Ready For Ole Man Winter...

[alko]

I'll start by putting a disclaimer...I didn't get before and haven't taken any after pics yet...

That said...I am officially ready for Ole Man Winter.

Last weekend, I machine polished my black 2010 Acura TSX with the Wolfgang Twins-I was extremely happy with the results from the twins. I used tangerine Lake Country Hydro Tech pads for the TSR and black CCS pads for the FG with the PC7424XP. I then machine applied a layer of Collinite 915 using red CCS pads. I topped off the Collinite 915 with some Swissvax Concorso.

Today I changed the oil and rotated my tires. I cleaned the wheels and tires, dried, and then applied 2 layers of Collinite 915 on all the rims. The Collinite 915 went on very easy and wiped off even easier. I can't wait to see the durability of the 915.

Who else is ready for winter and how did you prepare your vehicle and what ride did you do this on?

Sounds like it should be nice and protected.

I am fortunate enough that I don't experience any winters worth really prepping my car for.

Although my cars both have a coat of 845 on them.

*sigh* I'm so jealous...I'm really starting to re-think my current location. Nice weather all year long sounds so good right about now. Its been in the 50's and 60's for the past few weeks and I'm HATING it.

Thats the Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish protectant?

Sounds like you you're ready as well...what kinda ride do you have?

[Bacon]

I'll squirt my cars & wheels with Optimum Spray Wax...10 minutes per car. The windows will be treated with RainX. I'll throw my fancy window scraper (from Costco) in the back & vacuum my Weather Tech Floor mats.

I'll need to get one of those new emergency battery chargers too.

I need to get them weather tech floor mats for my car. Last year the salt ruined my drivers floor mat.

What else are you going to do to the ride?

I wish I could garage it. I don't have a garage at my house, but I do park in the parking garage at work. My car usually ends up in the garage on the weekends at my fiance's house.

[dougaross]

Just finished my winter prep. OC on whole car in March, put in my WeatherTech floor liners

[TroyScherer]

You diluted your SG?

This year I did. I have read in places that it increased drying speed and ease of use

Diluted @ 3:1 & 2:1. (H2O:KSG)

I was ready at the end of August.:xyxthumbs:
