Well, its that time of year when winter really starts to get old. Frozen crusty dirty snow, dirty car, grey skys, dirty garage, and potholes everywhere. All I can think about is getting a ton of Zaino products and shining my Mini back up like new.

 

Give the P21S stuff a try with the Klasse all in one. I like the results better than zaino . I tried the recommendations on the perfect shine (vendor here) worked wonders

 

Yeah winter sucks to me too. Where are you from?

 

Minnesota.

You got a link for the P21S stuff?

 

and I thought our winters in Maine were tough.

I googled your p21s and got this site: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/p21-127.html Next time you can try googling it yourself. It's not as hard as posting at this site.

 

Here in Alabama we have had a really mild winter (our normal winters don't ever compare to MN winters) but I might ought to start the official I am so sick of rain thread

 

thats the site, autotopia. They are a nam vendor .

 

Winter? I'm not sure when that's suppose to get here. We have had an early Fall thing going on for a while though.

 

Actually its been pretty mild this winter but as far as keeping the car clean has little to do with it. I hate to say it buy my mini has become just another car because of winter. I really should have bought a winter beater instead of winter wheels. Hopefully some wax will revive things.

 

...I really do miss winter: brisk cold and clear starry nights, cross country skiing, snow angels, the dogs running through it and coming back crusted with dangling snow ***** ....in the Florida Keys, things turn to shades of dull green and brown. Except for the Bouganvillas, it's their time to bloom, but I can't drive Ducky through a thicket of Bougies...it's just not the same as finding a large empty parking lot with a fresh layer of snow and going around and around and around :impatient ....Mick

 

its been a mild winter here too, but as soon as the ground gets wet the car's bum changes color! (dark silver front, sides, darker silver back!)

 

LOL! Aint that the truth! My shiny Pepper White bum (Yea, I guess that could be mine & the MINI's ) turns to "salt & pepper" color before I can get out of the driveway. 3/4'ths of the MINI always looks great. My Audi and Porsche don't have nearly this bad of "aero" effect. Ahhh, life driving something the shape of a shoebox.

 

I hate winter. Make it stop - it made my car dirty, someone slammed their door into mine, and I didn't notice 'till I washed the car There are now two full-fledged scratches I have to deal with. I know, it's my fault for parking too somewhere which gave someone the opportunity to park right next to me.

I hate salt, ice, snow, other stuff that hurts my car, and winter.

I need a garage.

Thanks for listening.

Another dirty bum here. And I really hate it when I can't see myself in the JCW exhaust tips. Heck, today I could barely see the tips themselves!

Been mild here too, but just damp enough to make it impossible to keep it clean. But chin's up mates, spring'll be here soon!

I am SOOOO sick of the rain. And its not because of the dirty cars, it is because of the dirty DOGS that cannot go out back without covering themselves in mud! Every night we have to hose them down, then dry them, then vacuum the house after the random bits of dirt fall onto the floor!

I'll take snow over this constant wetness!

 

another dirty bum here in Chicago the winter's been mild here too. Only 2 really good snowfalls so far. Just a lot of wet roads making for a very dirty bum. I have to clean the rear window every-other day . At least it's not very big since it's a cabrio . Can't wait for Spring

 

After a very mild winter, we got 7 inches of snow between Sunday and Monday and another 7 inches just today.

Two outcomes:

1. I had to shovel three times today :impatient
2. I haven't been able to drive my MINI!

 

Haven't had a problem keeping my Mini clean this Winter. Haven't had a Mini at all since it was totalled on Dec. 12. But, when the new one comes in around Valentine's Day it'll be pretty damn clean!

 

ive got a dirty pink bum too.... stupid weather.

 

The fact is, if I want it to rain I wash the Cooper.

"Honey, the grass is looking dry - shall we wash the car?"

"Okay - I'll back it out of the garage, you get the bucket and sponge."

 

I just got four great snow tires this year and I can't wait to get enough snow and ice and slush to try them out. Sorry to swim against the tide.

I'm looking forward to some nice long winter drives thru some picture book winter wonderlands.

Oh yeah. I bought a season pass to the local car wash and shine.

 

and you blame that on the weather???

very impatiently waiting for Spring in Chicago,
Tatt

 

 

WINTER!!!! Its winter time???? I hate when I miss that. How long has it been winter??? I knew there was a reason for the temps had dropped into the 70s. I miss summer... common 110deg.
