Is there a bad time to wash my car in the winter?

You should try to avoid going through a car wash when the temperature is below freezing. If you do, parts of your vehicle like the door locks and handles may freeze, which can cause issues. Using a clean towel to wipe down your vehicle can help if there is a long streak of cold days. If you do go through a car wash, use the soft-touch and bring a towel along to dry the vehicle completely to help keep it from freezing.
