Winters Coming

[G14RRV]

What you gonna do to protect?

I'm taking my car into my workshop tomorrow

snow foam car ( let sit for 10mins, then refoam )
jet wash off, get most of the junk off
stripping existing wax/supaguard using good old g101 and some panel wipe for those pesky tar spots
g101 wheel arches
hand wash
dry off
(possibly clay if i have time )
2 coats of Collinite 476s
Supaguard alloy's ( had some leftover from my welcome back from BMW )
Full Interior hoover
Clean leather with Astonish then use somemore leftover Supaguard Leather protector

Hopefully looking good and nicely protected until Feb

Wash, polish, wax... But then mine will get the treatment at least once through the winter months too. Nothing special TBH. Mine needs a Hoover too though

The only real 'protection' I do will be to change the wheels when the temperature drops enough to get my winter rubber on. Daisy's cleaned and waxed once or twice beforehand, 108s off, washed, de-tarred, waxed and in the garage tucked up for winter. Sadly, I will probably wax them twice again over the winter just because I miss seeing them

Edit - should have said, polished/glazed with Poorboys Black Hole, waxed with Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro

I was thinking of getting a set of winter boots but don't know whats best

if snow gets bad here in scotland it will prob just sit at the back of the driveway and i'll drive a Ford Connect

Mine is wearing 2 coats of FinishKare 1000p over Prima Amigo glaze on the bodywork, I'm getting my 108's refurbed at the end of the month (monies permitting lol) and ill give those a coat or 2 of 1000p too

No extra treatment on the bodywork as its already protected well. Its been steam cleaned underneath, and any component or part i feel would suffer from salt's increased corrosive property has been sealed.
