| Can't be bothered to do mine. Too cold and fed up with everything going wrong at the minute, so mine looks a little neglected at the moment.

I was cleaning mine two weeks ago as the light went. Waxing under security lights is surreal.........all that crouching to see if you've left any marks/mised a spot...........

 I've washed the car many times when the water just freezes as it hits the metal. Best though is when it freezes on the floor too and you slide from one end of the car to the other. One of the neighbours even had a go at me in case she slipped and needed another new hip. Ross, you are indeed in good company

| When I was based in W Berlin I used to wash my car outside with hot water when the temperature was way below zero. I was fortunate however in that my garage had central heating pipes under the floor which piped hot water around all the accommodation and offices on the base.
