Have you washed winter off of your S yet?
I haven't, but I'm going to this weekend. My S wasn't out all that much and really didn't get very dirty, but still, it neededs it first bath of the spring.
Are you doing anything special because of the past winter, or just the usual wash?

My little car has been getting regular washs all winter. But then, I don't have a garage queen.

Yes, I've washed mine a couple of times already. To look good for the events I've already been to. Need to prepare for SF, though.

Mine was a daily driver all winter, and I think she weathered it well. I used a DIY car wash a couple of times to get some of the salt off, but she got her first real bath a week and a half ago. I didn't go the full detail route as it was still a bit too cool for Zaino, but I did get all of the nooks and crannies, including the wheel wells, on the outside along with the door jambs and under the hood/trunk/fuel filler areas. The interior got a wipedown along with the windows, but no vaccuum yet.
Boy, does she ever sparkle!!! I am quite happy with how the Zaino that was applied last fall held up over the winter.
I plan to do a full cleaning of the wheel well areas this weekend when I swap out the winter tires for the summer ones, along with the full fluid change.

I've had to wash SPRING off of it several times already!
Yellow pollen on a Suzuka makes kind of a ghastly blue-green S.

I have washed mine 3 times already. 1 st wash not so good, 2nd wash stripped the old wax off and applied p21s carnuba, 3rd wash was a good one.
The p21s carnuba is some really good wax. I couldn't believe how easily the bugs came off the front bumper. The water beaded up really nicely too, better than McGuyiers.
I still have to clean out the inside really good and vaccumn but the car looks real good from the outside.

No, but then winter did not get on mine.
I will probably be washing it this weekend and once it warms up a little more...the full Zaino treatment.
BTW, vmoul - I tried s100 (basically the same as p21s), I liked it and have sandwiched it between Zaino.
