New Genny: Winter Prep

[jkburns]

Fall is in the air here in the great northland (Minnesota). My R spec is a month old and unfortunately, I'm alrerady thinking about how to best prep the exterior for the brutal weather ahead.

We can discuss the rear-wheel drive aspects of Minnesota winters at another time.

Upon delivery four weeks ago I clay-barred the paint, applied Meguire's Ultimate Polish and two (yes two) applications of Meguire's Ultimate Wax. It turned out awesome!

I want something harder (wax) to begin the winter. What do you recommend?

I'm thinking Meguire's Carnuba (formerly known as "Step 3").

Your thoughts, please?

The best thing is to keep applying the paint protection throughout the winter. I've never found anything that lasts more than a month no matter what the bottle says. Definitely consider a set of good winter tires.

From what I read this stuff lasts longer than a month and I am applying it this weekend to my 2012 genny sedan 5.0, I hate waxing >

You might consider "Paint Sealant" from girot's garage (www.griotsgarage.com). Works for me.
