That time of year

Now winter is approaching it's time to prepare the cars for the winter months, anybody started to get there's ready? I done full body decontamination and tried a new to me sealant to endure the winter months hopefully!

The wheels came off for the same treatment but 2 have corroded slightly on the inside, so they got a good clean and I am debating putting my other set of wheels on! They were going to be summer only but they're well protected and I have the means to maintain them...

I will put me chunky tyres on in a few weeks, throw a shovel in the boot along with a blanket and wash out me thermos in case we are I for the long wait...

Not getting your clay bar back out then? I have some little handy box for winter with hand warmers, glow sticks (I have a torch too) and high energy bar food stuff!

Wow, what sealant is that? I did mine yesterday with some stuff called CQUK C quartz, topped off with Reload. Water beading was fine, but yours is remarkable.

Need to do the auto next.

I'm surprised it is out performing quartz and reload! It is auto finesse tough coat, spent a lot of time on the prep work as I always do just to await durability results now!

I used to use wolfs body wrap, but when the bottle ran out i asked here for recommendations and quartz was suggested. I only put it on the car yesterday so only time will tell. It states on the box that it takes a full 24 hours to really cure, but sadly it got rained on after 12 hours. It is always nice to see it reach that point on the dual carriageway when you hit that speed where all the water suddenly breaks away and blows off the bonnet. My paintwork isnt a showcar standard by any stretch but i like to have it protected ready for winter.

Yeah getting it protected is definitely a good idea, quartz does come highly recommended! My bodywork is not in the best condition either, will be getting that addressed next year hopefully and then decide whether or not to wet sand or just machine polish then it will be time for a proper sealant!

This is what the car looked like this morning, not very uniform! Quite disappointed, supposed to last the entirety of winter... fk1000p it is!

On the upside I got my split rims fitted this morning along with full alignment!

Fk1000p has now been applied, looks more promising!
