2004 Civic EX magnesium
Couldn't resist....pulled myself away from CNBC and washed the Civic and AIO'd and UPP'd the sucker. Not the greatest mini-detailing job without claying all the grime that I can feel around the lower body panels, but it should last me another 2-3 months or so until I can do the 1st official soup-to-nuts detailing job of 2006.

Anybody else planning on getting the salt and grime off their cars before things might re-cool and/or snow again in the Northeast ?
 
Big deal!
It's 78 in Los Angeles.:)

Of course it's only 32 in Ankeny Iowa.:(

We had some high 40 degree days the past couple of weeks and I was able to get the Montana and the GTP cleaned up and a fresh LSP applied to both. It was the second time since the cold weather started, but Iowa usually does have a few days during the winter season when you can do a few things to your vehicles.
We even have sunshine with our 32 degree temperature and that has been a rarity for a few weeks.
Come on Spring!!!!!

I just got finished giving my mom's van a nice wash and coat of PwC. I plan on cleaning the inside, rotating the tires, topping the fluids and dressing the tires and trim tommorow. I do believe its suppose to rain Weds. and be a little cooler the rest of the week. I plan on giving the RSX its winter protection sometime this week, before school starts :down:
 
Great day in FL too at 76 degrees :)


I helped my friend wash his Cayenne. I got a charge out of his reaction to the foam gun and WW MFs. I'm hoping to get him to "cross over to the dark side" :D
 
It was 50 and sunny here on Cape Cod!!!!!

I did a good exterior wash / clean up on my truck this afternoon.....who knows when it will be warm enough to do that again here. Good thing I have access to a climate controlled indoor washing facility...otherwise I would go crazy!!
 
I should be ashamed of myself I went to get my car washed at a local detail shop because all my hoses are put away for the winter. But at least I did get to put another coat of Zanio on my car :howdy

Since you don't want to divulge your location:), having it done by a good detail shop probably isn't anything to be ashamed of in the winter.
At least you had it washed and got some more protection on it.
:exclaim: Besides that, if no one ever went to a detail shop, an awful lot of guys on this board would be in big trouble.

Im in new york state and you have a point with the detail shop my car was so dirty it needed a good bath and a great bath it got! :dcrules
and I got to try the PB trim restorer witch worked really good !
 
I suppose that I should mention that it might have hit 80 yesterday here in houston. :) I have faint memories of winters in Upstate NY, but for some reason, I just can't seem to bring them up. :dnaughty
 
Got into the upper 40's today in the Boston area. So, I washed the car. I think I'll keep it in the garage for the next few days and clay/polish/wax it. Probably do the interior too. The weather is supposed to be like this all week except for a day or two of rain. So, I'm happy.

Well, I washed my car and detailed the engine bay. Then I clayed the paint. I then took out my spot buffs kit to do a little correction. Boom! Immediately, the backing plate flew apart and took a chunk of paint right out of the middle of my hood a little bigger than a dime. Thanks Spot Buffs!! :mad: Well, guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Going to the body shop. :bawling:
 
Car looks great and is feeling nice and slick once again. My 2004 Honda was protected by a triple layer of Klasse SG, Poorboys EX-P, and UPP. Done in October, the car stays outside all the time so after 3 months the triple-layers had taken a beating (rain, snow, salt, etc). Still, the car had some protection left when I hit it with AIO and UPP the other day.

Looks great once again....glad the weather gave us the opportunityt to wash the winter gunk off our cars and re-protect our little babies ! :D
