Not sure about all of you, but the Granite Crystal paint looks incredible after a clay bar session and wax!
Also got the carpets shampooed, and the whole interior steam cleaned.

Everyone thinks Buffalo is the snow capital. I live close to the lake, which provides protection from the truly heavy stuff. And I looked at the long term forecast...zero precipitation and in the low 50's for highs over the next ten days or so. I couldn't wait!! I hate salt!! Lol

I'm just west of Erie, PA. I can't count how many times the crap we were supposed to get missed us and blasted you guys. But yeah, the forecast does look pretty good right now.

You say "you guys".
The city of Buffalo doesn't get the snow like everyone is led to believe. The major snow falls 20 miles south, and further south into PA

Do you have heated seats ? Wondering if the steam cleaning would be ok in my ram. Thanks

I'm looking forward to getting mine done, but I'm going to wait til early May. There still too much crap on the roads and the weather is still iffy. Looking forward to seeing what she looks like. Going to have the complete exterior done with a ceramic coating.

You arent too far from me, and I agree!

Friggen CT, we'll probably get snow in April...no sense cleaning up the truck now.

I do need a somewhat decent day soon, though....got a lot of industrial fallout on my truck, creating tiny tiny specks of rust on the surface. Have my bottle of IronX ready to go, just waiting for a day thats not cold as ice.

I keep my interior pretty spotless year round apart from the slush mats, but in the spring I like to pull the snow tires off and before I put the summers on pressure wash the whole under carriage using water to get the heavy stuff off then a soak with a degreaser/cleaner followed by another thorough rinse. I leave the clay bar till summer. Too much work for more than once a year.

I get the detailing itch this time of year too. I just know if I really shine my truck up nice there will be a flurry or two and the sanders will be sent out..
