Two methods for safely washing in the winter!

As many of you know our Ask A Pro section helps provide information and advice for detailers of all skill levels. This week Marc Harris from Auto Lavish and Ivan Rajic from LUSTR Auto Detailing published articles about their specific process for washing in the winter. Winter washes provide a unique challenge because of low temperatures and extremely filthy vehicles, but both articles outline how to wash safely in spite of these conditions. These articles have tons of high quality images and Marc's article includes a video as well. Please take a few minutes to learn something new today!

How To Safely Wash Your Car In The Winter from Marc Harris (Auto Lavish)



Winter Washing With Optimum No Rinse (ONR) from Ivan Rajic (LUSTR Auto Detailing).



Through Feb 11th we have most of the products used in these articles discounted in our Winter Wash Sale! As always if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Happy Detailing!

hey, i have a black obsidian g37xs coupe and live in nj/ma. the car is parked in a garage when i dont use it but just from driving on the streets my car is more white than it is black now. i dont have any of the props needed to clean the car. how much would it be to get everything needed for the ONR wash (buckets, towels and so forth...) assuming that the ONR wash is what im looking for (washing in the winter/freezing temperatures and not sure i can get a hold of a water rinse...)
let me know, thanks a lot.

I believe the packages are already discounted so the extra discounts don't apply.

Sorry for the slow response, our best deal will be in our DI Packages section as WeisG35 stated. Unfortunately our discount to save 10 % off (10offg37) will not apply to the DI Packages, sale items and tools. Here are two kits I recommend as well:
DI Packages Basic Hose Free Wash Package with ONR
DI Packages Complete Hose Free Wash Package with ONR

Let me know if you have any other questions.
