Polish before Winter?

[Forza]

In the summer I drive my Camaro, but in the winter (I live in Southern Ontario across the border from Detroit Michigan), I drive a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport.

 

The Explorer has never been polished or anything, but now that I am hooked on Adam's products, I thought to myself "Hey, why not make the winter beater look a little nicer!" I enjoy doing the work and I like the way the car looks when it is done.

 

My question to you all is this: With winter about 3-4 months away, is it a waste of time, or a bad idea to polish up the winter beater? Will all that hard work go to waste once the snow season begins?

[Chewy]

It's NEVER a bad idea... You could just hit it with some clay, FMP or Revive and then put a couple coats of sealant on it.

 

I drive my G8 year round in Iowa... We have snow, ice, and SALT!

I have a ton of swirls so I'll be doing the Swirl & Haze Remover pass as well.

I wouldn't consider it a waste. Shine her up, and get some good protection layed down before winter hits.

Do it. More protection is better than no protection!

If you don't care about the marks and such in it, Clay, FMP, then MSS!

What they said. Especially if you are anywhere near Detroit, which as locals know, is one big salt mine. Protect your ride from all that salt at least and get a few more years of no rust.

Polish/seal and call it good and seal every few months.
