It's a little more difficult to wash the car here in the winter. I just got done with my truck yesterday and the Forte gets a bath today. I think the Forte may come clean at the self serve car wash. If not, it will need the same treatment as the truck... sprayed down with water at the self serve wash and then brought home for a rinse with Optimum No Rinse. Basically, two washes... but both are very easy. Prior to winter I strip the paint down and apply a synthetic sealant. I then top that with a hard carnbuba wax (in my case, Mequiars M16 or Collinite). This does a good job of lasting through the winter. This allows me to rinse off the vehicle pretty much with just water during the winter time.
