    Take it to a car wash and pressure spray down. Not a drive-thru brushless type thing. Sometimes, I'll take a wash mitt in one hand and give it a wipe while holding the spray gun in other hand. Gotta spray the mitt too to rinse off the dirt, so it doesn't act like sandpaper. Water pressure alone will not clean it entirely. My expectations are lower in the winter. I don't even dry. I wait for it to freeze a bit, then as soon as I get home, I activate all the windows to crack the ice. Open/close all doors, again, to break the seal. No need to get all neurotic to dry. I hate people that take up a wash bay to dry while others are waiting. If that routine is good enough for Canadian prairies, then it's good enough for nearly anybody.

    Don't you at least squeegee off the water so the entire car isn't ice?

    Nope. I have an insulated (but unheated) garage. Either that or sublimation, keeps the car generally ice free. A little bit of ice doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't interfere with doors or visibility.

    I would have to bring mine to a local car wash. After using the pressure washer and my wash mit I would have to manually dry it. In my case maybe it's better to run it through the touch less wash during winter?

    Me neither, especially since mine are silver. I wish they were black.
