I wash mine in my normal 2 car garage and added a hose valve from my water heater 
My water heater is in a closet in my garage! Then a squeegee it out when im done. Same way i do it i nthe summer in the shade. I detail cars in my garage too

leave the car running so its a little warmer. rinse it off with the hose, but when your actually washing it with suds, use warm water from the inside faucet; it wont freeze on the car and it wont freeze your hands.
i usually wash my car once a week. and out of the many times i washed it last winter, only once did the water freeze on me. and i too am from NY

I wash all my vehicles throughout the winter (but I don't drive my camaro in the winter so she get her last washing in early december and then get puts under the cover) . You need have freeze proof faucets, so you don't have to shut them off in the winter. These faucets put the actual shut off valve inside your house, so the water can't freeze in the pipe.

I just get all bundled up, put on a heavy set of rubber gloves, get the coffee machine brewing and go to town. With the amount of salt and **** they use around fucked up Jersey when there's like .0003" of snow, I can't afford not to.

a touchless wash is when all the soaps and water is sprayed on your car and then its dried with a blower. nothing actually touches the car except soap and water.
and by the way, was your red ws6 at the bellmore car show tonight?
