Default winter storage

well i have stored the ss the last 5 yrs since ive own it in the winter. i had to drive it all of this summer since it was my only car but now have a daily driver. of course its garage kept but does using dawn really make a difference if using a 3 step method? i normally wash, clay, wash again then the meguiars 3 steps. any info would be great! now i plan to be only a sunday car next year only has 35,000 miles now.

Using Dawn first and then claying should bring up more of the deficiencies in the paint underlying your current coat of wax. After that I'd wash with normal car soap and then wax and seal her up.

thats why i love the south, you done have to put it away. It rarely ever snows it doesnt get that cold. its awsome up until you have 100+ temps.
