During that time I can get one car wash per day. It doesn't do as good of a job as the full handwash, but it's a better alternative to leaving the car dirty in between it's weekly washings at the detail shop. Having the underbody flushed daily of any salt residue will certainly help a lot, plus I'll also get the "clearcoat protection" as well, which I know isn't as good as a true wax, but if it's being applied to the paint every day it certainly has to help protect it somewhat.
The one thing I always hated the most about past winters was that I only got to see my car clean for maybe one or two days out of every week. Now with this new plan the car will never be dirty for very long! It's well worth the $150 to me!
Great Idea. I am going to see if my touchless wash has a season pass.
I would not count on that scented water(clear coat protection)
Perhaps have the detail shop wax the car once now, so your good for the winter.
