    No as it will wash the salt off the drive lol! - but will take it round to the jet wash monday after work which is under cover so protected from the ice, just to jet the sale from under the arches...

    I dont want it going like my 600 started to

    yeah, although i want to clean it the weather is telling me know, but as long as the salt is washed off the car, should be good. good clean, polish and wax come some sunshine, weather it will be this month is another thing.

    Yeah its bugging me to wash the car looking all white and horrible. Had to give the truck a "dirty" wash yesterday when I got back, bucket of hot water to brush the salt off and another bucket of hot water to swill off.....looks crap but least I can see out my windows and not have salt all over my hands when opening the door

    Got at least 3 inches of solid ice here - not risking adding any more water to that - we're expecting up to another 6 inches of snow here tonight
