GtiGuy Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It'll be nice being away from home for a winter. (Minnesota to Virginia) but mid October sounds about right. We all know how unpredictable the weather can be up north. All I know for sure is I haaaaaate the salt on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mid October will be a good time to do the winterizing. I plan on a once a month detail during the winter months Nov.- March. We have already had a light frost, seems that each year winter gets longer. I plan a few weeks in Tucson, after the first of the year, and leave the car garaged.

musclejunkie Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I plan on October and if the weather outlook is good will hold off a week or two at most. Let's enjoy what little nice weather we have left. Driving to work on salted roads at 15 mph, just doesn't appeal to me. Nor does parking my car in a lot and having some nutjob crazy freakshow behind the wheel of a runaway salt truck that spreads salt creating high speed projectiles showering my car. I'm thinking orange pylons this year to place 10 feet behind my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stibuki Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Usually mid to late October for me. This year I am going to try and get a head start and do my paint cleansing, defect removal, chassis and interior in the next week or two and a quick coat of sealant. Then next month just a quick clean up and and a coat or two of sealant and a toper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I would say no later than the end of this month for those of us that live in climates like Colorado. Never know when that first snow is gonna pop, and if when it does, if the weather will come back enough for you to do so. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOx Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah, I sure hope I don't ruin my finish when we get that 1/4" of slush that one day this winter. Atlanta's 1 salt truck might not even make it out our way by the time it melts the next morning. I'm stocking up on bread and milk already because late January will be here before you know it.
