You know how it's recommended to never use a brushed automatic carwash because it scratches the hell out of your paint, how important it is to use a car soap with good lubrication, 1 wash mitt per panel, etc, all to reduce how much you scratch the paint.
Well, what about people who live in the snow belt and don't put their cars in garages?
doesn't the snow and ice scratch the hell out of you paint and make all the care those people take of the paint when it's not snowing almost useless?

how much does snow and ice scratch your paint?

Not only will it scratch your paint, it will rust the hell out of your car.
I've been preaching for years, don't drive in rain, sun, or snow. All my car(s) are immaculate.
Hand washing with some ONR and car wash soap is probably the best way to wash so that you don't instill a lot of swirls. But the best way to keep clean, imo, is to apply a good wax like 303 graphene wax and clean your car once a week so that the dirt don't build up.Last edited by tunafishha; 02-10-2021 at 04:45 PM.

snow isn't real
it's just a hoaxDon't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

I turned my garage into a pressure chamber. first i vaccum out to almost -700 mmhg, then i pump in pure argon for maximum preservation.Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged ~ Captain Jean-Luc Picard

There is a reason cars born with a lot of potential lose their value for existing in areas filled with peasants lacking either the income or intelligence to go somewhere it doesn't snow. Why would you stay in a place that even kills metal if it goes outside?

To an extent yes. The clearing of snow certainly scratches the finish .I paint corrected and ceramic coated my evo years ago and dd’d it all year. Winter driving didn’t introduce anymore swirls than other seasons as long as it was washed properly.

I drive my cars, just when the weather is nice and tight, nice and right.Originally Posted by GainzMcgee
No but what I mean is to try and avoid bad weather conditions if you can help it, because it really does affect the car.
My profession and lifestyle allows me to avoid those things.We're not equals until you respect the words of God.

Coming from the kid who thinks a base level Grand Cherokee is a "nice car" I'll take that as a compliment.Originally Posted by tunafishha

Not quite sure what you are trying to say. But I do like the new GC. My only critique is that its a 3 row suv now, which looks to big.Originally Posted by Holyfenix

I'm saying that base model Grand Cherokee's are for bored suburban housewives. Are you a suburban housewife pal?Originally Posted by tunafishha

I'm not sure why you would say that because in my observations I rarely see women drivers of the Grand Cherokee.Originally Posted by Holyfenix
I just don't see the new Cherokee as a suburban wife car. You get that from Acura MDX, Hondas, Toyotas etc.We're not equals until you respect the words of God.
