My heated garage has been the best thing since sliced bread. It gives me an opportunity to wash my car in comfort in the dead of winter.

I only use the garage heater when I am working on the cars or washing them since the salt will do more damage when exposed to above freezing temperatures. I believe this is what need2speed was referring to.

I also rigged up a way to run my garden hose up to my stationary tub in my basement to allow me to wash my car with warm water.

When I am done I rinse the salt debris out of the garage floor otherwise it will eat at the concrete.
