The snowmobile sits on the trailer all winter with a cover on it because we go about every weekend. Plus the fourwheeler usually sits out all winter as well with the blade attached. And it was 5 degrees the past two mornings so I could move the freezer outside. So technically I could squeeze the truck into the garage, but I'd have to crawl underneath it, go through the doors, or dukes of hazard it across the hood cause' both bumpers would be touching the wall or door. And I agree, it looks like Jenna was ridden to hard a few to many times.... or it could just be all the plastic in her face
. Hopefully next summer I'll be quoting ThumperMX113 "I love having a big shop".

It's best to just get a good wax in before the freeze, and then in the spring a full detail.
In the winter wash downs at a local carwash with the high pressure sprayer to get the salt/sand off. I just went an hour ago and cleaned it up. Scrubbed it and finished it with their wax which works good between cleanings.
Not worth it to (hand)wax in the winter in a snowy region.
