About the only difference for me is that I wash more frequently so nasty winter [stuff] doesn't get too built up.

And I do spend a bit more time on the undercarriages, using APCs/etc. on them instead of just strong shampoo mixes, so during the winter those areas aren't dressed/waxed/etc. the way they'd be in nicer weather (the APC takes such stuff off and I'm not gonna redo them all the time).

I used to switch my wife's car to 476S for the winter, but she likes the #16 better so these days I just use it year-round.

So no, no real difference for me other than washing more often and being more heavy-duty about the underneath.
