Default Detailing in the Winter?

I was wondering where you guys detail in the winter time? A lot of the times when I see pictures it is at your house, and was curious do you guys have heated garages for the winter? Or do you know someone that lets you rent in the winter time? I live in NY and I couldn't imagine doing a 2 hour detail job let a lone a 12 hour detail in below freezing weather.

hi. as a person living in NY too like you, it's hard, especially if you don't have a garage... and if you live around the city, you probably park your car on the street. what i used to do is fill my two buckets with hot water for wash and use ONR, a very worthy product and wash my car on the streets. passers by always look and stare at me weird. lol

Detailing in the winter sucks. Period

My garage isnt heated but I have heaters in there. It still isnt very pleasant to do, and to me I lose that good feeling, I just want to get it done when it's -20 in my garage.

Abd that is an invitation, you just have to detail my car or give tips haha

I would say you could bring your detailing stuff with you, but I think you might not pass the 3 bottles of 3 ounces on the plane.

what type of heaters do you use ? at football tailgates i see ppl hook some type of heater to propane tanks, low cost solution but wouldn't think its safe for an indoor garage.
