washing and waxing

[Lafiro]

Only washed and did the wax two days ago. Alright your idea sounds perfect. I will wait a few days because of all this rain from Ida, its on and off here very light, but by no means any condition to be making the car look nice. My goal isnt just to make it look good/feel silky smooth, but to protect it all I can from salt and crap during this upcoming winter. Of coarse I will be waxing it during the winter just not that often, atleast I do have a spot at my dads other place, indoor garage hooked up to hot and cold inside, so I can wash the car with warm water during the winter. It rocks! (big building so the water never ever runs out)

Oh, can I wax my rims? I notice the paint is slowly now fading/missing from rock hits. And stupid me left them on all winter last year, causing my to spin out a few times, once causing light damage to the undercarriage. Bad idea as the color never looked the same on them again (black)

Thats a really good idea. Winter prep is crucial, especially in places with a decent amount of snow, meaning road salt! The winters out here in Utah can get pretty crazy so it's good to keep the paint protected. Thats awesome with how you can wash your car at your dad's place. I don't really get too many chances to wash my car during the winter. lol, but when the sun does come out and the temps warm up a tad, I grasp the opportunity! But, it's all good, cuz when Spring-time comes around I give my car a full basic detail. Get her all spiffyed up for the warm season.

Huh, what kinda wheels are they? Normally a decent quality wheel shouldn't fade that easily through one winter. Nonetheless, yes, you can wax your wheels, it will provide some protection to an extent. OR, you could repaint those suckers. lol
