Default Winter Detail Done!!!

Just snowfoamed, washed,rinsed then dried. Clay bar all round below the wing mirrors. Glass polished. Autoglym Super resin polish And Collinite LE Wax All over.Tyres dressed with Meguirs endurance tyre Gel. However i was out off alloy wheel cleaned and did not come up to well .

Got to a bit of a dead end with the wax as it got to cold and it was icing over. Otherwise it went quite well.

Really worth getting the car up on jacks and power washing the underneath. I did it again today only 10 days after i last done it. The amount of **** that get's in is incredible. i lay flat underneath the car with a shorter Washer gun. Keeps the rust away

I know i can do better but you know what its like in the cold.

Mate, you're only supposed to snow foam the car!...

Looks great. I know exactly how cold it can get up there!

I was bored and it's my day off :P

Was about -2 while i was working on the car. Last of the sun kept the car warm enough to polish. Will properly wax it again when it's inside and warm

Looking at the background you overdid the snow foam

Looks clean

Quite a fine day really in the sun. Minus 10 outside now. Still battle threw the ice and 2 -3 inches snow to work is easy done...When it get's to 3 feet you get a little worried.

Car was hand washed after snow foaming. Only leave it on for 15 minutes max. and concentrate a lot round the arches and suspension. Mainly high impact areas

Some great photo opportunity's to be had around mine,Will be getting a full detail when the annual 1 week lock in at home due to snow arrives.
