Default Car is now fully winter prepped!

Started the day with a good ONR wash in the heated garage. I then put the final coat of Klasse sealant on. I believe I am up to 5 coats now! Winter tires are on and the front lip came off. Lastly rust proofing oil was sprayed in all required places and my special thick caramel like substance put on all the bolts in the engine and major suspension components. The car is shining and ready and ready for the worst that a Canadian winter has to throw at it!

...Thanks for the replies guys!!! I don't post that much on this forum however definitely have a huge interest in detailing and keeping the car flawless.


For those interested in the procedure that I follow religiously:

Every spring after the long harsh winter I polish the car to touch up the extremely light imperfections that are created throughout the year (especially the winter).

Steps:
-Blue clay magic and/or Green Sonus Clay
-Makita Rotary
-Black Lake country CCS Pads
-Menzerna 85RD


Throughout the rest of the year I simply maintain with very careful wash techniques and the following:
-Foam gun constantly applied while washing
-boars hair brush
-sheepskin mits
-dual buckets grit guarded
-Optimum Normal soap
-Lusso Oro (summer)
-Klasse twins (winter)


With the above steps the car stays pretty much completely swirl free and super shiny all year round keeping me very happy!


Few of the weapons in the arsenal and the results:
