So Snow and Salt?

[The G-Man]

Well I took physics in high school but I transferred from my other college. I dont think they took that credit. If not they will probably put you in some 100 class. For example they stuffed me in PLB115 (plant biology) which is easy but I choose not to work hard in that class.

You go to SIU? Because the 49ers kicked some Saluki ass last night.

Im In freddy beach New brunswick, a meet in the summertime would be wicked, hopefully i'll have my H swap done by then, and my Mugen struts on haha

on topic, My buddy washes his car in his garage (it has a drain in the middle) and he washes his vw every 2 days with the heater on in the garage of course lol and he just said make sure u got it dry before u roll it out or else u wont get ur doors open lol. my friend did that, wasnt the key holes but the locks themselves froze shut, had to poor warm water to get em open.

Make sure you get it washed regularly. I get a papertowel and "floss" where the quarter panel meets the bumper, i also wipe other trouble spots where salt collects on the body.

I wouldn't risk running my car through a car wash because I don't think the car wash would get to the spots under the quarter panel......that's y I prefer washing it by hand so I can make sure I get all of the salt out.......

What i do is a good coat of really good wax before the snow hits, regularly taking it to the car was (not the automatic one) and finally hitting it once at week with wd40 in all the spots cb7's are known to rust. But as stated before, a good underbody coating will help too.

Yup I powerwash my car at least once a week in the winter. Get down on one knee and blast the underside as well. Yeah its nice to work in a bodyshop with a heated wash bay Clean the inside of the wheelwell lip as well. Stuff also collects in the trim around the rear wheel well and causes problems. reundercoat places where its missing. 3m Undercoat in a spraybomb is your friend. My opinion, oil coating just makes a mess. Learn how to buff and buff and wax the car at least once a year. That'll keep the paint shining. If you live in my area I'd be happy to show you how. (On your car )

That reminds me, I need to take my car to the touchless carwash. They have an undercarriage sprayer too. There's very little film on the car though. It's maybe snowed lightly 4 times total. The rain today rinsed the car clean, so maybe I'll hold off until the car gets a little dirtier again.
