I live in Massachusetts, and we have had a long month of TERRIBLE weather, to say the least. Is there anything I can do to keep the outside somewhat clean in this cold weather, or am I going to have to wait until warmer weather?

 

I'm in RI...unless u have a heated garage with a drain, Nope!

 

Are you in a garage or parked outside?

If you're in a garage, go with optimum no rinse to clean the car. Won't help with the underside that's coated in salt but you'll keep the salt off the paint.

 

Not so say you couldn't do ONR outside, but it's just so cold for that right now....

 

Not drive?
I would NOT suggest a carwash unless you park in a heated garage....
The high pressure water gets into places that can freeze and cause issues unless your car is parked in a heated place overnight after a carwash.....

 

P.S.
EXTREME COLD is OK with salt...it is too cold for the moisture/saltwater to damage your car ....
It is when it is near freezing the salt brine is HIGHLY corrosive ....

 

Okay well I started to get a shake from my front wheels a few days ago, going at speeds 65+. So I took my mini to a heated car wash and got all the gunk out from inside the wheel wells and showered the car for a minute or two to get the salt off.

It removed the shake from the wheels which is great! However, my car is just as dirty looking again :/

 

. Annoying but common winter problem. Snow build up on the inside of the rims, throws your rim balance off until you wash the snow and ice off the rims...
Come onnnn Spring....

 

I agree for now you can't do anything but wait.

 

Sad part is pollen season is just around the corner...but at least it'll be warm when washing the car.
