Winter Preparation
Hey guys,
Since this will be my first winter with a car worth more than the detailing products I use on it, I began thinking about winter and how to care for my 1er during said season. Obviously washing and waxing during the winter is out of the question since I don't have a garage or want to get frost byte. But if there's a way to prepare my car for winter ahead of time (e.g. by sealing or waxing) then please share your tips! I'm in Montreal so I can expect snow, ice, slush, and salt on the roads for a few months. Thanks for your help! |

For maximum protection apply a top quality sealant. Sealants will last far longer than a natural carnauba wax so they are ideal for snowy weather. Three of my favorite sealants would be the [url=http://www.detailedimage.com/Chemical-Guys-M31/Jet-Seal-109-P184/16-oz-S1/]Chemical Guys Jet Seal 109 - 16 oz[/url, Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger - 16 ozand the Optimum (OPT) Opti-Seal - 8 oz. All three are extremely durable during our tough winter conditions. They help repel moisture and preserve the finish. Additionally I use them on the wheels and glass for some added protection. I've noticed it makes the snow so much easier to drive in and it's easier to clean off in the morning. Let me know if you have any other questions. Greg @ DI |
