That would put me off too, Gav

Did my B in -1 last year, the drive was covered in ice for days but it was alright

Doing the C every other week now, it'll get dirty again when I go to work anyway

I do mine at work, wash it out side and drive it inside where its warm to dry it off

Washed it friday, i did about 12 miles and it was blathered again though. Ah well.

I washed mine on Friday and I am not going to be attempting that in this weather again that's for sure. It looked better but not by much! Now after driving it for 2 days you can't even see the numberplate thanks to all the grit on the roads now, I'm annoyed because I didn't have much wax on it as the weather was always shit whenever I got a day free to spend cleaning it properly. Only got 2 layers on!
