Sometimes they have the car wash entrance blocked off because of the cold temperatures. Then what?
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

We had a ice storm a few days ago. Sun was out yesterday, so I was putzing in my workshop, every so often I went out moved my 3 trucks around outside so the 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice would melt off in the sun. Then this week on a above freezing day, I can wash the salt off. Wish I could have all the carwash money I spent in a pile.....
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Most car washes recycle their water. This time of year you end up washing with salt water. Some do, I don't think most. I've heard of it but don't know of any in my area that do.

No salt needed.
Leave a little earlier so that you can drive slower when road conditions are bad due to winter weather. Ticket people who are driving to fast for road conditions, if you see someone in the ditch or median don’t pull them out, if they have to call a tow truck they’ll learn to slow down whe the roads are slick.

Come spring …..put the fluid film to the under carriage
