You can do it too!

Your car can go from this:



To this!!





I love New Hampshire...

 

ewwww I hate salt

 

That sucks. Those wheels in the bottom 'pic are just winter wheels, right?

 

That would take me a 40hr work week to get back to what I would consider clean.

 

No worries...just winter wheels.

I have my nice set of 10 spoke 17" factory rims sitting in my shed right now.

 

I never see a 4th gen SS being driven here in the winter. V6 cars & the new camaros I have spotted.

 

That car looks far too nice in the first pic to drive in salt and snow. Time for a $1000 winter beater. That salt eats away like cancer to the underneath of these cars.

 

My '02 car looks like that most of the winter. It really does take a toll on the underbody, engine bay and finish.

But I would walk before I'd subject my '98 or '71 to that kind of treatment. Only reason I was willing to drive the '02 in winter is because the previous owner had already done so.

 

i threw up in my mouth a little bit when i saw the second pic. a wet rag should do the trick!

 

My first Camaro had the same personality complex as yours:





But I used to clean her up real nice every now and then; in the winter, weekly.





The SS doesn't leave the garage until mid-April, however.

 

I don't have much of a choice for now, but I'm getting paid good this year so I shouldnt have to do it next winter!

Mine was also driven in the winter by the previous owner, I suppose that helps a little bit :-p

I've washed it 3 times this winter, the last time was about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Problem is that up here the roads are so incredibly coated with salt that it just sits for weeks and weeks, it takes a few real good rains for it to clean off the roads enough. Probably can't drive your car on the road without getting salt on it until mid April

Another storm this weekend...then It'll get another trip to the car wash on Monday. I've been rinsing off the underside, engine bay, and wheel wells every time I've gone to try and help save it some.

 

Bummer.

My 87 is completely shot and gets the salt treatment if I just have to be somewhere.

I've driven my Z28 3 or 4 times since it started snowing in December and it gets a visit to the carwash before i put it to bed.

 

Say it ain't so! That makes me want to cry

 

You and me both!! Its upsetting to look at my own car!

 

The same is true of the way they treat the roads in Iowa. And they also use the Magnesium Chloride Spray, which is like 50 times more corrosive than salt (******' ********!), on the bridges and overpasses.

We had about 5 days of above freezing temperatures at the end of last week and early this week, melting the snow. But it also left the roads looking like grid of ******' beaches. Sand EVERYWHERE!

Fortunately, Sunday we had a really good hard rain. That got me hoping Spring was nearly here.

But, as it goes with it being Winter in the Midwest, the temp dropped below freezing again and last night we got another 3 or so inches of snow. And, of course, while plowing the County Trucks hit the roads with yet another layer of salt & sand. Undoing everything.

 

This is one of the things I do like about Louisiana. No salt. If the weather gets bad{which it hardly does} they just lay a little sand.

 

Man, I really love Florida... Beaters would def be the way to go..

 

We get over 10 feet of snow every winter, there is enough salt on the roads to cure meat. You should see the rust on my bosses 3 year old $50,000 GMC truck Thankfully I have my Subaru. Sometimes I want to go up to the plow drivers and

 

i wish i had a garage for both my cars and money for a TBSS to drive in shitty weather.

 

Ive have that mod for many years
