Thanks again for the opportunity!

WeatherTech floor liners.
Simply the best piece of protection that helps to keep the interior looking clean and new.
While the WeatherTech floor liners do look nice, I have have great success with with my 15+ yo LL Bean winter mats. Not vinyl or plastic but jute? top with a no-slip rubber base. Much nicer with snowy boots IMHO than any liners.
I like the molded weathertech personally due to it being able to hold a lot

1. Check liquids. Change them if it has been awhile or too then off.
2. Check tires / tire pressure.
3. Emergency kit with all the goodies.
4. New layer of sealant.
5. Most importantly. Don`t drive in bad weather. All the prep work in the world won`t help if you make bad decisions. (unless you are a mandated worker. I appreciate you).
I polish out the defects and apply Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 to protect the paint. I then either use a rinse less wash with wax or spray wax every chance I get all winter.
I have lived in North (Canada) for a while so i know:
1) change oil to thinner grade from 5W30 to 0W30
2) Get the car undercoated
3) following that a good car wash. With a wax and sealant
4) Interior : shampoo and detail with leather protection
5) i would not wash the engine since its already greased with undercoating and provided protection for winter
6 ) Siicone spray all rubber surfaces. Esp door jams.
7) Finally take bunch of awsome pictures.
For my winter prep I will apply two coats of Sealant. This year I used Blackfire. I then will clean the windows really well and apply a coat of rain repellant such as Griots to the windshield. Check the windshield wipers and replace as needed. I will wash my vehicle often and apply a spray detailer as a drying aid to help maintain the Sealant. I normally use Poorboys Spray and Gloss. Since I live in an area with snow and there is normally ample amounts of salt and sand on the roadways I also will wash off the undercarriage of the vehicle really well. I have detailed several vehicles with frame damage due to the neglect of the undercarriage. Folks up North I`m sure will agree.
Gotta love how they put "On or around 9/20" ;)
