Well it was a beautiful day here in the NY Tri State area and i spent the entire afternoon detailing the ride and prepared it for the winter months !! A wash , a few coats of polish/wax and the obligatory tire shine !! Thanks for peeking !

Very nice! It's a shame to think of how it will look in few months after snow and salt season arrives. I'm dreading winter already. I put my garage queen in storage a few days ago and have also prepped my daily driver for the onslaught.

Yes, I'm dreading the onslaught as well. It's very hard getting up in the morning to 53° and leaving the office when it's 72°, so I feel your pain. (I used to live in MI, so I can actually sympathize, FYI...)

Thank you Hoovey

well over the winter i try to use the ONR mixed with Poorboy's Spray & Gloss which works well ! I try not to use the automated car wash by me but sometimes during the winter its just one huuge mess

Oh i did do it that way. My bad ..... i was just listing the products used and wasn't cognizant to the order of use

I have been using a Laser touch-less wash in the winter and have not had any marring or damage to the paint. I don't have a heated garage and it gets pretty cold here in WI. Too cold to wash even with rinse-less products at least for me. Besides I don't trust Rinseless and Waterless washes safety on cars that are covered with salt and sand grime from driving the freeways in our winters.

I seal the car and top with a coat of Meg's #16 before winter weather sets in and then when it gets cold and snowy I run the car through the Touch-less every week to get all the salt and crud off. I take it home and do a wipe own with a QD and then apply a mist-on-wipe off wax. Car comes out of winter still beading water, feeling slick and looking clean.

FWIW, talk to the car wash owner about a season pass. It'll save you a lot of money. I bought a pack of 16 wash codes for $50 last year. These were the codes for the deluxe wash which included the undercarriage rinse and regular price was $8.00 each.
