My very own R32 Winter Prep (with einszett)

I guess this is about the only time I will be able to do my car, when its snowing out.
No clay or paint correction needed at this point, however I will do some paint correction after the winter. It will need 2 steps.

My major concern was to clean off the salt and protect the car.

What was done -
Exterior

- Wheels were prepped with P21S Wheel Gel and cleaned up with various brushes
- Tires were spritzed down with P21S Total Autowash and washed down
- Washed with ONR
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Dried
- Quick Polish for einszett Paint
- Wheels protected with einszett Spray Wax
- Protected with einszett Glanz
- Rubber and Plastics Treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed
- Exhaust tips cleaned

Interior Detail

- All interior surfaces cleaned and protected, including glass, and all
vinyl/plastic surfaces. (einszett Cockpit)
- Carpets and upholstery vacuumed.

You did the whole car in the garage? Very nice.

detailersdomain

yup Optimum No Rinse is your friend in these situations.

keep inside to avoid getting diRtY again!

I wish, it pretty much looks like the before pics again

Did you spray your car with water first before you used Optimum No Rinse? I have ONR but I haven't tried it yet. How much dirt and salt can be on the car and safely use ONR without scratching the paint?

detailersdomain

no water before hand just onr.

take a look at this video

Thanks for the video. I guess i'll need to go out and get one of those garden sprayers. i'm wondering on really dirty sections of the car like salt/dirt build-up from snow areas would need more than just the ONR spray.

detailersdomain

you don't have to follow the video to exactly when there is more dirt/salt on the car I do try to flood the panels with a ton of ONR and really really wet towels once it well lubricated with little pressure wipe the panel, repeat till the panel is clean. Note changing towels when the towel gets dirty is a very smart idea. On my R32 I probably used about 20 mf towels.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to try it one day when it gets too cold to take the cars through a touchless washer.

sure thing anytime.
