sounds to me that you need a better battery that can handle the colder weather..

my recomendation, when u clean the car like that disconnect the battery. with the doors open for a long period of time, ur dome light drains power. also u might want to get ur charging system check out if the two previous times were recent. remember, don't settle 4 stock batery, get the one with the most CCA's u can fit

Yeah, cold weather is just harsh on batteries and like Pinoy says, you have to be careful of leaving stuff on in your car while cleaning and more Cold Cranking Amps rating on a battery definitely helps on startups. If this is a pretty common problem for you, I also recommend you get the best battery there is at the local autoparts store and ask them about the warranty. Usually the better (well more expensive) batteries, come with longer warranties that give you something like 2 years free replacement (shop around).
