what do you guyz do to winterize ur rides paint ? here in ohio they use salt and it eats the s**t out of ur paint.

 

only thing i can imagine would be a nice wash then a nice wax have the salt settle on the wax....go for another wash..so on so forth

 

After proper preparation ( wash, GEPC ) I apply Klasse All-in -One and 2 coats of sealer which leaves a high gloss protective layer of acrylic. I then apply 3 coats of P21S premium wax 8-12 hours apart. I wash 1x a week as long as temperature above freezing and periodically use Sonus quick detailer. I try to get another coat of P21S on at least bi-monthly. I repeat whole process 2x a year. 2007 A6 black looks fabulous and is well protected against the elements.

do u do carwashes because i usually donttake my car through the carwash and i donthave a heated garage or ne where to wash my car

 

I also use the Klasse, but I use the Sealant. I will tray and get at least 3 coats of sealant.

Wash
Clay
Wash again
polish
Sealant

 

Zaino (zainostore.com) the Z-2 has really good durability.

Also, Collite 845 is pretty good stuff to.

Just make sure to use a clay bar first (Wal-mart sells the Meguiar's clay kit for like $15)

 

I haven't found a car wash I trust with my black car. I see the signs that they are hand wash but notice that they are using terry ( not microfiber) towels in a circular motion to dry the cars. I only wash the cars myself and the temperature has to be above freezing. One day I thought it was and the water on the car didn't freeze but the driveway did. I had to hold onto the car to keep from sliding in the driveway.

 

What polish do you use before Klasse sealant? I recommend using P21S after the sealant. I put on 3 coats with 8- 12 hours time for it to set in between.

 

do any of u guys use dp's waterless wash? is it any good?

 

I've been using Poorboys for about a year and a half.
