Paint

92hatchback · December 4th, 2007, 10:35 AM

i got a brand new paint job over the summer on my stang. N unfortunaly i have to drive it during the winter. i was just wondering if there was any advice to keeping my paint as good as it is now during the winter. thx

a good waxing, keep it washed free of salt, and even keep it covered when not running it

yes get an car cover with an lock...cover it when ever you can...also spray down the bottom if you ever drive it on days it snows or they put salt on the road...wash it everday...and wax every other will help alot...

The best advice I can give ya is to buy a winter beater.

Otherwise just prepare yourself for all the sand and salt chips.

Dude first of all its damn near suicide driving a Mustang in the snow. Second you can get a front wheel drive POS for less than 500 bucks that will last the winter easily.. Dont drive it. Beg borrow or steal to get a few extra bucks for the POS, take the Stang off the road and use that money for insurance on the beater..

he's right

Drick · December 5th, 2007, 02:37 AM

I dont know about that one NBA

92hatchback · December 5th, 2007, 10:17 AM

ya i would get a beater, but dont have enough money for one right now. but where i live i should be able to get by using my car, it snows alot but roads are plowed within hours, so when theres snow on the ground the car stays parked and i use someone elses..
