How to wash your car in the freezing cold???

So the tittle says it all. Im dealing with 20 degree weather and the car has become absolutly disgusting from collecting so much dust in the garage. Cant and wont take car through any sort of car wash. I curious to know if there is a best way of washing the car or if I just have to man up and wash it in the freezing cold, or just wait till it warms up. Any advise would be great.

Optimum (OPT) No Rinse Wash & Shine New Formula (ONR) is a life saver in the winter. It's also great in the extreme heat when you want to wash in a garage or for those living in apartments without hose access. We have a section of our Detailing Guide just for this type of product (Washing and Drying Auto Detailing Guide - Detailed Image). We have two washing kits with the ONR is interested:
DI Packages Complete Hose Free Wash Package with ONR
DI Packages Basic Hose Free Wash Package with ONR

I also recommend washing with a rubber glove on to keep the water off your bare hand, it makes a huge difference. Let me know if you have any questions about the products or the process I'd be happy to help.

I just use hot water from my tub to fill my buckets. As long as my hands arent being soaked with cold water, then the cold weather doesnt really bother me.
