Some winter proofing... Well today the first snowflakes fell and I decided it was time to start thinking about gettiny my car ready for winter!
So I went to walmart and bought 3 cans of Rubberizer (kinda need 4 but barely)
Spent the last few hours spraying the underside of the car and myself quite a bit, hopefully it will hold up through the winter and not peel off all over. Not bad for less than 10 bucks.
Anyone else have any experience with this stuff ? Does it stick well?
Next weeks winter proofing project some synthetic wax and the snow tires go on!!

Yeah....not looking forward to winter over here. Just put my brand new snow tires on.....Dunlop M3....they look pretty nice, and I've read good things about them. What kind of tires did you get? I've been through 3 winters and my car has held up pretty good. I never sprayed any of that stuff on the underside though.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Same here.
What type of undercoating did you use Luna? 3M professional has always worked best for me. I've done quite a few cars with that stuff, lasts for YEARS.

I guess some of us can't be a garage queen!
Hopefully next winter... I hate driving in summer,
Blizzak's, lot's of coats of Zaino
and imagine an egg between your foot, and gas, brake...
thats my strategy too.

I had the Blizzaks on my car for three winters....they worked pretty good. Decided to give these Dunlop WinterSport M3s a try, good reviews over on tirerack, good looking tire too.
The egg advice is pretty much the best advice I've heard when it comes to driving in the winter. Stay away from steep hills and just take things very slow and you should be fine with the Blizzaks. Of course big empty parking lots can be kind of fun.......once in a while that is
I usually took me car to one of those automatic car washes once a week too......I just used the high pressure spray to wash off the grime and dirt and to spray the underneath as well.
