also in Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday and they had a fleece lined, neoprene set of gloves that went almost to the elbow. they might work as well.

 

No problem!
Actually thank you, I have not washed my car before because it was too cold, it wasn't until I saw your thread that I even thougt of it. They were under my nose the whole time.

 

Dont know why I just read this thread cause its like 80* here but im glad I dont have to deal with what you guys do. Feel free though to send the cold and snow if you get to much to handle and good luck keeping the tacos clean.

 

use a bucket full of hot water and a pole brush,keeps the hands dry

 

Just today..I ran mine through the touch-less car wash. After I got home...I got the water hose...sprayed under carriage and whole truck. Pulled it in my heated garage and with two micro-fib towels dried her off.....
Got it nice and clean for the snow we are suppose to get on Christmas..

 

I use a wetsuit glove. Works great, and super warm...

 

Same here... i usualy just high pressure spray it off. Soppost to warm up to the higher 40's this weekend so i might hand wash it!

 

Did you get your diving gloves yet John?

 

I got paddling gloves. 2mm neoprene. I keep forgetting to take pictures of them. They should work nicely.

 

Still no pics, but I got these NRS Maverick paddling gloves. Cheaper neoprene form the sporting goods store would have worked nicely, but the wife got these form. me for Christmas. Haven't tried them yet, it is raining here this weekend, no sense washing anything.
