Default I'm not crazy!!

It snowed over the weekend, and yesterday, I washed, dried, and waxed the F150, most of it without a jacket even on so I wouldn't get it wet., she sure is fine looking today, I didn't go into the normal detail I usually do (underside of the hood, behind the fuel tank doors, insi=de the grille)
but she looks way better now

Too bad it's gonna prob snow again tomorrow or day after. :-)
I'll wash the truck after a big snow storm ( get all the salt off from roads ) but other then that, not doing a super detailed clean job that I normally do when warmer. Sorta sucks trying to wash a car when water freezes in the wash bucket 15 minutes after you filled it.

I usually clean/polish my vehicle before winter, and do some light cleaning during snow storm. But i have to leave it for 20 minutes with open doors to be able to open them next time

well we get snow and snow and snow. I put 2 coats of wax on the entire truck and 4 on the crome bumpers and wheels to protect from the salt. Now for the winter I'll run her through the car wash once a week to keep clean. No detail work.

I know car wash = bad but the salt = worse so I have no choice.
