Not often I get pictures like this in Mississippi

IMO no.
I just did a RW using DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss on my car which was more dirty than yours.
Had to knock of some ice first but it turned out nice in the end:))
I love the DP brand, works very, very well.
Just make sure to use plenty of MF towels.
I used 10 of them

Not at all as long as you don't attempt to take off those huge chunks at the bottom.

No your car don't look too dirty for rinse less wash just remove as much of the snow as you can first and as a suggestion if you have a long fender brush and blower I would take the left over wash solution and give the undercarriage a quick brush to remove any salt or anything then blow dry

That doesn't seem very dirty for a RW IMO. Just knock that ice off first. You'd be surprised how far you can go with a RW.

Poor vette. That thing needs to be tucked away in a garage.

[Billand]

just spray it off first then your ok to use ww

Mississippi??? What's up brotha!!

[twobucket]

this is nothing...

Thanks for the replies. It was more of a joke as I read all the time about when it's too dirty for rinseless etc.

The vette is a car that is meant to be driven. It is tucked in the garage until I need to go somewhere :-) I love this car and I will drive it -never understood garage queen cars
Isn't that we slave over putting protectant layers on the paint? Maybe I missed the point of paint protection. Garage queens don't need much TLC

Yep Mississippi no salt here as it rarely ever snows and sticks

@OP: You're kinda lucky...

-De-icers/road-"salts" will wreak havoc on Corvettes.

-I bet your Corvette doesn't normally need to be fitted for
snow treads, in order for it to be a DD during the Winter season.


Just a couple of the reasons, that I've heard, of why some
snow-belt vehicles become garage-queens during their owners' Winter seasons.

I understand garaging one in severe climates but I'm on the corvette forum too. Lots of guys there barely drive there cars in the spring, summer, fall, or winter.

Makes for buying a low mileage used one pretty easy though. That's what I did


I couldn't live somewhere that has bad winters. I hate cold weather. I prefer 90-100 degrees myself

As a little note, ice crystals are abrasive. So be careful in the cold, if the wash liquid starts freezing and you wipe that against the paint... well you can guess the rest.

Precisely. Take a trip to the diy car wash, get the crud off with the power sprayer, then do the rinseless wash. Be sure to put warm water in your soap bucket!

Looking for some personal experience insight. I finally was able to do a 2bm yesterday w/ the warmer weather here in the Northeast. I was only taking it to the coin op and using the pressure washer to keep the salt off. The issue is on the panels i would rinse the truck thoroughly, but there was still like a weird white film left on the truck. My truck never even looked half cleaned the past 3 weeks even when it wasnt snowing. (I was at the coin op 2-3x per week). Thanks
