Winter Detailing Hints and Tips
With winter in full swing, we here at Detailed Image wanted to take the time to highlight some great ways to clean and protect your vehicle in the bitter winter weather. Whether its protecting your paint or cleaning off that winter grime, we really have some awesome articles to help you every step along the way.
First things first, protection is key. Hazardous winter conditions such as road salt, sand, snow, and ice can do a number on the paint. Zach McGovern of Attention to Detailing wrote a great article about protecting your car for the upcoming winter. If you already protected your car you can skip this section, if not this article is for you!

So there are Zach version 1 in Autogeek, Zach version 2 in DetailedImage, Zach version 3 in autopia and Zach version 4 on ClubLexus ?? No way the original Zach would not wash his car in a month!!! Show us the proof lol.
Btw, nice photo in your signature: nice angle, good contrast, adequate lighting, right exposure and perfect focus. Whoever took that photo for you knows some photography skills for sure. Mind sharing more of those cool shots of the IS?
