Winter prep
Just a quick post, and a quick wash and prep of my 370z before I put the car cover on for the winter.
The usual Sonax shots, IMG_4405 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4411 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4412 by J M Gale, on Flickr Getting my foam gun ready. Just water and Adams car wash, IMG_4413 by J M Gale, on Flickr Foamed. Still haven't figured out how to get the heavy coat of foam... IMG_4414 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4415 by J M Gale, on Flickr Checking the temp. The temp was dropping fast, IMG_4416 by J M Gale, on Flickr A quick snack break... the celery was gone first, lol, IMG_4428 by J M Gale, on Flickr The car is a 2009 model originally bought early 2010. I just purchased it end of August this year. It only has 6000 miles on it. I don't think it's ever been clayed because this is the results from half of the roof, IMG_4425 by J M Gale, on Flickr Im saving a full correction for the spring when weather warms up a bit. I really just wanted to make sure it was clean before the car cover went on. After the clay I did a coat of MPL, Sonus on the tires, and wiped down the engine, IMG_4437 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4436 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4441 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4435 by J M Gale, on Flickr Here she is covered up. I bought the cover from CoverQuest. They are very good as far as shipping to Canada goes. I opted for the Noah fabric even though it will only be stored indoors. I'm very happy with the fit and finish of the cover, IMG_4421 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4420 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4419 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_4443 by J M Gale, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

I am planning on putting her to sleep this weekend. The temperature is supposed to be about 60° and sunny, so this will NOT be a pleasant experience. You are correct that it will be a LONG A$$ winter. Nighty, night good friend!

I'll be doing the same myself soon... the silver cleans up nice, best part about that color. I don't have your foam gun but the one I have has different selectors with different size holes that allow more or less foam out... you should have something similiar.

Yeah, my foamer has the selectors, I've tried them out with some success. I think I'm not using enough soap, only ~1 oz. plus water. I'll try doing 4+ oz of soap plus water and see how that goes.

Looking nice and clean....I'm probably looking to drive everyday other than snow days here in NY with the harsh winters.
