A bit of a sissy question I suppose, but I'm wondering what you guys in colder climes do as far as washing cars in cold weather goes.
I'm somewhat forced to wash the vehicles in the earyl morning or very late afternoon hours due to lack of shade.
In the winter months the water coming out of the faucet is pretty darned cold.
Is there an insulated glove available that's designed to be immersed?
It would help if there was.
I have mild arthritis in my hands and they can get pretty painful in cold water.
Yeah, I know, get the carport done, but that's gonna take a while.
And in the meantime I still need to wash the cars . . . especially the 32.
Drags next Sunday . . . would be nice to look good . . . or at least not look dirty....
I use hot water in a bucket for wash water, rinse off with cold water. My only suggestion on gloves would be some cotton gloves, inside a rubber glove, if you can find them big enough.
I also use very hot water from inside the house and rinse off with the nozzle on the hose. Not too bad.

second and the third glove that is down the page a bit... the third one my be harder to get on...
Ice fishing gloves would work well for that as would wet suit (diving) gloves, or paddling (kayak) gloves
I know this is not going to help but..................................wait till spring.
wash!?!?! :shock:
i've got 10 year old bugs on my coupe....
Yeh, cotton gloves inside rubber gloves help a lot. Especially if you wear cotton knit gloves instead of cotton twill.
