If push comes to shove, I'll use a regular car wash with the winter wheels on it. Pretty much all of them offer undercarriage wash with a rust inhibitor. I don't have a nismo, so not worried about clearance. But the wheel tracks will scrape the sports package wheels. The winter tires have high sidewalls that clear the tracks.

Salt & rust vs having to buff out the swirls in the spring? I'll take having to buff it extra well.

Commuted every day from nj to manhattan and its not so bad. Cant wait to get this baby washed and detailed....undercarriage is a problem though cause igot the spoiler.

There's a place in Paterson that may do it. Lightmodz did my headlights (smoked out portions of it) but they also do vinyl wrapping so I don't see how they couldn't do window tints as well. They do good work.

One damn snow storm after another, I JUST washed the damn thing.

Masterbeatty · 02-03-2014, 01:17 PM

Where I live in ct. There are a few hills and even the slightest I can't really go up in light snow. But I just leave a bag of salt in the back with a full tank of gas and that works alright even with BFg all seasons. But this will be the only winter my Z see's as next year my wife will have a new car.
