VRT will be too slippery.... especially if it gets wet!
 
I have good results with Interior Detailer.
 
 I have also used the “dressing” that Weather Tech sells... although it is a bit pricey, but it works. 

Agreed with @Firebuff17 on both VRT and ID.

I just detailed my wife's Subaru Crosstrek and used Liquid Paint Sealant for the first time. So far, I'm amazed by the results of actually using the product, and the shine upon completion. I've yet to see how well it will hold up over time, but I'm expecting good things. This car looks really neat with the baby blue paint and the chunky black cladding.

For the car's next couple of washes, I was aiming to just do a simple wash and then use Guard & Gloss to dry & finish things off. I just purchased G&G, but have not used it yet. Are there any issues with repeated applications of G&G on top of paint sealant over time? I won't be washing the car all the time, maybe every couple of weeks, but I want to make sure piling layers of G&G on top of each other, on top of paint sealant isn't eventually going to make things look wonky, how having too many coats of wax on top of each other could.
 
Thanks!

That was my plan! I was definitely under no impression that the car would be anything close to actually clean when we picked it up.
 
She's getting a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.

Right now, we have an arctic blast coming through Michigan and the temperatures haven't been above freezing for the last 10 days and it's looking like it will probably be another week or so before it breaks.
 
As such, you can't really wash your car since spraying it down with water when it's 10 degrees out will just result in everything freezing.
 
My Focus ST is now completely filthy, but I don't know if there's much I can do until the cold breaks. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do when it's too cold to wash your car outside (and don't have access to a heated garage)?
 
I feel horrible, I never let my cars get like this, but unless I had a heated wash bay to use, I'm not sure what other options I have....

I second the notions for a non-flat bill hat. I like hats that are a flex-fit style with a curved bill.
