Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
Yeah. We've had a couple of storms in the last week. Snow and ice still stick the same. Hopefully I'll get a chance to wash later this week and maybe clean up will be easier

Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
Its was cold today but dry. I stopped at the coin wash to pressure wash the grime off. My truck cleaned up pretty well. It still needs to be washed, but it looks a lot better than last winter when it was just wax. I feel a lot better with a coating on over all the waxes and sealants I've used over the years

Kinda did that on purpose for 2 reasons
1. Dont want to give exact locations to the whole world
2. For the 5 years I was in the Marines and would tell people that I was even just from Rochester (let alone my small town) they would ALL say "Where is that" so I got used to saying Between Buffalo and Syracuse.

Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
My Sierra was coated with WG Uber CC in October of '16.
While is still looks great a year later... Salt does not "run off"
When it's snowing or the streets are wet / slushy...then it's colder overnight, everything dries...so yes, the lower sections of the truck still show "crusty-ness" from dried salt.
I live NW of Chicago...so salt is put down in buckets for a flurry.
Sucks but I can only hope the coating is doing it's best to "protect" the surface from as much of the elements as possible

Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
Reviving this thread as it's almost winter time. And will be my first time here in Michigan... Coming all the way from sunny Singapore!
So what's everyone best bet now when it comes to winter preparation and maintenance?
I would imagine coating will still be number one? I would have thought snow and salt won't stick to the paint but saw a post stating otherwise. I guess by definition of stick that would be subjective as a coin op power wash would remove it, correct?
How about for glass and windshield, what is everyone's go to? No windshield wiper chatter?

Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
I'm still a Collinite man. 476s is pretty damn tough, and while not quite Michigan winters, New York winters are no picnic.
And while others may scoff, a nice polished windshield treated with 845 will last for many, many weeks.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
It will be my first winter with a coated car (if I still have it, it's for sale right now).
But, I always do an aquapel treatment on both the windshield and back window before the winter hits, and removing snow and ice is really easy once the windows have Aquapel on them. So I am expecting this to be similar on the paint with the coating.

Re: Snow/Ice adhesion on coated cars
Thanks guys! The only thing that stopping me is the possibility of windshield wiper chatter. I know TTQ mentioned that prep is key and to change the blades once you've coated the windshield to avoid this.
I'm going to sell this as a service so I'm not sure asking them to change to a new pair of blades will be a hassle for them.
