Winter Battle Plan Poll

[hoyt66]

Just wondering about your plan for winter car care.

1) When_ Probably this weekend

2) What_ Dawn wash-Clay-Pinnacle paint cleanse-Wgdgps(2 coats)-Fuzion(2 coats)

I dunno, for me, winter prep has to be #16, Collinite paste, or Zaino.

I'm Opti coated... Bring it on.

I actually planned on painting my car over winter. My car is no gem...but I like it that way, ha. I've got a couple spots where rust poked through. I'm debating on whether or not to just paint the whole thing...or just those panels.

Trust me...this does tie in to the question. So, I was going to compound, polish, and seal the whole car. Then I'll be able to see what panels are good, and which ones need paint. Buuuut I may just paint the whole damn thing, ha. We shall see. All I know is...I don't like rust.

I have a couple of coatings I want to test but a good sealant and Collinite 845 once again for my 1999 Dodge Dakota.

It's still early but I'm starting to put a plan together...

My plan for winter is Durogloss 105/601 combo, topped with Collinite #845. I also plan on making sure that I have a few cases of beer, in case it gets real cold. !!!:props:

I'll wait another five or seven weeks then apply good old Collinite 845 on top of Pinnacle's Advanced Finishing Polish.

Anyone use Collinite 915 for winter protection?

[Jeff120]

Ill hold off as long as I can, probably until the end of or middle Oct.

Either WGDGPS topped with 845, or just straight 845 still undecided.

Could you explain your process? I mean, how the beer works to ensure the sealant bonding if "it gets real cold"?

[MI Mike]

The beer help me to get through the day. Detailers withdrawal !!!

[hoyt66]

Looks like I'll be waiting a little longer too. Just checked UPS to see if my clay kit would

be here today.... Not til end of day Monday!!!!!!!Thats ok. Probably work on the

honeydoo list.

I have to wait until I get my supplies to do a rinseless wash. Then I will use Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer to remove all old LSP's and put down a coat of Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and two coats of Collinite 845.

[TroyScherer]

Here's the plan....

My Car:
1. Strip off all old protection.
2. IronX and clay to decon paint.
3. Klasse AIO paint / wheels / glass. (Winter wheels are in storage)
4. Klasse SG x3. (Bullet Proof)
5. This is where I an unsure. I usually use #845 x2. But I may use Permanon.



Wife's Car:
1. Car is already protected by CQuartz.
2. Wash and top with Reload.
3. Final top up with Permanon just before the snow comes...

The fact that we have a winter plan thread already makes me very ill.
