Re: What are your winter prep plans?

Sounds like a good plan Troy!

Also wondering about Aquapel. Do they sell it OTC anyplace? Better than rain-x?
Never used aquapel, but always used rain-x. Applied gtechniq's g1 about a month and a half ago and find it amazing compared to rain-x. We just have rain in Michigan currently and I almost never use my wipers anymore. Curious to see how it holds up with snow and ice. Sure it's pricey, but in my eyes you usually get what you pay for, especially with the claim of lasting 20,000 miles. I prepped with g4. Kinda time consuming, but worth it if it lasts and I don't need to reapply something every few months

Re: What are your winter prep plans?

Nice to hear others plans for winter! Unless you're one that gets zero snow or salt.

I just completed winter prep on my fathers truck and will be doing the same to my mother's and mine when time is available.

Bump for others plans!
