Not to worry; it it's too cold to wash, it's too cold to rust (you need salt and wet and warm and air to get rust) and if it's warm enough to rust, it's warm enough to wash, so go to it!

Besides, modern cars, including our xBs (I HOPE!), are pretty much totally rust resistant . . . .

Good point! I just spent 2 hours today to wash my xB. It has been two weeks since I got it. This is the first time I wash it.

SHINING AGAIN!

Still looks better when clean, obviously. I know i hate driving a car full of sand and dirt, makes me and my box feel uncomfortable.

Rockin' the steelies.

Just patiently awaiting spring to put the rims back on and be able to clean her more than once every couple of weeks or so .
