We get that cold here, too.
So what if car washes aren’t open with windchill of -40? I don’t wash vehicles in such conditions.
I answered your question with a common sense rule. You threw in an irrelevant factoid that ignores the answer.
You just argue for the sake of arguing.
You just keep on washing your vehicle by hand in any weather I’ll pay to get my vehicle washed at a car wash and stay warm in the car at the same time see ya. And if you can’t figure out how to wash the salt off your vehicle in the winter i feel sorry for ya.
I grew up in New England and often visited VT. Hard to believe it NEVER gets to 40 degrees in winter there. But yes, there may be only a few of them.
You don't need 40 degrees.
A nice sunny, bright day in Feb in the mid 20's still has a strong enough sun to warm things up and melt snow. I used to wait for days like this to wash my car back when I would hand wash them. Sun this time of year is getting higher in the sky and much stronger.
Now I don't care. I through my daily driver through the automatic car wash and leave my nice toy car in the garage from Nov to April.

That is not what I wrote. Typical tactic from you, twisting my words into something else.
I hand wash it in warm seasons and use a self-service car wash in winter on milder days. I don’t use the automated car washes, ever. They do an inferior job. Go ahead and keep your inferior automatic wash just to sit and avoid the cold weather, your choice—not mine. I guess cold winters are too tough on you.

Sure it does. "January thaw" happens pretty much every year. The rain washed all the salt off my car at Killington on Thursday.
The problem in Vermont is that when it warms up and the car washes are running, there are salty puddles from the snow melt everywhere. You're going to have salt on your car again by the time you get it back home.

EckyX claimed VT never gets to 40 degrees in winter.
I agree about the salty messes. Salty AND muddy messes are even worse if the mud is the clayey kind. Hard to wash off, yet salt is in the mix so it has gotta go.

Cold winter is nothing on me at all I’m 63 yrs old and love winter. I use to work outside towing vehicles with the old sling tow trucks were i had to lay in the snow and slush and hook up the vehicle to be towed. I’ve slept outside in a tent in -10 below weather. I’ve had to shovel snow by hand even when it was over a foot deep before snowblowers we’re even available for the average person. And we’re my car gets washed they do an excellent job, maybe were you live they are not as good. So good luck to you and keep on wash and a shine on the baby of yours.

I’m almost as old as you and still shovel by hand, and it isn’t a little suburban driveway, either. Your handshoveling ONE foot of snow is commendable. Now try 4’ of it, which I have done a few times.
Next you’re gonna say you walked 20 miles in a blizzard while carrying a winch on your back. Have at it. That exercise must make you tough enough to wash your car, alright.
