Winter Clean
Give the M4 a deep winter clean today.Started with GT Decon diluted 1:20 in a spray bottle used as a pre wash on the lower half then power wash rinsed to remove traffic film.
Wheels sprayed with Labocosmetica Sidero diluted 1:4 in spray bottle to remove iron particles,also foamed with GT wheel shampoo in a IK Foamer them power wash rinsed. Car foamed all over using GT demineralisation shampoo diluted 1:10 in my foam lance,left to dwell for 5 mins then power rinsed off. Bucket wash using GT car shampoo then power rinsed off. Dried using my leaf blower and a couple of towels to mop up the rest. Glass treated with Gyeon Quick View.This should help keep the windscreen clear through winter. Tyres treated with Gyeon Tire Express. |

I'm a big 'fan' of GT and Gyeon products. Have you tried Koch Chemie Protector Wax after your final rinse, I really rate it. 15ml in 500ml of water in my foam cannon is more than enough to full cover my X5 M60i, spray on and rinse off. I find it much more economical than Gyeon Wet Coat. |

No I have not tried that.Im currently using Labocosmetica Beneficia which is a spray sealant.It takes a couple of squirts per panel and gives good gloss with good beading.It takes very little to dry it with my leaf blower. |

Used Bilt Hamber Touchless for the first time today along with the Active 2.0. To say I was impressed by both would be an understatement. There was a ton of salt/dirt on the car and it looks amazing after with zero contact wash. I am hooked. Maine winters are terrible.

Looking out the window at the -16c storm that feels like -23c and looking at this picture with green grass and tress with leaves... then looking at the thread title... Yeah, "winter" is relative.
