Indeed RcBandit

I also added this line to the detail part.....(you might as well know what you can get out of that Klasse Glaze

In addition, Klasse Glaze can be applied to all the taillights, headlights, foglights as well...just make
sure you rub it off after it's left on for a little.

Your choice.....if you have small hairline scratches...lenses are old...then use the Klasse ALL-In-One.

ANOTHER TIP...use Klasse on your cd's and dvd's too to clean and polish to crystal clear playability.

Yet, if you have already All-In-One'd your headlights...etc, then periodically, just use the Klasse Glase as
a quick wipedown and wipe off.

ALWAYS REMEMBER. A LITTLE GOES A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Way !

Have fun!

This may seem a bit foolish, but I can't help to think about it. We all know that salt is our vehicles number 1 enemy if we drive in the winter. Well, I've been thinking of the water that I use to wash my trucks. We have hard water, so we have a water softener. This means that every time I wash my vehicles, I am pouring water on them that includes a lot of salt!
Is this potentially harmful or am I thinking too much about it? I could turn the softener off, but then I'll have to deal with hard water spots.

I'm just trying to look at this at every angle. Maybe going to a car wash will be my best bet.

I would suggest a car wash to get a basic wash immediately...then come home and start your detail.

Yet, recently I was in KRAGEN automotive...same as Pep Boys and other stores, and I notice there
was a new product that you can add to your hose and it clears and purifies the water so your
car or truck comes out SPOT FREE.

I know this is better for people who are in areas of high salt or contaminents....yet I am sure you will
know what I am talking about when you see it....it comes with a nozzle, liquid that you add to the container...
it's just designed to clear water and not add anything else....it was in a big blue box and in
a Kyosk or display box on the middle of the store floor.

Winter is tough to deal with. When it is cold here, about the 40's, the key is getting the water on and off as quickly as possible.
So doing sections at a time is more preferrable if that is possible...starting with the roof first (mist, wash and then rinse) and
then work your way down. You will want to dry as quickly as possible, and you should have a blower to blow the water out of
the creases and areas where water stays....so it doesn't freeze. Cold weather creates a LOT of havoc on paint...so make sure
you wax often and most of all...always keep detail spray of any brand in your vehicle so that you can wipe down often so washing
will be less necessary.

You want to apply any type of comfort to your tires. Actually, for your area, there are brands that resist water and ice and you
should look into that.

P.S. Car washes are not ALL bad....

White is BRITE and DYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYNOMITE!

You have the car with the color that will show less swirls than any other color.

So...1st...you have to wash it, because the Auto Dealer always applies their glaze which messes up the process...

You must wash , dry off....and then WAX....that's IT!!!

After 6 months goes by....use a polish to go around your truck.....then WAX.......then wait another 6 months...and repeat....

You should wax your truck once a week or once every two weeks at longest time. You will have a truck that looks so
ARCTIC WHITE and blind those loser Rice Burner trucks on the road!
