    Up North it gets pretty darn cold, most don`t go out without a coat, your vehicle shouldn`t go without a coat (or 2) either

    1. Check liquids. Change them if it has been awhile or top them off
    2. Check tires / tire pressure
    3. Emergency kit
    4. New layer of sealant.
    5. Keep up on washes

    Re: RUPES Best Off-Season Prep Tip Giveaway

    I usually use one of several versions of the standard Rinseless Wash technique. My most common one, I`ll take a Waterless Wash and spray the car as a pre-soak. I will then use a Rinseless Microfiber Wash Mitt with a single bucket rinseless solution to wash the car. When I want to use car soap, I will pull out the Kwaazar foamer and use it as a substitute for my foam gun. Then from their I can take a bucket with rinseless solution to wash the vehicle. Sometimes I`ll use two buckets depending on the situation. If it calls for two buckets from my judgement, I`ll more likely fill one bucket with a lighter than usual amount of car soap using the Chenille Wash Mitt to wash the car. Then I will use the second bucket, filled with Rinseless Wash to rinse the car off, using a seperate mitt.

    I will use my dedicated tire and wheel bucket filled up with rinseless solution as well. I can spray the wheel with an All Purpose Cleaner and then clean and rinse with a microfiber towel.


    I have also been known to pull out waterproofed clothing and use the hose in the 30s and 40s with no regrets lol!

    I always apply glass sealant to help with snow and ice removal and overall vision and keep emergency kit in trunk. Also during winter season try to get to self serve wash Bay and clean up under car to get as much road salt off as possible

    I kept out of this one and on AG as I`m sure someone would benefit more from it than I would. Good luck to everyone who`s vying for the prize!
