What is your coldest truck wash?
Ok . . . out washing my truck this morning in 40 degree weather with 15 mph winds and as my fingers started going numb, I started thinking if I had ever washed my truck in colder weather. I remember one other time when it was in the mid-30's when I washed it.
I know I have to have a clean truck, and figure there are some of you out there worse then me, or at least in a colder climate. I was just curious how crazy some of you guys are. . .

I usta wash the Co truck every day with a bucked of warm soapy water, with some deorosene added in below freezing weather. Used a long handled bursh, then rinsed with warm water and wiped with a turkish towel that was run out in warm water with kerosene added. Gives a nice shine to it.

Thanks. Sorry, . . .nothing against them, but I'm not a farmer (obviously). Guess I didn't see many carharts when I grew up in Detroit. I'll check them out on the web .. . I might need a pair

I wash my truck everyday no kidding and have done it in below 15 I have to get home to my garage so the ice will melt off it.
Carhartt is good stuff also check out Filson there tin cloth line is the tuffest stuff I have ever seen I use it when I ride chaps and all, you can also get wool liners in them very very warm. This stuff was developed for loggers back when they starting logging.
