As many of you have seen on the news, or those in the Mid-West that are going through it now, a severe winter storm from our Canadian friends up North has invaded the United States. Here in Dallas, Texas, it has caused power outages, icy roads, and overall dangerous conditions.
As I went outside to turn over my Range Rover since it's in the 20s, I noticed that the ice had beaded a bit. I attribute this to the Opti-Coat 2.0 that she is wearing, and I thought it would be fun to take some pictures to share with everyone.
So, as I approached my car, here is what I found...
Upon closer inspection, here are the beads on the paint.

Here is the hood, wearing a thick layer of ice and sleet, despite the fact it looks like snow. Trust me, it is THICK!

Here is some faded vinyl on the rear exterior, which was restored with DLux. As you can see, there were some beads that formed before it froze all the way over.

Another picture of the beads, this time on the rear.

Here is the passenger side, in all its icy glory

The tires are wearing PERL, which was applied thin but undiluted.

Inches of ice sitting on the windshield and hood.

To all of you in getting hit by winter storms, I wish you the best of luck. For professionals that rely on detailing to put food on the table and provide for you and your family, I sincerely hope and pray that the weather breaks and you all can do some work done.
If you all have any questions or comments, I look forward to them! Happy detailing (hopefully inside a heated garage :rockon)!!
