I have a 2 garage but although it's big, it sucks. It's not heated.

I try my best to use the Optimum No Rinse as a supplement to a warm-water 3bucket wash in the winter. Hand washing in the winter works the best, but I rarely have enough time to do this regularly.
I wouldn't call touchless garbage.
They aren't great compared to a good hand wash, but in between washes and in the winter, they keep the crud off until you can do a handwash.

I don't use them though. The manual sprayers are better, and with good gloves to keep your hands from freezing, you can get nearly all the winter road grime, grit, and salt off you car.

The icy floor is dangerous though!
USE CAUTION. Yes, I've experienced the slickness first hand...feet in the air, hard landing.
