No - I am ashamed to say that we aren't in the habit of washing the cars in the winter here in VT. At a certain point in November, the garden hoses freeze up and we bring them in to the barn. Our little town has one drive through car wash that is actually too small for our Sequoia when I have the roof rack on it. Since it isn't convenient to wash it - it is really easy to forget about that. But I do understand that it has meant a lot of problems underneath.
