Well I have set a record for myself. Car not washed for over a month now, and won't be washed till it gets above freezing. (last winter I froze my inclined driveway and could no longer stand next to the car :doh )

I happen to love driving in the snow, and my dunlop graspic ds-2's are doing a fine job. but as you can see its probably the worst thing I could do for staying clean short of driving into a swamp.

Atleast you can still see the #16 topped AIO shining through up front :up
 
Haha, looks identical to mine right now. Except mines black. :(



I'm kind of excited to clean it though, haha.
 
Its sometimes fun to get it all dirty just so you can turn around and detail it and actually have a reason!!
 
:( :( :(



My car's been in the garage for the weekend all clean with a fresh coat of Paste Glaz....but I have to take it to class tomorrow, and it's going to look like that :(
 
Yeah, thats about what mine looks like, but it too is black.... luckily I have some trim at about the middle of my door, so it doesnt get much higher than that.
 
My girlfriend's looks worse. It's terrible. There is almost no sign of an actual color. It's just brownish-white. If you look at the roof, then you see the blue.





Good Luck with the cleanup. Hers will take a while :)
 
durrr..... I hate this weather. Especially since I have never done a full detail on my truck -- it's been too cold ever since I got it. :sad:
 
here's mine (kinda a repost).

Ha- mine looked like that AFTER I spent $3 giving it a quick pressure-spray last night. I still have the dirt marks onthe windshield where the wipers don't wipe...

good enough for now, I guess.:nixweiss
 
it was above freezing today so I leaped on the chance to change my oil.

Got that done and thought, well I'll just hose it off... hehe, you all know how that goes.



Let me just give a :up to #16. The grime came off really easy, like two light swipes. Then I went :shocked when I hit the first washed pannel with the hose. The soapy water film just got cut into a million little beads.

Winter sucks.



I got the Jeep washed yesterday finally. The truck got clayed about 2 weeks ago, but I haven't been able to put any sort of protection on it since. I'm kicking myself for it now. Mom's car is covered in salt from the waist (side molding) down :(
