I'm a complete detailing noob and this was my first time doing a "winter prep" on my cars. It wasn't anything crazy - just washing, waxing and applying headlight sealant on all the outside lights to minimize road grime collection. We had a few snowfalls and I've got to say, the prep actually helped!
Very little road salt/grime stuck to the cars, especially on the bottom parts of the doors where it loves to cake on. I also waxed the side and rear windows, and this seemed to help the snow clean off easier in the morning with my snow brush. The headlights are still clear, whereas before, I'd have to wipe them down a few times in the days following a storm. The rain cleaned off the little grime that was on the cars and they look great again! It's also cool seeing rainwater bead up and off the paint.
Definitely a fan of winter detailing
