Very low impact on the environment this way and the garage with a space heater suffices in the cold months.

I was wondering how I was going to do this in the winter? Space heater is the answer. Thanks

Make sure a plug in space heater isn't on the floor when you're pouring those buckets!!!

just turn the car sideways and run it through the car wash.
I use a quarter car wash or wash it by hand.

I just washed my car and it was 21 degrees outside. Just keep up with drying...with a low dew point and cold temperatures the water will either evaporate or freeze quickly. The key is to wipe down as much as possible in a heated garage (at a self wash station) then go outside and wipe down the door jams and other droplets.
