My GTO has the Winter Blues

[littlemissGTO]

Recently we got 6 inches of snow. Well since the GTO is my DD for this winter it was hating me. Today the temps were in the upper 40's so I got out and cleaned the car up.

Process:

PB's BW as a pre treatment

ONR (streaked like crazy because I used too much BW)

PB's S&G (cleaned up the streaks)

Natty's Blue on the windows (experiment)

Cleaned the wheels with P21S wheel cleaner

Dressed the tires with Z16.

Before:

Pre treat:

Streaks:

Afters:

(I know I missed a spot)

P.S I can't wait until spring to deal with the swirl marks.

No not today. I've got three coats of Natty's red on the paint.

This is the first time I've used the blue. I've got a friend that has a black 70 GTO that I will detail in the spring. That's when I'll have a good comparison.

Looks much better! I hate the winter and even more so all the road salt. Don't tell anyone but, I gave up and went through a touchless wash yesterday.

I seriously thought about doing that.

damn reminds me of my car. did you get all that swirling from just driving it on the roads in the conditions? i still have my summer wheels in my garage waiting to get washed..cant wash them though it hasnt been over 35 in weeks and they are still filthy i try to keep the salt off by going to the coin op pressure washes

The swirling is my fault. I used a cheap wash mitt type doohickey and it caused the swirl marks because I was feeling lazy when I tried ONR. I'm going to wait a little bit longer and order a couple more ulti-mitts and take care of the car the proper way.
